One of the great things about having a dog is that every once in a while you get a picture that would have gone turbo viral on 9gag or The Chive back in the day

This guy is either a fed or a very loose cannon
Post 1: technically speaking if ICE is illegally trying to kidnap you, you have the right to use lethal force in many states Post 2: yeah you also have the liability to be jailed for shooting a fed this isn’t the own you think it is Post 3: that’s cool, in Texas stand your ground laws exist. Plus dead Nazis are a bonus

Sure, but does anyone who has paid attention to anything in politics in the last 15 years seriously believe that the fascists will suffer meaningful consequences without a wholesale change in D leadership and strategy first?
Post text: The fact doomers have gone from “America is over” to “Dems won’t hold anyone responsible when this is over” can actually be read as an optimistic signal imo.

Political parties have no institutional resources or influence that can be leveraged to help people materially, and if you expect them to try, you know nothing. I am a savvy politics knower 😌
Post: This is one of a fascinating genre of posts, where the author’s conception of the “DNC” is inserted into an idea space where an actual political party would be, if actual political parties were not broadly illegal in this country. Quoted post: If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation. Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

Post text: it’s deeply sad that certain parts of the pro-Pali left would rather lie and smear the second-most openly pro-Palestinian prominent elected political figure after Rashida Tlaib than concede an inch rhetorically.

Dropping a tactical nuke on a strawman
Post text: Oh, I’m still gonna regret this, but it’s true. The way the alt left talks about the Democratic Party is the same way they talk about Israel. The Israeli government does something evil therefore the entire country, every single person in it, is also responsible.

This is from a while ago, but what the hell, here’s some deeply unserious analysis that I’d like to skewer with a mini-thread because I’m bored 1/
Post text: what does move left mean? Mostly nothing. Except for Gaza there is little or no difference between policy proposals of someone like Mamdani and someone like Pelosi. AOC went to Congress with great ideas that the rest of the party supported and Biden acted on—but the legislative process exists
