“He’s a big enough bully to stand up to Trump,” yeah I don’t know, I kinda feel like if a *podcaster* got him to walk back an allegedly principled stand, he won’t stand up to shit

My biggest nerd ass hang-up that proves I did, in fact, work in national electoral politics is that support is a mostly meaningless, irrelevant number you can chop up to say whatever you want while intention to vote is what wins elections and speaks to the actual, functional support for a party.
According to CNN the most motivated voters would vote for Dems by 16 in 2026. Registered voter polls are understating Dem midterm advantage pretty substantially. www.cnn.com/2026/01/18/p...

I have never been a fan of this guy but there’s gotta be some kind of code where people sitting on their asses posting shouldn’t come after people who are actually in the streets
I don’t have time nor inclination to think much about this right now but in the last 12 hours or so a ton of people in the left of this site have suddenly been attacking me, including with carefully edited screenshots of old tweets, and I’m pretty confused what’s happening.

gachas operate on FOMO to preserve their userbase but it doesn't fully work on me because I have AMOSC (actually missed out sunk cost) so if I miss a month or so of content it makes me want to just quit entirely

one of the best things about this whole nightmare has been watching a whole bunch of folks who have clearly never been seriously political in their lives standing up and going, no, absolutely the fuck not, we’re not letting this happen
ICE and MAGA really did bet the farm on all of Minneapolis’s white people going “oh yes, please take away our disgusting, evil non-white-foreigner neighbors, oh thank you so much.”
it’s beautiful that they’ve been proven incredibly wrong about that - may the rest of the country do the same.
