Good things are good, bad things are bad you dorks. Proud Democrat 🏳️⚧️
I would be embarrassed to admit that a core "economic theory" in my worldview originated in a fantasy novel.
Imagine saying this after the Democratic party lined up to support the former most left-wing senator for a presidential bid not even two years ago
It's pretty clear that, for centrist/establishment Dems, "Blue No Matter Who" applies only to progressive voters whose preferred candidate lost The establishment has cooked their brains into thinking winning over moderate GOP voters is a winning strategy
A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…
I've seen enough, Michigan looks like a bad shadow puppet attempt
Regardless of how it turns out NO HE DIDN’T. It’s like saying I have more fingers on my left hand after counting 8 digits from left to right with a ring finger and a pinky still to report.
Next up will be the equivalent of the "degenerate Jewish science" thing but it won't be nuclear physics this time, probably something like "statistics and data analysis as a degenerate form of mathematics erasing the true experience of the Self" or a sustained attack on modern food safety science.
THE LEFT: Unlike those dirty centrists, we won’t sell you out for the approval of pompous pricks with Substacks. ME: Really? Neat! THE LEFT: We’ll sell you out for the approval of sweaty dumbasses who hit shit with hammers and the woo granola types.
This is actually the underlying debate behind the "vibecession" discourse because it's actually a much more consequential and broadly applicable one about whether reality matters or the perception of reality matters and all the downstream consequences of that
I feel like I'm going crazy. (Well, even crazier.) Discourse seems divorced from reality. We talk about market vibes instead of the actual physical tankers stuck in the strait. We talk about MAHA polling and not the actual polio disease. We talk about gender ideology and not my actual fucking tits.
A week after El-Sayed said "Yes, I think the antisemites and me have some common ground" and now it's AOC "I think MAHA is really a mass proletarian movement with some good points."
Trying to refrain "Dems need MAHA" to instead be "Dems need some voters with mildly cooky beliefs" is real guilty conscious shit.
Why the fuck does every leftist candidate want to find common ground with Trump's most insane soldiers
Sure the MAHA activists want to make it illegal for trans people to access hormones but they're so authentic and populist about it so
“It’s not a fight between left and right, it’s between top and bottom. Which is why I met with a bunch of plague cultists for the most powerful man in the entire world.”

I was told that folks like AOC were finally going to treat the right-wing like the enemies they are, but they keep on talking about how correct far-right activists are. Please, sir, my US left, it's very sick.
There is pervasive corruption across our healthcare and agricultural systems that defy party lines. I meet with MAHA activists because a lot of their concerns are bipartisan issues that major corporations paint as partisan. The fight isn't left and right, it's top and bottom.
In World 8-7 of New Super Mario Bros. Wii, releasing a mushroom on the third Spine Coaster but not collecting it results in an entertaining interaction whereby the Spine Coaster will balance the mushroom on its nose, like a seal trained to balance a ball.
"Abolish capitalism so we can have a cornucopia of cheap, high-quality consumer goods" - I'm sorry, somehow you got lost on the way to Wal-Mart and arrived at the Marxist-Leninist meeting
biden's military "participated in the genocide" by delivering food and aid to the victims
The president is endorsing war crimes in Iran Bernie
Bernie Sanders: "The immediate issue of the moment is whether or not we continue to put tens of billions of dollars into the extremist Netanyahu government which has killed 75,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children ... "
Still can’t over the fact that the president of the United States just told an entire state to pound sand after getting cyberattacked by a foreign adversary because they didn’t vote for him and it was treated like a Tuesday lol
I’ll give $100 to the first 2028 D presidential hopeful who endorses an Afrikaner “refugee” rodeo as ICE’s last show
