Since the dumbasses are comparing Ms. Rachel to Mr. Rogers again, allow me to give you firsthand experience Mr. Rogers sent me a get well card when I was hospitalized as a child. (my mom worked for PBS and he learned I was ill.) Ms. Rachel would want to see me murdered because I’m Jewish
America is a right wing country. While there are deep blue areas and blue states, the country leans right. If It didn't, Black people wouldn't still be fighting for basic rights. I don't like it, but incremental gains is how we shift this country leftward. It's not going to be all at once.
They see everything as *entertainment* which is why so many of them believe everything is scripted
Christine@chermitup.bsky.social · 6d ago"We should elect [insert completely unqualified celeb] for president!" THAT'S the lesson you learned from the past decade? You should get your driver's license taken away. I don't trust you behind the wheel of heavy machinery.

"Craig the plumber should be president!" Craig the plumber spends all his money that should be going to child support on weed. I don't care if he's white and working class. He's never even been to a school board meeting, he's not qualified. Be serious.
click on the link and read bluesky posters saying "actually yes the dems should lose to maga" on al gores internet
there actually is a party in the united states that opposes trans rights but it aint the democrats some around here have intentionally lost the plot
I don't know how to tell activists this, but committing political murder-suicide any time you don't get 100% of what you want is not how you get successful progress on your ideas. You've all collectively spent most of my entire 40-odd year lifetime trying that tactic and look where it got us.
How Have Democrats Failed You Today, A Continuing Series
I doubt they disclosed that Larry Ellison, de facto owner of CBS, owns Oracle, which is deeply, deeply in debt building AI data centers - and any AI bust will likely bankrupt Ellison. Complete corruption of CBS to become corporate propaganda for its owner.
60 Minutes@60minutes.bsky.social · 3d agoNew correspondent Ross Douthat says "no story looms larger than the latest developments in artificial intelligence." The technology and its impacts will be a major focus of 60 Minutes reporting.
They not only do not believe in harm reduction, they specifically believe some people *should be* harmed for their comfort and entertainment
Dr. Acton gave a realistic answer people didn’t like about the realities of being Governor & people are still bashing her like someone didn’t recently try to rush her with weapons. People are chopping a Becerra interview & pretending CA under him would be harmful because you deify some bloggers.
They are not a caucus within the party. The DSA hates the Democratic Party. The DSA hates the Democratic Party more than they hate Republicans and Trump.
lowtax speedrun enjoyer@rickywlmsbong.bsky.social · 5d agomost dems are well to the left of dem leadership and view dsa folks as a caucus within the party. “dems vs dsa” and “libs vs socialists” among us plebes is mostly just Online
Every time I hear the “Democrats would be a far right party in Europe” canard I think, “Europeans vote for fascists at the first sign of multiculturalism and if they had even a fraction America‘s racial and cultural history they also wouldn‘t have robust social safety nets or rail systems.”
Seeing people defending Rula Jabreal for being Black but not Kamala Harris for being Black is wild, man.
Folk try to sound smart when saying “I’m not voting for lesser of two evils” But they just sound dumb and willfully ignorant
This whole convo has been very White. Apparently there are no BIPOC trans people
MJ@princessmom122.bsky.social · 4d agoJesus Christ, there’s a realistic chance we’ll all be dead by the end of the decade because billionaires have lost control of their AI toys, and you’ll want to run another round with Republicans in charge? I don’t know, I think we should at least try to save humanity.
Agree. And this is coming from someone raised in evangelical Protestantism. Because they believe that Jesus is coming again, but not until *every human on earth* has been evangelized. And that hell will be everyone else, but heaven Christians only
SpryOldLorax@spryoldlorax.bsky.social · 3d ago"So you're saying that Christians should abandon all forms of evangelism" Yes. "I hate how it's often practiced, but to me a complete absence of evangelism is unkindness in the highest order." This is actually cult/brainwashing of the highest order. Believe what you want; do not force it on me.
Of all the things that never happened, this never happened the most. DSA literally tried to shove a Nazi down the throats of actual Democratic voters. And they damn near fucking succeeded. Now they wanna rewrite the whole thing and act like they were the good guys shrieking about the tattoo.

Things Marxist MAGA has said: ‘We need to move on from identity politics’ ‘Democrats haven’t done anything for people in 100 years’ (ignoring the Civil Rights Act, Voting Rights Act, and Fair Housing Act) ‘The Black establishment defangs the Left’ ‘Who gets to be Black?’
1 man, 1 political party and 1/3 of the country didn't do this. 2/3rd of Americans support this and want this. Trump doesn't matter because what's going on today is what most Americans want:
@brickmach.bsky.social · 4d agoCountries are silently moving away from America as they are now deemed untrustworthy how did 1 man 1 political party and one third of a country create this
That’s bc most of those white leftists come from the same kkk and neo nazi type of groups as their right wing counterparts and many were right wing for years
Saudi Arabia in many ways has itself to blame, letting Iran be for years, hoping it would destroy Israel and leave them alone.
