"Why can Mamdani Just Fuckin Lie about unpopular beliefs while so many of his peers cannot?" Mamdani's leftism is more ruthlessly (laudatory) pragmatic and power-focused than theirs. He cares less about "winning the debate of ideas" and more about achieving power to enact his will
there are two types of fans of things- those who treat it like a hobby and understand it's ok to laugh at things you enjoy and those who use it to replace church or whatever in their lives and are very vigilant against Blasphemy
apparently this happened because one of Lieberman's biggest haters just walked in and declared themselves chairman of the party. real beast mode shit

I would like to propose the Taco Bell Principle When a person/institution Did A Problem, & IMMEDIATELY fesses up & takes proactive steps to solve it That's exactly what we want them to do? So how bout we let them live ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Sarah Taber@sarahtaber.bsky.social · 3w agoA quick word on Taco Bell: That's where we found the suspected lettuce, and it's not bc Taco Bell is gross. It's bc Taco Bell is REALLY GOOD at tracing product! Keeping track of exactly where they got their ingredients, & exactly what restaurants each shipment of ingredients went to!

The "use" paradigm is so self serving when wielded by high earners. Managers need society more than anyone else. I manage a group of 20ish engineers. That means not only do I need roads to exist to get me to work, I need roads to get them to work from places where I don't live. It's not complicated.

i think reforming and improving our education system has to be a big priority of any future Dem administration. it just isn't feasible to have serious political debate in a country where 1 in 10 Americans don't believe in space
Nute@nutedawn.bsky.social · 2d agoLeaving aside my personal distaste: I wish it were possible to have a more intellectually honest debate about how Democrats should approach the basic reality of ‘there are a ton of cranks in the electorate’ which didn’t get bogged down immediately in factionalism and parasocial shit

Thanks. Yes, that's what I was trying to say, but took too long to get there. Our politics community is strong, and I'd love for us to expand into new communities. Science and sports have already taken off. Birding, gardening, K-pop, we're open to all (except nazis and jerks).
it really is amazing how the GOP has become the wrong-about-everything party. they hate civil rights, they hate freedom of speech, they hate modern medicine, and now they hate free trade. can't be good for the country, but at least it makes voting much easier
