Huh, is AES going to be the first "real" election the "left" has run in a large competitive race against the gop? This... could be interesting.

You know what would be the funniest thing to happen right now?

I never want to hear another goddamn word about Cheney.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez@ocasio-cortez.house.gov · 2d ago

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.

Post about moderate democrats having a choice.... Tons of replies of leftists telling moderates to fuck off and burn in hell. Lol... thats not a good look so far.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterday

New in PN: Moderate Democrats have a choice to make "They can spend the next three months reinforcing Republican messaging about their party & making it less likely Dems take power. Or they can put the 'battle for the soul of the party' off for a while and do what they can to help their party win."

It's comically clear the left will not vote for moderate dems with all they say and all they've done in the michigan primary. Which is kinda wild when their candidate seems to be winning in polls... and they will have to have some centrist dem votes.

The leftist: I vote dem! Same exact leftist: Centrist dems are trash and are just there to keep power and wealth. They do nothing. Me: Then... why do you vote for those dems? Same leftist: <user has blocked you> Lol

We could have had the smart Black Lady with the funny laugh. Once again BW are going to get hit the hardest by this. Black folks only make up around 14% of the population but they provide 22% of social workers. They also carry higher debt & make less. Look at the other careers on the list

President Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/aaAEu6v

Don’t forget: whatever the moron in chief talks about: lawns, reflecting pool, ballroom, Cuba, Greenland and whatever stupid memes he posts at night are mere distractions to make us forget the essentials: 1) He’s stuck in the world stupidest war he declared himself 2) the Epstein files

There's probably another word for it, but I'm going to call it "Deep Blame". And this is what leftists spend a ton of time doing here. This is where we start blaming everyone in the system, no matter how far or unrelated. Even those opposed to ideas get blamed for not stopping them. It's silly.

Things would be 100 times better if Kamala Harris was President right now and if you still refuse to acknowledge that fact then you are a lost cause.

This is so true. Texans you have to turn Texas back to blue. You have to want better.

I follow elizabeth warren here and it's so odd. You can tell that most leftists don't follow her. She talks about a ton of issues they claim to support, and talks about working on real bills. And few to no comments. Most of the replies are from more centrist democrats who are often upset.

What a mess. A lot of college kids that stayed home in 24 may be watching their colleges get fucked up in the near future.

Scoop: The Trump administration is sending a letter to college presidents asking them to pledge a series of policy changes by the end of the year. Unlike last year's Compact, this effort was devised with input from higher ed leaders. Free link to my exclusive: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

The left just thinks that dems can win by just telling people what the left wants. If that was the case, the left would have already won it all. The left has no clue how to deal with talking to a population about what that population wants. The left can only talk to leftists.

Sad but true🤔...

When I was a kid, being uninsurable due to “pre-existing conditions” was a thing. Now, thanks to Democrats, it isn’t.

BIG DEAL on voting rights this morning: Governor Spanberger just restored the voting rights of some 60,000+ Virginians. Her move reverses Youngkin's abrupt decision in 2023 to end automatic voting rights restoration, which brought Virginia back to a system of default lifetime disenfranchisement.

Virginia Governor Restores Voting Rights for Thousands With Past Felony Convictions - Bolts

This is the only state that, absent action by the governor, bans people convicted of any felony from voting for life. Virginians have an opportunity to end that system for good in November.

This is what Democrats do. Elect them.

The logic that the left often uses here of "why didn't dems pull out a magic wand and fix it all," also goes both ways. Why didn't the left pull out their magic wand and fix it? If you avoid giving responsibility to the gop for their gop actions, then it has to be all our faults.

Has anyone watched and animated show Pantheon? While the overall extent is different, sometimes this AI/data center conversation hits on some intersting similar points.

@letterboxd.social How about a mid year review for everyone as it's august? Or maybe you already did one and I missed it? #Top4sofar?

Good stuff out there, but Hadestown may not be playing much in a lot of places with spiderman taking a ton of screens. #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

For the enlightenment of the 💩🤡s going after Fauci:

It's like the same 5 conversations with leftists: 1. We won this one race, give us the whole party! 2. Trump sucks, but did you know dems super suck? 3. Everyone loves us and hates you. 4. I'm shocked trump did this thing he said be would do. 5. Why do dems never do anything?

If a post says "trump is horrible, but" and then spends the rest of the comment attacking only dems with no context (just emotional content like 'no spine' and 'fight')... I feel like that's probably a troll. Isnt that odd that when Trump and the gop are in control, they only attack dems?

Wow. Almost freaky.

Alexander Hamizdat 🇵🇷@alexhammy209.bsky.social · 6d ago

Again, my discussions with the left leave me amazed at how they have zero practical path towards... getting anything done. And obsess over their personal feelings with no care for consequences. It's a day that ends in "y".

Do leftists understand how congress works? They are winning a few primaries, but seem to want to push folks to not vote for dems in other races. The more dems, the better chance their candidates can have a majority and pass something. Or is that not the point?
