The media's takeaway from an El-Sayed win is the same as it would have been from a Stevens win, and the same as it will be if El-Sayed wins the general, or if he loses it: everyone, no matter who they are, needs to take several steps to the right.

I haven't really looked at or paid attention to any results, but I'm pleased to say that, whatever they were or are, they strongly validate precisely whatever it is I've been saying.
Getting HIV in 1986 was a death sentence. It's now a manageable, preventable condition. It can be made undetectable and untransmissible. We can take a pill or shot and not catch it. That is straight-up miraculous.
Constantine@ajaxsinger.bsky.social · 14h agoFood, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.
the bullies at school keep making me squeeze through narrow gaps so that they can seamlessly integrate cutscenes into gameplay without a loading screen.
To everyone who complains about places like San Francisco or whatever being "littered with human feces" on their way to a presentation on data centers or whatever, this works with making more public restrooms too

people now dont get it you would smoke like 4 bowls of straight swamp dirt and go "man im so high right now dude" because you'd enjoy watching winamp visualizer back in the 00s. nowadays you take a vape hit of some shit called femboy sweat and suddenly youtube videos are scary and you cant stand up

this is actually my fav part of this whole shitshow, where he argues that he needs to stay in office because of his record in fighting for the people of Ohio by....wait for it....supporting Ukraine and the ACA, both of which his party have been trying to end since day 1
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 19h agoTAPPER: Hold on -- hold on, 'cause I'm not done with the list of women who have accused you of violence. Are all three of them lying? REP. MAX MILLER: Yes. And I'm not getting out of the race because in 2016, President Donald J Trump faced the most extreme allegations in the world ...
‘i can’t unsubscribe from claude because it organizes my schedule’ what’s wrong with you. just have ADHD.
I think winning a race where you get outspent by like a factor of 10 is a pretty solid outcome all things considered, if you wanted a landslide, I dunno which race you were watching

PSA: It's even worse. Craig not only operated a revenge porn website, but he also was engaging in racketeering by secretly running several shell companies that offered a paid service that would remove your revenge porn *from the revenge porn distro sites he owned*.

If you present "I had a Nazi phase" as only as meaningful as "I used to play softball" you are doing Nazi work, and that's the end of the matter for me.
Why is this such a hard line? Because you need to, as part of your anti-Nazi work, show other Nazis and people flirting with Naziism that you don't get to leave it all behind. You carry it in your heart for the rest of your life. You can live a small meaningful righteous life- you can never lead.
If you were a notable neo-Nazi, and you are trying to do better, that is good; but if you do not understand that "I will no longer seek power over anyone other than myself" is an essential part of that redemption you are not redeemed at all. You're still a fucking Nazi.

The GOP doesn't get punished if this country doesn't elect more leftists.
it is very difficult to have The Personal Account and The RPG Account because, like, no-one else has that so keeping some kind of Brand Consistency for The RPG Account is in fact very hard on this very-not-tumblry site
I'd really like if progressive candidates who otherwise talk a really good talk would stop leaning into casual antisemitism, that'd be very cool I'd also like if people paid to talk about progressive candidates would stop saying "antisemitic" when they mean "Muslim" or "not pro-genocide"
