They got collectively cancelled after getting brainworms w/r/t the Ukraine/Russia conflict.
Combination of denying the invasion would happen/was happening/did happen/"actually the invasion was justified because all Ukranians are Nazis", followed by mass-deleting their social media posts related.
I mean, they were always kind of toothless to begin with. An inherent problem with trying to be "PragerU but for the Left"—the reason PragerU has such compelling narratives is because they lie their asses off, and Conservatives enjoy the lies.
You can't build a compelling Left-wing version of that.
Not sure what happened to them? I think I heard that their last video had some pro-russian sentiments, or something like that, and then they just went dark 😕
This wasn’t prescient. It was just catastrophizing. Blind squirrel action. But they still should’ve nominated Bernie, who was just a better candidate who would’ve won in that political environment and would’ve been a better President.
put some respect on gravel's name for fucks sake. it comes from a long long life of seeing the same stupid shit repeated by the democratic party over and over and over again. gravel and sanders had a long history going back decades of dealing with the dumbest political party ever
The Democratic Party was too fixated on showing themselves as prim and proper people who had neutralized their hippie wing that they prioritized image upkeep over determining what they stood for.
See the secret is, the democraticnparty knew he was right and called him a nut to save face. At the highest levels, there is no real difference between democrat and republican, just a bunch of rich assholes trying tobkeep themselves up and everyone else down.
Gravel was trying to warn us in 2008 during a Dem primary debate. He was laughed at by Obama, Hillary, et. al when he talked about the US's warmongering & imperialism, along with the rise of the security/intelligence state.
I don’t understand what this is saying. How was Obama substantively different from Biden outside of the value of their respective public images and relations?
The liberal tendency to ask "Wait, are you seriously saying [thing nobody said]" needs to die.
It does nothing but make you look like you need to be babysat, and it has gone on far enough that you're now losing elections to people who don't keep saying "Huh? What's happening? What do you mean?"
You know, if you weren't trying so hard not to call me a woman, you wouldn't end up saying shit like "a person not worth arguing with," which has about as much grammar as a 2005 anime fan translation
The tweet is clearly delineating some qualitative difference between Obama and Biden, but such a delineation is so confused I actually can’t tell whether this is meant to imply that Obama was worse or better.
Why do you believe it clearly delineating a difference between Obama and Biden? Why do you immediately say that it's "confused" directly after saying that it's "clear"? Why are you proud of not understanding?
In 2019, his Twitter account was run by two college students who inspired and worked for his campaign. They did the tweeting, it’s probably a tame version of what he really said.
Mike died in 2021. Huge figure in Alaska politics, as well as the fight against the draft and the Vietnam war. Still a legend, in spite of his later-life flirtations with Libertarians and other questionable people.
I swear sometimes I just wanna do horrible shit to them for cathartic reasons as they act like the useful idiots for fascism they are by blaming minorites for their woes.
Right after Bernie won Nevada, BEFORE Biden won South Carolina, Matt told me the Dems would pick Biden. I asked him how he knew. He said something like “They just will — it’s gonna be Biden”
Had Bernie not been thrown under the bus in 2016, he would've beat rump and then been the choice for 2020.
No idea why Biden was the choice in 2020, but he was the choice. Whining about it, throwing a temper tantrum, and not voting for his VP is what has allowed fascists to gain control.
most of us did vote for both biden and his vp this historic loss is much more attributable to years of unforced errors w predictable results as im highlighting here by dem leadership and most of the anger sh directed at them accordingly
I thought the general consensus after Biden won in 2020 was ok cool he can do the 1 term and then he would be too old to run again becauase that's silly. That would've been so silly if he did that! Haha soooo sillyyy... *crying*

The problem is white liberals who think being right on the internet is a moral virtue and thus volunteer in droves to do Republicans' PR for them.

Someone make this into that Jesus meme where people hate him for telling the truth.
Dems/GOP are 2 flip sides of same coin.
#DemExit #GOPExit #DemsAreGOP 👍
You offer Obama 2.0, you end up with Trump 2.0*

He's actually talking about the nomination of Biden

Okay?? That's nothing to be proud of. It's like coming into a thread and admitting you suffer from incontinence.
I swear to god, some people want to superficially imitate Socrates without understanding that he chose his questions with the *utmost* of care.
I think you need to reread the tweet

You all threw Bernie under the bus so vote who you're fucking stuck with!
Otherwise, you're to blame for a fascist getting elected!
"vote who you're stuck with!"
