That entire subreddit can kiss my ass.

No one in NL would’ve believed this a year ago. In fact, they’d be insulted at the prospect.

johncarltonking.bsky.social•20 days ago

They probably wouldn't have believed this a week ago

Even accounting for NL’s contrarian strain, and general overly-online-teen-male-ness, it’s remarkable.

Did he actually have it or did he just think he did?

Knew he probably didn't have it, then tried to gaslight everyone. They bet on it getting blocked in the House and didn't have a backup plan when Trump whipped the 'Freedom Caucus' continent into voting for it under threat of a Musk-backed primary challenge.

How much of that subreddit is just "Well if voting D makes me a nEoliBeRal I guess I'm a neoliberal" though?

Most of it. There are some unironic neoliberals, but most of the users are just small l liberals. Big on social liberties, typically support capitalism AND the institutions necessary to tamp down on abuses, and generally not fans of radical politics. But they do hate that Schumer refuses to fight.

the subreddit started as a meme counterpart to r/badeconomics because people kept calling them neoliberals for supporting obama, and it's only moved leftward ever since it became a big tent for libs/progs purity tested out of left-wing spaces. so, most of them have nothing to do with reagan

Yeah, that's what I figured. As such it's nice for them to support AOC but not actually a meaningful sign

johncarltonking.bsky.social•20 days ago

He's not popular around there

wikisteff.bsky.social•20 days ago

Fuck.

yorokobe.bsky.social•20 days ago

what Reddit app is that?

I've missed sync pro

johncarltonking.bsky.social•20 days ago

Relay

I could be wrong, but this looks like Boost? Apparently you can use that again with ReVanced Manager

As a former Sync and Boost user, the best replacement I've found so far is Infinity+

johncarltonking.bsky.social•20 days ago

Relay in this case. I have to pay $4 a month, but it's worth it to me
