The two types of political coverage nowadays are i) a leopard is eating someone’s face and ii) maybe democrats should get into nibbling on some noses because that’s how you win, and I would like to see more representation for my anti-face-eating beliefs. - ThreadSky

Normalise face-sitting instead of face-eating

That’s all I got

ladylinet.bsky.social•111 days ago

Maybe we are all over thinking this. Maybe Dems should have run the candidates members voted for, Bernie in 2016 and Biden in 2024. Both times the party powerful negated the vote of the members.

Margin creep - it always starts with a nibble at the nose

danfromdc.bsky.social•111 days ago

I think at this point everyone gets the reference and we can shorthand it as "face-ist" and "anti-faceist"

doobius.bsky.social•111 days ago

"Proudly face-ist" and "ostensibly anti-faceist but willing to compromise"

sugarcubedog.bsky.social•111 days ago

I’m with you on this.

Normalizing fascism is always where the money is and now it comes with serving power.

Maybe we should put leashes on the leopards party when

Don’t forget “Democrats have a moral imperative to continually present their faces for chewing”

If I've learned anything from the last election
1. you might be able to make a majority of Americans believe just about *anything*
2. but it's impossible to tell what they believe because polling is so broken
so you may as well try to do the right thing

Drives me crazy that Republicans can march in lockstep for seventy years on a number of issues despite many losses, but Dems are always willing to compromise on whatever they think is not politically safe because they have no firmly held convictions to keep fighting for.

OMG....I am turning into a person who gets their news through social media! (Actually, not..but I am down to PBS, NPR, Reuters, the Economist and the Atlantic)

miss-smirker.bsky.social•111 days ago

But what about eating the leopards faces?

sanho.bsky.social•111 days ago

At this point, our national flag should just be a leopard eating faces. Can someone get AI to do a Betsy Ross and make one?

drbethany.bsky.social•111 days ago

Ugh I'm tired of both, can some journalist somewhere come up with something new?

Enjoy your anti-leopards-eating-your-face echo chamber, bluesky

notimeforbs.bsky.social•111 days ago

Well, now you're just being unreasonable.

And I'll join you.

willjferr.bsky.social•111 days ago

Absolutely. We got to turn down the heat.

kim65.bsky.social•111 days ago

Turns out we were quite easy to convince.

Watching the mainstream media crumble to Trumpism is rather a coup de grace.

elisajstewart.bsky.social•111 days ago

I’m not sure the swing voters will understand until their face is eaten too. We tried to teach. We tried to tell. Now we watch the toll. And let them come to us.

eighthdayarts.bsky.social•111 days ago

They're out there, it's just taking a while to build that community to follow.

torven42.bsky.social•111 days ago

*Belch!*... Sorry...*nom nom*... could you say that again... *urp* I was a bit distracted...

mattcrwi.bsky.social•111 days ago

Bernie was right. We have to make populist promises. You can do that without treading on the law.
