if, ten years ago, your entire understanding of politics was that the right wing wanted to destroy everything because they were evil, you had a more accurate and more predictive analysis than functionally the entire American media and political apparatus

Our elite institutions spent decades selecting against anyone with integrity, opting instead for shameless pole-climbing where the prize was the adulation of other pole-climbers. Is it any wonder that universities, media outlets and government offices full of Tom Wombsgams's can't meet this moment?

Every single liberal who is solely blames the voters for Harris losing believes: 1) There are acceptable levels of genocide. 2) As long as they're ok everything is ok. 3) The Overton Window moving even slightly left is the worst possible outcome. Worse than Musk/Trump and fascism.

1/🧵 Judges across ideological lines are ruling against Trump at strikingly similar rates (84% liberal, 86% centrist, 82% conservative). This isn't partisan opposition to Trump—it's the judiciary functioning as intended by cutting across partisan lines to uphold the Constitution.

With the caveat that I also think Schumer sucks, the Democratic Party needs a new figurehead position called like "Opposition Tsar" or something. This person may or may not be an elected official, but we can't just thrust the highest ranking Democrat into that role and expect them to thrive.

Much like Chuck Schumer likes to think about politics via an imaginary Boomer couple that are somehow still 40 years old, I am conjuring a young, low-info White man in my head. His name is Chad. His Nissan Altima smells like cigarettes and the Check Engine light is on. He thinks he'll be in the UFC.

The most politically conflicted I'll ever feel is if Trump pardons Edward Snowden. On one hand, a decade of exile in Russia has turned him into a Putin stooge at the very best. But on the other, every minute of the Trump presidency proves how right he was to warn us about NSA surveillance.

The reason I say that leftist groups are a major impediment to ending the housing crisis is that I have spoken to many members of Marxist/leftist/anti-capitalist orgs and they're personally 90% on board. But then, word comes from some official leftist group about a bill and they line up against it.

"With the big news exclusive that elections are cancelled indefinitely, Trump delivered a big smackdown to Democrats' chances of retaking the House in 2026. Will this hurt him with undecideds like last week's decision to shoot unarmed protestors? We're calling balls and strikes here on DC Insider!"

I have one pal who works pretty close with national Democratic figures and the other week, he told me that the thinking in the party is that it's good California and New York are losing people because they're sending Democratic voters to swing states. If this is true, we're irredeemably boned.

The welfare state is a capitalist invention that was created to offset the inherent chaos brought on by (1) allowing private interests to control society's means of production, which required (2) the privatization of land/nature and (3) turning the working masses into commodities to be sold and

It's not often that you get as concise a portrait of total failure and malevolence as Chuck Schumer's been giving us over the past few days. He is the walking embodiment of the collaborationist catastrophe that is the current Democratic Party. www.discourseblog.com/p/fuck-schumer

It's great people are doing this. But my goodness, it's disgraceful they're having to turn up and protest to get the leader of the opposition in the Senate to vote in opposition to fascism. They have to do this to get try and get Schumer to press the right button twice.

How brain dead do you have to be to look at the last 30 years of politics in the US and elsewhere and conclude that what voters really want are politicians who at their core believe in nothing and consider everything - including you, personally - negotiable in the quest to win The Center.
