on the bright side, i was dreading his inevitable run for president and now he's torpedoed himself into oblivion. i don't think he can come back from this in a viable way unless he takes out elon musk with his bare hands, and even then i think he'd only gain a couple points back.

a liberal doing a boycott or a leftist doing a sit in or non violent occupation of a building all get called terrorists, a conservative shooting people or running them down with their car or blowing up a building is defined as let's not talk about that too much more of them might kill people

Gavin Newsom’s podcast is a clear example of how establishment Dems can fail to challenge the modern right while amplifying its conspiracies and bigotry. They radicalize themselves and their audiences in the process spitfirenews.com/p/gavin-news...

This is why dedicating your show to trying to de-platform the only large sized political streamer saying 'Free Palestine' at a time like now is just doing the work of the far right for them

wasn't just some guy. was the opposition leader Lee Jae-myung, who lost to the incumbent (and impeached) president in the most recent election, who is physically disabled from a factory accident. no personal security despite being stabbed a year ago. absolute gigachad

I hope it's finally clear to normal liberals the core motivation of Democratic leadership is placating Republicans to avoid being uncomfortable at work

Think about that 60-some-year-old South Korean senator who was literally climbing over walls to vote for impeachment as martial law was imposed in the country and then looking at…. Chuck Schumer.

equal parts hilarious and frustrating that normies are only just figuring out how useless democratic leadership is when progressives have been out here forever telling them exactly that. better late than never, i guess. hope they get their asses out there and make up for lost time.

i know this is the electoral college's fault but it's exhausting watching politicians treat rural america like they're the only ones that matter. they take for granted that people in cities need things too and there are more of us. our cost of living is higher. our mayors are frequently very shitty.
