Interested in the intersection of politics and media. Old school liberal Dem incrementalist. GenX. Mostly learning and hitting that like button. I block a lot. No time to argue with misinformed attention-seekers, grifters, or their white knights.

Holy crap. After all the lectures, hot takes, comments about the future of the Dems, dire threats to elected Dems, endless clapback about Dems out of touch with the second coming of youths from pundits, press and very online posters, all over a mayoral race in one city, this is the correction? 🤣🤣🍸🍸🍸

I really don't get the Mamdani hysteria. If he wins, he'll neither be the vanguard of a new revolutionary left in America, nor a scary extremist as the right are painting him. My best guess is he'll be a liberal mayor constrained by the same forces as every other liberal mayor in the country.

They already are. Big accounts going all in on Dem bashing for what Republicans are doing. Maybe Gillibrand et al were just criticizing a fellow Dem to make him better. Isn't that what these chaos agents always say when using debunked talking points to bash Dems they obsessively hate?

Fact check time! Republicans are quite the creative bunch, working overtime to fool Americans into thinking their drastic, harmful cuts to healthcare aren’t as bad as everyone knows they are. Let’s look at Senator Budd’s thread and inject some truth, shall we?

Everybody dunking on this clown’s post is encouraging. But he has 12k followers. THAT’S the bigger problem.

I would like to apologize to Major Chuck Shoemore. It has come to my attention that 47 is less than 53. Apparently, this has been true for a long time. Maybe even forever. My bad! PS - I still think Senator Jeffery should resign from the Supreme Court and let AOC take over! - Informed Citizen

The left isn't beating that anti-Black reputation anytime soon. Every argument made why Dems need to be primaried (old, ineffective, out of touch, etc) does NOT APPLY to Lauren Underwood. But what does apply? Is Black woman.

Whoa!😳 This guy is challenging Underwood and says he’s running for Congress “to restore integrity, protect working families, and ensure every voice is heard -not just the wealthy or well-connected” WTF?!

I am sincerely lost trying to understand the definition of these labels people constantly apply to others. Liberal Leftist Centrist Corporate Dem Progressive And I really hate how tribal people are. Even ones who claim to be forward thinking and enlightened.

Add this to the list of ridiculous talking points, along with: Walz was told by DNC consultants to stop his “weird” rhetoric Joe Biden’s internal polling showed him losing to Trump Harris and Dems never talked about Project 2025 or tied it to Trump The DNC rigged the 2015 primary against Sanders

Every ResisTrash account I’ve seen demanding impeachment has admitted that it wouldn’t actually result in anything. But they want it anyway. In other words, strongly worded letters are ok. 🧐🤔

Here's a very partial list of what Dems have succeeded in getting excluded from the Big Ugly via Byrd Rule challenges. It makes the bill less-shitty and may create a delay Dems can use to exacerbate the unpopularity of the bill. www.emptywheel.net/2025/06/27/h...
