I won't lie, when I first heard about the killing I thought "UHC is evil". That's fucked, it's a bad way to think and not wwjd.

God help our spies abroad, I honestly think she might just expose them.

It's been this way since 2016, but previously it was only a few small groups fighting against the far left. We hid in r/neoliberal and ESS while they took over every corner of the Internet, audience captured every influencer, and further infiltrated back offices at every MSM org.

I googled the drama and just ended up on a LSF thread where everybody was saying "scratch a liberal" so not exactly a trustworthy group

Not looking for an echo chamber, don't mind if MAGAs are here as long as they're real people and get banned if they threaten violence. Just looking for a sane social media site that isn't being botted to hell to benefit it's owner, the richest man in the world.

I'm in an Arizona suburb, I literally couldn't survive being angry at all of my neighbors all the time

Yeah. I can't bring myself to hate half of the country anymore. It's just too tiring.
Tiny has a deep well of hatred and I respect him for that though.

Yes exactly. I'll accept any Republican who voted for Harris into the tent
comment in response to
post
When Tiny rants against "centrists" he's talking about the fake ones, Tim Pool, Lex, Rogan. Who always claim to be centrist but end up supporting Trump every time.
I hope there's still some room for actual centrists, aka people to the right of Harris who still voted for her. None of them in media

I could expand on this by saying, that if "political capital" as a concept does exist, it only exists in reference to the base of GOP primary voters.
comment in response to
post
Question, why do we still believe political capital is a real thing? The GOP controls all three branches of government, and they are doing every trick in the book at the state and federal levels to ensure minority control of the country indefinitely. What does it matter if people are angry?

This is me being hyperbolic, but I really think the play is obvious enough that the actual Dems would understand.
comment in response to
post
Serious question, what base? The left is divided into two parts, the performative Bernie wing, and the actual Democrats who want to win. One of these parts can't be counted on no matter who we nominate.

I also thought Harris would win, now I'm all in on Americans being stupid and TV brained. We can't have another smart lady in a pantsuit, we need a cool guy everybody already knows who's into sports and can talk shit

Oh no, a crude dgga, oh my.
For real, thanks. MMT nonsense is crazy enough to deserve a video of its own tbh

Oh wow you came prepared, I would love to read that. Thank you so much!

Oh I would love to find that episode. I've found a clip of Stewart platforming RFK jr and talking about vaccines and autism.
Yeah John Oliver is the worst of them, the most smug, the most blatant misinformation.

I think this will actually be a video when it's done

Also, this isn't a "Jon Stewart is a bad person" thing. I'm trying to point out why I think their messaging doesn't work with the younger generation.

Somewhat, yes. But as someone who watched a lot in the early 2000s, there was a clear shift when Obama came into the office, and the useless "Rally to restore sanity and/or fear" is when they fully transitioned imo

This election makes me want to stop sitting on the sidelines and start creating the kind of content that we're missing

"There are no safe and effective vaccines" isn't signal boosting, it's not even skepticism.

I thought this was obvious to everyone. He has no policy positions, he only demands loyalty.
comment in response to

That's one position to have I guess. Sucks for anybody who would pay on time and wants to build credit, to just take that tool away from them.
comment in response to
post
As usual, Bernie doesn't understand anything about economics. This would make credit completely unavailable to most people.
Yeah, it sucks when credit cards charge a lot of interest, but they do it because they're giving unsecured loans to people who are very likely to default.
