Tumblr activists really be like "oh you were talking about black people let me just bring up other POC as some sort of gotcha." Like there ain't a lot of non black poc who are antiblack black and colorism aint a thing.

But go off I guess, "bestie."

TIL Henry us doing a Voltton movie?

I know it's kind of pointless to say this now but it just really clicked for me that the people responding to every Biden tweet with "do something about, you're the president!" who were often the same people whining about Biden "not using the bully pulpit" legitimately do not understand that an official statement from a president, or any elected official, in favor of a policy is an attempt to build support for that policy goal. I know these people don't understand how the government works and that the president cannot unilaterally do things (Trump is trying and if he succeeds it will be because the other two branches are filled with his supporters) but I don't think I quite realized that they do not understand that making official public statements is an early step in "doing something."

Obviously these people are too dumb to live and as a private citizen I'm not obligated to cater to them in any way but since elections tend to be decided by voters who are too dumb to live, politicians may need to start thinking about the fact that some of their voters can no longer comprehend basic political gestures.

Watching the Fourth Estate crumble after they sold out our democracy for clicks and because they feared MAGA more than they feared their liberal audience

R.I.P. Jimmy Carter

[bunnyduckcucumberpatch]

You could tell a lot of the leftist disdain for Ronald Reagan is performative because they didn't know the history of Reagan screwing over Jimmy Carter by undermining the Iran Hostage Crisis. Which made them so easily susceptible to falling for the exact same tactic Trump just pulled with Netanyahu and Hamas. Played them like a fucking fiddle. The modern Free Palestine movement would've elected Ronald Reagan.

We've all seen Matt Walsh and Ben Shapiro getting roasted by their own right-wing audiences for denouncing the United Healthcare shooting. It's always fun to watch leopards eat faces.

But make no mistake: there is no class solidarity in right-wing celebration of the United Healthcare shooting. They only hate the health insurance industry because it's hurt them personally. They might hate the rich, but that's never translated into solidarity with the non-white working class.

The right will never see the rich as their enemy. At worst, they see the rich as a misfiring weapon.

They hate it when the rich hurt them. They like it when the rich hurt YOU.

something interesting is happening

This is the end of economic populism in the US.

Say goodbye to the possibility of any economically populist president ever again. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris ran one of the most economically populist administrations in history. They forgave billions in student debt, invested in infrastructure to rural and Native American areas, marched with strikers, saved the Teamsters' pension, spent billions on climate-friendly industries, capped insulin prices, fought corporate price gouging, and more.

And the left, right, independents, and media all HATED it!

They mitigated inflation as much as possible with an economic soft-landing but inflation is an inherent part of progressive economic policy. If more people have more money, then businesses will charge more. The voters showed that they won't tolerate even a little inflation.

The left frequently complains that the Democrats are always moving right, but that's because when the Dems move left, they get attacked by the right while getting no support from the left.

Get ready for austerity. The next successful Democratic candidate will be the second coming of Bill Clinton (assuming we get any elections at all any more)

Do you condemn the Dec 24 grinch's attack on whoville?

Idk the story really. I know the grinch is green for some reason.

“I think what the Democratic elites and their politicians believe is often very different from what the average Democratic voter is,” said a Georgia man who voted for Biden in 2020 but Trump in 2024. “The elites that run the Democratic Party — I think they’re way too obsessed with appealing to these very far-left social progressivism that’s very popular on college campuses.”

When asked to compare the Democratic Party to an animal, one participant compared the party to an ostrich because “they’ve got their heads in the sand and are absolutely committed to their own ideas, even when they’re failing.” Another likened them to koalas, who “are complacent and lazy about getting policy wins that we really need.” Democrats, another said, are “not a friend of the working class anymore.” [...] “I think that there needs to be some parameters on what’s accepted in society and what isn’t. Some of the societal norms, and I think that the Democrats have tried to open that up a little too much,” said a woman from Wisconsin who also didn’t vote in 2024. When asked by the moderator if she was referring to the “trans issue,” the woman said, “primarily that.”

they won't tell you this in therapy but sometimes the best way to stop catastrophizing/anxiety is to interrupt your spiraling with "girl what the hell are you talking about"
