btw I am watching the brogressive side of the left. they treated Kamala like absolute garbage in 2020 and I HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN. But AOC being the only bitch in the House that I respect (tm New York) and the way they've largely reacted so far has been kind of awesome

I think people need to give people a chance to show who they are NOW, too. in 2020 my top pick was Gillibrand, who got railroaded by brogressives for being CORRECT that Al Franken (8 credible accusers!!) didn't belong in the Senate. Then my next choice was Kamala, and leftists were WRETCHED to her. Your usual parade of people who get all their political knowledge from their pals social media posts and don't pay actual close attention to news and current events as a whole. Then my next choice was Warren, who got treated like garbage for the sin of not immediately capitulated to Bernie Sanders. And I'll never forgive or forget how Hillary "I was right about everything I warned y'all about re: Trump" Clinton was treated by the so-called progressive side. Not even touching on how Joe "Most effective and consequential POTUS since LBJ" Biden was treated because this post mostly about wariness at how leftists treat women candidates. Which is historically Bad. But you gotta give people a chance. Biden was like... my 14th out of 17th choice in 2020 (mostly because i felt the field was great, Bloomberg and Yang notwithstanding) and he ended up being SO GOOD at President.

In hindsight, especially given how much as someone on Medicare/SSDI in the bottom quintile has seen real actual life improvements under Biden, I should have given him more of a chance then. I was enthusiastically for him once it became clear he was the nominee, but he absolutely exceeded my expectations, and it is my hope that Kamala, who I already have high expectations from, will also exceed them. She has been learning the job under Joe Biden, after all. I'm looking forward to seeing how she does.

The GameCube component cable is so expensive because it also secretly supported outputting video in 480b resolution; the first recorded usage of the Brogressive Scan standard

So I use to follow r/brogress and this before and after has been living rent free in my mind for the last 3 years, I absolutely love it (and him) 😭🥰😇

I started a cut back in April and this shit is way harder than bulking. "Just eat less, lol" what if I stab you instead?

I was on this podcast episode talking about gender in politics, coalition dynamics, and watch it on Spotify so you can see my very expressive face.

Joe Rogan declared that it was a "fact" that Jan6 was a "False Flag" event and just.... whatever fuck him that pumped up hobbit. But I keep thinking about how Bernie turned his WHOLE campaign to focus on Rogan saying something nice about him like it was an endorsement from idk who, God? and then defended the move and Rogan himself when even the most loyal Bernie foot soldiers, who weren't white men, felt uncomfortable with it

Bernie will never say "sorry" even if Rogan goes full Q-anon, and I suspect the warning of that moment, that the Progressive (brogressive) leftist movement is dangerously in love with white male grievance politics, will never be owned by the young people who worshiped Bernie

It’s the coding - all that economic stuff can be cover for “white ‘working-class’ men should be doing better”. It’s the same kind of shit Richard Reeves and ilk pull, except in that latter case it’s glossed up and less populist-sounding. Ish.

[hbbisenieks]

thinking again about the time in 2020 that I posted about how not voting if you had the ability to was the height of privilege and then got brigaded by a brogressive asshole I knew and his gang of idiot online leftist friends who all came in to misgender me and tell me how I was privileged and stupid for imploring people to vote for the harm reduction candidate instead of the orange Nazi

Anti-voting rhetoric will be the death of the left. Literally.

Not a single fucking Republican voted to protect roe. It was fucking overturned in the first place bc trump got three Supreme Court appointments.

Every fucking thing wrong in this country is almost certainly the result of Republicans being in power. In 2020, Texas cut half of the polling places in black neighborhoods, and doubled them in white ones, regardless of population. It was Republicans bitching about mail in voting, and constantly, constantly fearmonger about voter fraud. Literally, their platform is about making civil rights harder to practice.

Would you like to know why? It’s because Republican politicians know better than anyone that higher voter participation means higher republican loss.

But what do I see from the online left, champions of the oppressed?

“Voting doesn’t do anything, the parties are the same, the system is rigged, etc, etc”

Don’t sit here and tell me you give a fuck about marginalized people if you aren’t ready to march your ass to the voting booth and vote out the party actively stripping their rights away.

Protest, donate, community build, unionize, and vote, vote, vote.

By the time direct action is the only option, it will be too fucking late.

Proud of my brogress!!!!

A progress update to celebrate hitting 200 lbs for the first time in my life. And assuming the (suspiciously linear) trend line from early 2021 holds, I'm looking forward to becoming 300 lbs of pure, unstoppable muscle on January 26th, 2031.

The politically illiterate leftier-than-thou can never be wrong. The have to twist themselves into knots to blame Hillary - and now, Biden - for every bad thing their actions in 2016 enabled and empowered the Republicans to bring about. And they're set to do it again in 2024.

Heaven forbid the Brogressives engage in some self-reflection and take responsibility for the outcome of their own actions.

after roe v wade got overturned under biden (a constitutional right we had for FIFTY years) i don’t believe any of the goofy “biden is better for domestic issues” rhetoric . you are lying to me and you are lying to yourself

Big plans for 2018!! I’m running a #Ragnar in May, and I’m going to be focusing on flexibility and fat loss, all while continuing to lift.
