  1. Casting the intentional starvation of tens of thousands of people as the greatest humanitarian effort since the Berlin airlift is simply evil. Pure fucking evil. The type of evil that makes one hope hell is a real place where people who do such evil will suffer for eternity.
  2. Trump is going to be extorting college players for bribes to let them keep their NIL money.
  3. Is ChatGPT even fucking up people's ability to post? Is that how bad things are getting?
  4. It’s some truly pathetic behavior isn’t it? Rex, go see a fucking therapist.
  5. So Rex is getting divorced, huh?
  6. Interrupting nazis is good. Preferably with fists.
  7. I find it very funny how you constantly play the reasonable maybe-not-even-a-conservative-anymore, then your proposed solutions are always like "everyone left of the nazis should split instead of unify against the nazis."
  8. I'm sure statsman will be along to tell us that kid was Hamas. Or maybe the IDF who shot him are secretly Hamas. Or maybe the Green Beret who witnessed it is Hamas.
  9. So we're well into this was/is an active cover-up at this point. The only real question remaining is whether they're covering up a murder or their own incompetence.
  10. Stassney felt something funny in his pants when he saw a trans woman and now we’ve all got to deal with his anxiety over it, apparently.
  11. "The real way to get voters to like me and my party are to go on the nazi pedophile's show and tell him and his audience that they're right that actually it's Democratic base voters who are the real anti-Semites!" This is how one of the party's supposed stars thinks.
  12. Meanwhile... What a fucking idiot. The way the more pro-Israel members of the party have messaged on Israel and anti-Semitism is just beyond fucking stupid.
  13. Egalitarianism is a strong, motivating ideological force. Tens if not hundreds of millions of people in human history have fought for it and millions have died for it. Nobody is willing to fight and die for "Ok what we need is to pull 57% of white voters with college degrees, at least 85% of the black vote, at least 60% of the latino vote, and we checked the math and we want the gay vote but also the anti-trans vote" triangulating.
  14. I'm sure tornado alley will really enjoy the shittier warnings and complete lack of any disaster response over the next few years.
  15. It's bad enough when it's Gen X or Boomers, but people who just went through school thinking this is at all how anything at school works are just the absolute dumbest people on earth.
  16. Knockout games? You sure you’re talking about babysitters and not 60 year old Fox News watchers in 2014?
  17. I love how multiple posters have proposed several good ideas then tossed in “balance the budget.” Guys, it has no political salience at all and it’s bad policy to boot.
  18. These people are all depraved freaks and more of us should say so.
  19. This has been explained several times in this thread.
  20. Those are shitty terms. Why does it have to be the first thing I tell them? I might as well say you've got to tell them you think this guy has some decent points: You and I are both saying they need to be able to message both social and material issues. I don't think you even disagree with the emphasis I've placed on the importance of fighting for social issues, so much as the exact wording I used in one post. You damned well know my point isn't that we've got to convert every voter to being 100% pro trans in their hearts, my point is that retreating from the political debate on social issues is ineffective and surrenders ground on issues we can and should actually be on the popular side of.
  21. That gets into a bunch of self-identification stuff, but for these purposes if you've vehemently against Trump and the modern GOP, I don't really consider that in "the middle." In terms of political strategy, Dems don't need to worry about trying to win your vote any more than they need to worry about trying to win mine.
  22. Voters in the middle are people who don't know what they want or believe and are easily swayed to go with whoever is more popular and/or seems more mainstream. Ironically, it has been Democrats' attempts to avoid culture war issues (which have required them to pre-emptively surrender on them and concede that Republicans are on the right side of them) that has cost them with these voters.
  23. There are some things the GOP did that can't really be effectively copied from another angle, but I think their approach to media can. Dems need to build up a partisan media outlet (and appurtenant popular cultural commentary) and mercilessly attack the mainstream media for its bias. We need more people to see the mainstream media as owned and controlled by Republican-aligned interests, which should be doable because that's actually the truth and there is a ton of supporting evidence.
