I think this is a miscalculation. 62% of Democrats want the leadership gone, the establishment Dems are splitting their vote between Adams and Cuomo, and nothing short of full-throated support of Israel will satisfy them anyway. There’s no point in appeasing an enemy that is weak, fractured, and belligerent. They pose no threat to him and he has little to gain from winning them over.
I mean, here’s a poll published 2 months later stating that Democrats want the party to be more progressive. Couple that with the fact that the 62% of Democrats want to throw the centrist leadership out on its ass and I’m not sure, “people want moderates, actually,” is a reasonable conclusion anymore.
This could be great for progressives. A lot of voters don’t pay attention during primaries and only vote for Democrats because they’re ostensibly left-wing. I can’t see someone like Elissa Slotkin having any viability when she’s not camping on the de facto progressive space.
Then again, have you seen reality?
Well, I wasn’t even thinking about that, but now I’ve got a whole new thing to be self-conscious about.
People are right in saying it’s context and consent, and it’s not completely gendered. Men’s swimsuits are basically just boxer shorts. Normally I’m not self-conscious about that, but a few months ago I signed up for a toddler swimming class with my son where I wound up being the only Dad, and suddenly I felt a bit exposed. I think the normalcy of walking around in nothing but a small pair of shorts kinda evaporated once I was the only man in the room.
Dear God, before you know it, the DNC will be some kind of meritocracy, where the most charismatic candidates with the most popular ideals win! The horror!
Filings list Wiener as a candidate in 2028, and since launching an exploratory committee in 2023, he’s repeatedly said he would never challenge the two-time former House speaker from San Francisco. However, if Pelosi decides not to seek another term next year — a real possibility for the 85-year-old — then Wiener could simply form a new committee for 2026 and transfer the campaign funds.
Well, that’s disappointing. The Democratic Party doesn’t need any more spineless cowards waiting their turn. If you don’t have the balls to tell an 85-year-old to retire, you don’t have the balls to stand up to fascism.
I mean, I feel like that one has some cascading effects that really fucked things up for pretty much everyone on the planet, so if you ever find yourself hurled back in time, you might consider it.
None of you said, “prevent 9/11.” For shame.
OK, so it sounds like they died out in the 70s?
I’m pushing 40 and I’ve only ever seen these in movies. I feel like they haven’t been in use since the 60s.
Well, if your plan is to defend you home from a fascistic government’s intrusion, you’ll be killed in a hail of gunfire. But if your plan is to take up arms against a fascistic government, you’ll be killed by predator drones the first time you step into the open.
I know it’s not rational, but the more fascistic the government gets, the less interested in gun control I am.
Yeah, it’s important to remember that Hogg has only talked about his desire to see younger voices, which doesn’t necessarily equate to progressive, and the only issue I know he has strong beliefs on is gun control. Thar doesn’t mean we shouldn’t give the DNC hell for the rat-fucking they have time, but we should be cautious in case he endorses any young Abundance Dems.
Yeah, I’m not happy about the Switch 2, but the amount of cope is unbelievable. I’ve seen multiple people claiming, “the Wii U sold out a launch too,” even though the Wii U sold worse than the Wii on opening weekend. The sales might still fall off a cliff in a month, but breaking the PS4’s record for launch sales is not a great sign.
Mine were always hooked up to our PC. A lot of Age of Empires 2 played through those things.
I don’t really see how. Trump could be playing it up a little to distract from the Medicare cuts, but I imagine he’s genuinely pissed about the Epstien thing. That probably played really badly with his base. There’s also no way Musk is doing this as a distraction; Telsa’s stock is imploding because of this.
I think you’re giving them too much credit. I’m pretty sure this really is just a senile old man feuding with a ketamine addict.
Shit, that’s a good one.
