  • We have descended into fascism because of 40 years of neoliberal politics. The ethos that the Clinton’s ushered in, which seemed so refreshing at the time, cultivated a party that stands for nothing, has not, and will not push back against fascism meaningfully.

    Purity testing didn’t do all that. Terrible policy and terrible politics did.

    You got anything substantive to contribute?

  • I just don’t understand the logic behind deriding ‘purity tests’. Like, isn’t a purity test just the same thing as voting for the candidate you prefer? Isn’t that what democracy is all about? One might think that a political party would embody its namesake, but alas.

    I suppose holding our candidates to standards and actually fighting for things seems strange to people who hold no ideals, and have no principals other than self empowerment. This has certainly been the nature of Democratic Party leadership for at least 40 years. I suppose I understand their motivation for adopting such a nihilistic and destructive worldview. After all, they are the ones that are being enriched by it. What I don’t understand is why constituents like you adopt it. You’re getting nothing but an ever eroding quality of life as a result. Very strange.

  • I’m sure having even lower standards for the party’s candidates will surely lead to victory some day. How dare anyone actually take principled stands on anything important.

  • Ignorance is BS: speaker’s stock answer on Trump’s misdeeds is ‘I don’t know’

  • Sorry to be petty, but I just cannot get over the way Mike Johnson looks in every photograph. He looks like an implausibly on-the-nose caricature of a pederast. He looks like the kind of dude who sews a hole in his pants pocket so he can touch himself during meetings. He looks like he’s constantly coated in flop sweat and distracted by the possibility that someone’s going to discover the kiddie porn dungeon at his house. That guy is just fuckin’ weird. Sorry, but the photo on this post just sent me over the edge.

  • Democratic governors say the party's midterm strategy must focus on voters' pocketbook concerns

    Jump

  • Hey democrats, you know what would be even more effective? If your platform, and policy positions, and rhetoric, and voting record, and legislation actually addressed these issues beyond just whatever the next election is.

  • A Journalist Reported From Palestine. YouTube Deleted His Account Claiming He’s an Iranian Agent.

  • Can I ask a dumb question? Even if this was true and for the sake of argument we assume that the dude is an Iranian propagandist of some kind, so what? Why does that justify removing the account?

  • Trump Makes Weird Bid to Turn His Birthday Into a Holiday

  • Can we just fast forward to the part where we find out where they buried him so I can go relieve myself there?

  • Gavin Newsom opposes California ‘billionaire tax’ as he eyes 2028 White House bid

    Jump

  • I really hope that Democrats are starting to realize that corporate captured performance artists like Gavin Newsom are why we have been lurching rightward into fascism for 40+ years. They are why there’s been no meaningful opposition. Newsome doesn’t believe in anything beyond a vague allegiance to capital interests and his own career advancement. Sometimes that ethos will cause him to say some good things, and sometimes he’ll do the opposite. But, he’ll never, ever meaningfully change anything at all.

    The best case scenario with a Newsom presidency is that he will preside over a temporary slowing of the collapse, while sowing the seeds of further escalation by the white-identity, religious authoritarian dominionists that are flourishing under trump. Democrats, Americans, and the world deserve much more than him.

  • Venezuela calls Trump airspace closure warning 'colonialist threat'

    Jump

  • I’m old enough to remember when trump would pretend to be opposed to foreign military adventures. He literally built his political career on shitting on the neocons that launched us into illegal wars like what we did in Iraq.

  • The GOP’s War on Naturalized Citizens’ Right to Vote

  • Spoiler alert:

    The Republican goal isn’t to stop immigrants from voting. Ultimately they want to stop brown people from voting.

  • AI Slop Recipes Are Taking Over the Internet — And Thanksgiving Dinner | Food bloggers see traffic dip as home cooks turn to AI, inspired by impossible pictures

  • Let me take this opportunity to complain about online recipes these days. Everything is inflated with a ridiculous volume of unwanted fluff content that makes the recipes more difficult to use.

    Like, I just want to know the ingredients for Beef Stroganoff and in what order to assemble them. What I get is a book that starts with, “Beef Stroganoff started as the ancestral celebration meal for peasant steppe farmers…yadda…yadda…yadda.”

  • So, is his slobbering obedience not outweighing his rank incompetence anymore?

  • Flashback: International campaign is criminalizing criticism of Israel as ‘antisemitism’

    Jump

  • The irony, of course, is that by diluting the definition of antisemitism, they are working to facilitate more actual antisemitism around the world. It really lays bare their ideology, which has nothing to do with the safety and well being of Jews internationally. It is only concerned with the preservation of their fascist identitiarian state which, by the way, benefits from a world in which Jews are in more danger everywhere else. This isn’t a Jewish movement, it’s a fascist movement. It’s wholly gross and should be called out at every opportunity mostly because it promotes violence against not just their stated outgroup, the Palestinians, but also Jews around the world.
