How you respond to the Nazi tattoo candidate is how you would have responded to "grab them by the pussy" if you were a Republican.
May 27
Democrats have spent the last ten years bemoaning the evilness of Republicans who acknowledge Trump's flaws, but support him anyway because "the alternative [ie, the other side being in power] is worse."
Then along comes misogynistic racist Nazi tattoo guy, and every single Democratic politician is obligated by the base to support him because... drumroll.... "the alternative [ie, the other side being in power] is worse."

I guess this is an “own” but idk why Schlossberg would be worried anyway. The Fight agency helped elect the most pro-Israel senator in America!

This lady is like the perfect caricature of what every median voter negatively associates with Dems. Just her look alone...weird, over-academic, off-putting. Privileged failed artist, complaining about how unfair the world is.
The ideal DSA candidate.

Art can't be a luxury made by and for the few. But the cost of living has made it impossible for so many New Yorkers to create the culture that makes this city beautiful.
I joined Mayor @ZohranKMamdani at MoMA PS1 to talk about my journey in the arts and keeping NYC vibrant.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but a starving artists who doesn’t want to work full time but wants to live in gentrified Brooklyn is not a sympathetic person to make a cost of living argument with.
I’m in favor of public subsidies for the arts, but the main thing that would allow more people to make ends meet as struggling artists is reducing the cost of living.

In fact I would argue part of Peltola’s success is that she DOESN’T spend her time attacking her own party. “Democrats suck vote for me, a Democrat” is not a very persuasive message and it’s frustrating so many people running for office think so.
Jun 12
I like Peltola a lot. She shows how you can be a progressive Democrat and not have to resort to attacking your own party, even in a red state

There’s a lot to this but I really dislike the “addiction” framing for behaviors, no matter how self destructive and compulsive. Addiction should only apply to substances that cause a physiological withdrawal effect outside of the brain (alcohol, cigarettes, heroin and such.)

Nothing Graham Platner has been accused of is worse than anything Warnock, Biden, and (especially) Bill Clinton have been accused of.
It's about ideology. Nothing more. If Graham Platner was a Reasonable Centrist the mainstream media wouldn't be gunning for him.

At least Platner is getting all of the real piece of shit leftists to out themselves, I guess.

Someone should put together an organization for survivors of consensual affairs with Graham Platner. The man has done a lot of harm, and I think we would all benefit from more of his consensual victims describing their views on his penis size and the noises he made during sex.

I wish the Democratic Party would defend its incumbents against the onslaught of Bernie’s DSA.
For all their talk about dark money, the DSA spends millions to unseat dedicated Democrats like Dan Goldman, and Democrats refuse to step up to defend their own.

Among many other aspects of the online fandom and defenses of Graham Platner, it's impossible to miss the extremely obvious sexual undertones that come almost exclusively from the men who defend him the loudest
Jun 12
Ken Klippenstein called all of Graham Platner's critics "smoothgroins," but that's just a fancy way of saying we're all virgins and Platner's a Chad. If you know what any of this means, you're way too online. If not, read on.

Dude is BIG MAD that someone said the Senate candidate who gives him a vicarious thrill with his manly manliness actually has a tiny dick.

And Magdi goes silent. Lol. Predictable, given our prior interactions. I joke around, but throwing around the kinds of accusations you're throwing around -- and based on nothing -- takes a lot of gall.

I could generously excuse mistaken facts as things that just happen and you can't expect not to, but some of the justifications offered up ("he was in the tent that wasn't his first") are so insane it's genuinely hard to believe people are actually serious about them .
Karmelo Anthony discourse marks a new nadir not even fully realized in 2020. Any society that would indulge that as self-defense is one you need to exit immediately.

This guy has a Trumpian level of self-regard. He really thinks that he is important enough to get on the celebrity jumbotron at the NBA Finals. Truly delusional.
Hasan talks about his $6,500 seats at Madison Square Garden and the opportunity to watch NBA history be made.
"We dumped money... seats weren't great, it was a weird angle"
He then expresses disappointment about not being mentioned in the jumbotron's list of celebrities.

Dems need to throw the anti-trust weirdos overboard. They botched several cases and it doesn't even move votes. I know we need to "expand" the tent, but those people are dead weight.

They see Graham Platner as the victim and the women that have come forward as a joke worthy of being mocked.
Platner isn’t on a redemption arc. He’s a martyr for leftist creeps.

Liquidate the kulaks, but redistribute the assets to “pregnant women”, not “birthing parents”
Almost 20 years on, the right hasn’t figured out that spending 8 years calling America’s favorite 21st century president a “socialist” just ended up being great branding for socialism
Jun 12
Its obvious at this point that Dem voters want the party to move to the cultural middle on immigration/crime/wokespeak while also supporting levels of confiscatory taxation on the wealthy that it will make WSJ ed board readers contemplate fleeing to Thiel's Argentina compound

Progressives hate standardized tests because they reveal how much their policies have failed smart poor people. Rich people hate standardized tests because they reveal which of their kids are mediocre.

America has been getting better for everyone, but Bernie and Stoller types are enraged that it got moar better for a lucky few.
But most normal people don’t care much if someone 2,000 miles away has it good, they like getting anything delivered to their door.
