Let me tell you a tale of how completely the normies have been mobilized. My 14 year-old niece has done School of Rock for the past 5 years; last summer she was part of their touring band, and the kids loved playing together so much that they decided to keep doing it. (1/?)

this started a holy war, so let me state a very plain and direct argument for this

the democratic primary is when we decide if we get to have things be good or mid

the general election is when you decide if you dislike nazis

He Wants to Deport 100 Million β€œThird World Savages.” He May Win Statewide Office in Texas. He calls his opponents β€œgay” and β€œretarded,” and he wants to deport 100 million β€œthird world savages.” Naturally, he’s running for railroad commissioner.

β€œWants to deport Native Americans” is a laugh line for some people but it’s also one of those cases where it is probably most important and not just a leftist gotcha to remember that that was the historical policy of the U.S. from its founding

So like, this is extremely close to explicitly saying Germans shouldn’t be ashamed of the Third Reich, right?

it was exactly as much cope as 'America's more robust intervention and managing of the subsequent inflation into the 'soft landing' will spare us the anti-incumbent backlash that's torn down other parties' whoops!

i think you can judge how free - or not - our political media is by the fact that elon musk literally did a sieg heil (twice) at a rally and it’s still seen as uncouth and overly partisan (in legacy media) to describe his politics as straightforwardly white supremacist.

Incredibly legislatively successful under the constraints of the filibuster tho. Probably the best Congress since the Great Society. And it didn’t matter because a bunch of dummies got convinced Biden was old and uncool and Trump might bring back the pre-COVID years.

I do think Hispanics in Texas are constantly sold being accepted as white if they vote Republican. I guess they're just now realizing that they would be purged too regardless.

I think to have any hope of accomplishing Zohran's campaign promises NYC DSA will have to change our orientation to Zohran substantially. There is no sign that DSA is "co-governing" with Zohran, time to treat him like a politician and apply pressure.

something striking in reporting this is that with every choice Mamdani has made that DSA members are privately let down by, they're still giving him a public pass -- including Hochul endorsement, appointing Tisch, and now this on the "Tax the Rich" rally
