I have no interest in ICP musically, but the more I learn about the culture and the people, the more I respect them. This is the objectively right answer. And it's true for all of us, "I used to suck. I hope I suck less now. I hope I suck even less tomorrow."

It means what it has always meant in American Politics: The Comfort of Upper Middle Class White Suburbanites.

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.

Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

It's also hard to overestimate how much fear of uncertainty drives certain people---that's actually a large part of MAGA's appeal: Make America Simple Again might actually be more accurate.

This is true. But he hurts his own cause by being thin skinned about even legit criticism

You don't even need to go that far back. The media lost it's collective mind for a week when Biden (who wasn't even a candidate) *might* have said something mildly derogatory about MAGA voters.

How is it worse to say some people in the GOP are deplorable? Deplorable is worse than violent criminal? Someone should count all the articles that were published about Clinton's comment and compare them with coverage of this and similar remarks.

An important message to the people of New York City.

this really does sum it up. Will would be so much more effective if his ego didn't get in the way.

This isn’t the whole story, of course – but if it’s not at the core of your story, you’re on the wrong track.

Add “Once democracy made it possible for women to threaten patriarchal domination and for queer people to publicly affirm their identity” – and we’re already very, very close.

Because Will made a good point in a terrible way. And yes, his haters jumped on that. And rather than admit his original phrasing was a mistake he's playing the victim card and making his ego the story. So you know, typical Bluesky tempest in a teapot.

Dude, I've been following you for a while, you routinely conflate the two. Also at least for me, it didn't seem ambiguous aside from the "I know he can be bombastic, but he can't actually mean that" way. You screwed up. It was an honest mistake, but stop blaming your haters, real though they are.

You have irrational haters, to be sure. You are also thin-skinned and really bad at taking good-faith criticism. Your first phrasing was bad, full stop. I can accept that's not what you meant, but it's certainly what I heard. And your refusal to accept that only made you sound disingenuous.

Wait, liberals who care about politics won't pay for a conservative paper trying to pretend to be above politics? WHO COULD'VE SEEN THAT COMING?

No. Denying them control over truth is the most important thing you can do to resist fascism. Read your Orwell and take your defeatism elsewhere.

*sigh* Yep, it's almost like Black voters have a history of pragmatism and voting for the best candidate who could win or something....

That is simultaneously too cynical and not cynical enough. I think it's more likely that, unlike almost anyone else in the GOP, she believes the crazy BS she spouts, so she has a bizarre kind of genuine integrity.

It's a decent litmus test. People who publicly feel entitled to endorsements (with a few exceptions) should be a red flag. (former ticketmates are the exception, but even then whining publicly is kinda pathetic. Obama did Biden dirty, but Joe never whined)

2nd person impersonal. y'all being the "Primary Electorate"

Malcolm Kenyatta and Black People tried to warn y'all on Fetterman. White Progressives didn't wanna hear it though...

Malcolm Kenyatta was right there as well. Black Progressives tried to warn y'all about Fetterman, y'all didn't wanna listen.

This is why SCOTUS can't clam legitimacy right now

I think MTG is insane, but like honestly insane, so just doesn't have an Eff to give if you like what she's saying. (Also if you think Trump isn't going to turn on Johnson the moment it serves his needs to blame this all on him?)

You know what's annoying. I saw the typo, deleted the c AND THEN APPARENTLY TYPED IT BACK. I prefer not to think about what, if anything, that says about my psyche.

Bondi (Internal Monologue): I can either perjure myself or admit a shameless disrespect for even pretending to follow the law. I choose option C

I don't see how thic could possibly end badly

A "fact" that has been used to justify 2000 years of oppression and violence. I used to use "Pharisees" too--but people were like "whoa, dude that hurts." And when someone says "This thing hurts me" you should stop doing the thing. Especially when you have a painless alternative.

Respectfully, those of us outside of DC understand the assignment. When is the Democratic Caucus in Congress gonna step up and stop treating him as legitimate?

According to the President of the United States, I'm an "animal" who needs to be "quell"ed by the US Military (but not by women or POC soldiers, per SecDef's wishes). So I have that going for me??
