a not insignificant portion of latino electorate never forgave her for this bullshit, like me for example

it is really funny that Kamala Harris is reduced to a cheap copy of all of that “Hilary warned us” brainrot tbh. got anything that doesn’t suck?

They will ignore him and talk about Platner like he did Lucanamarca checkmate leftists

platner is being pushed by people like the pod johns and yglesias because he's going to get obliterated in the general election and discredit the left

Geordi, no!! You want Chicago hardbop! You don't even know it, but thats what you need, Geordi!

Spider Man saying "that's a cute opinion, did Jeffrey Epstein give it to you?"

how it feels taking public transit rn

people who insist that trump is the whole problem are super dangerous because they will prevent us from addressing root causes

Vote Blue, but maybe check their tattoos

shut the fuck up

what’s extra terrifying right now is the knowledge that there’s just no backstop at all

we are locked in a box with a madman for another three years and there’s absolutely nothing that he can do to make his own party take the keys away and so the madness continues

it doesn’t feel sustainable, but…

the laura palmer smile of doom

everything about this

Babylon 5, Londo Mollari (a human-looking alien in formal clothes with a strange crest of hair) saying: "Only an idiot fights a war on two fronts. Only the heir to the throne of the kingdom of idiots would fight a war on twelve fronts."

Surprised more people haven't pointed out that Trump has gone full Hitler at this point. He's invading bombing and massacring multiple nations at once

Chat, if the legislature cannot legislate the rule of law into existence, and the courts cannot order the rule of law into existence—whence the rule of law?

bbbbbut I thought political power flows from the consent of the governed!

MAO: Listen, kid...

They will use gimcrack AI to replace as many people as they can and offshore every job they can. They have already decided that Americans make too much money and have too many luxuries and ask for too much. They’re fine with taking their money and living in compounds in a poorer country.

Hahahahahahaha

Panel 1: Shen is keeled over a chess board in his chair at the park, sweating and gritting his teeth. He thinks "NO! I'M GONNA LOSE!! I'M... FALLING INTO DESPAIR..." Panel 2: It shows the chess board, with Shen's clenched fist on it. Shen is playing the white pieces, and his king is on H1 somehow behind 2 rows of 4 pawns. The black king is on B7 and the black queen on D8 threatens checkmate. Panel 3: A bishop comes in from off the board and takes out the black queen. Panel 4: Overly realistic depicting of Shen dramatically beginning to look over his shoulder, into the light. Panel 5: There's a person diagonal from him behind him with a chess board with just the white pieces set up. He has a confident smile. Sunbeams come down behind him and the wind blows the grass gently. Panel 6: Closeup of that person giving a thumbs up as the beginning of the song "Rap is a Man's Soul!" from Gurren Lagann begins to come on, with the lyrics "do the impossible, see the invisible..." The sun is producing a glare reflection off of his thumb somehow. He had moved his D2 pawn forward to D3 to line up the bishop.

But Matthew Yglesias said by condemning Platner the left was just not taking real white working class Nazis seriously? Matthew Yglesias! The lone voice of reason in America!

it's not "dooming" to doubt that the alleged opposition party will grant all your wishes when they retake the legislative majority

It was never good to begin with. These things only work because they've set up sweat shops in Africa to watch the feeds and get it working. Mechanical Turk glasses

IT CALLED ITSELF MECHAHITLER. I FEEL LIKE EVERYBODY MAYBE MOVED PAST THE MECHAHITLER THING TOO QUICKLY.

Hi. I'm Matthew "Yggy" Yglesias. The content of all of my posts can be summed up with a not-Christian-but-Church-radio-safe band doing an awful jangle pop cover of Fear's "Let's Have a War". Everyone love me or you're bad

"You don't understand. Platner is Smoochy. Have you ever seen Death to Smoochy? The online left needs to stop looking for a Rainbow Randolph moment"

By next week I fully expect we'll hear about Graham Platner being at a Klan rally and we'll get a hundred think pieces calling it "a Rainbow Randolph situation"
