Impassionata D'Internet

I'm not saying the government hasn't collapsed into lawless oligarchy, I am saying that the boomers have failed to act appropriately to the urgency of the situation and YOUR FEELINGS ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM.

GET THEM THE FUCK OUT. NOW.

shut the fuck up. you are incoherent. the problem is old people making bad decisions. solving that problem is straightforward, and if it hurts your feelings shut the fuck up about your feelings

yours is the generation that has failed to handle it and must resign immediately in disgrace

what?

Keep the government shut down until all the old people are cleared out

wow your nihilism has you down

it's ok buddy, today we made a difference. today 7 million people showed up to say "we'll crush you if it comes to that." the military won't obey Trump's illegal orders and he'll be deposed for being an old loser

you can tell the maga losers are afraid when they spam the joy emote

The boomers lost the capacity to respect themselves and others, and you got trained into mimicking degeneracy.

you're running out of excuses for having joined the nazification of the Republicans under an autocratic tyrant whose hatred and violence are out of control.

Nothing you can say will change the fact that Trump is divisive poison.

Betray Trump before more people die.

political nihilism wasn't made cool by social media, cynicism defined Gen X politics.

Your only job today is to drive turnout at the protests.

aella isn't a fascist she's just part of a constellation of midwit autists who are ignoring the fascism on idiot principles. you're not a fascist, you just mindlessly repeat trump memes.

you've been infected with pseudofascism

stop huffing boomer farts

that's because unemployment numbers are smudged badly tbh

KEEP CONGRESS SHUT DOWN UNTIL THE GERIATRICS HAVE BEEN PUSHED OUT.

Just state your objective facts harder. Just say them more. If you just say them more people will decide to vote Democrat because they like how you're objectively correct.

Nerds are the fucking worst at politics. On both sides.

What? I'm not spreading misinformation, I'm saying stating objective facts about the economy is stupid politics.

It wasn't necessarily the best phrasing to be honest.

At the best of times politics is more about feelings than policies.
Yes it's a problem that fascism means the republicans fabricate pretext for insurrection because they're lawless thugs.

But pretending the economy was fine was a mistake.

so like

shut the fuck up please.

I was paying attention to Biden saying that it was OBJECTIVELY THE BEST ECONOMY EVER AFTER COVID (not his exact words) and THIS WAS NOT THE CORRECT THING TO SAY WHEN PEOPLE WERE OBJECTIVELY FEELING FINANCIAL DURESS.

I was playing attention to Biden boasting about how the infrastructure bill was good for the economy, an ARGUMENT which was LOGICALLY VALID and also BORING and therefore STUPID.

I was paying attention to Harris' campaign, and she did her best to bring economic policy promises, in an anemic democrat way. Same way she loosely tried to posture as willing to be tough on immigration.

he is STILL POUNDING THE TABLE ABOUT OBJECTIVE FACTS

which DO NOT MATTER.

Maybe not but I definitely believe Will Stancil is picking STUPID POINTLESS FIGHTS.

right. but rank and file democrats all around me were going "bwah? how could people think the economy is bad? it's objectively good!" and I was like "oh god these people are out of touch."

and it's a failure of the democrats that their message didn't carry, and it's a failure that occurred because they thought objective facts about the economy and bills passed were a good electoral strategy.

idk I'm just saying that if you struggle to understand why Democrat messaging on the economy failed to entice voters, you literally aren't paying attention to how much the perception of the economy sucking matters more than facts about the economy

bro it actually matters that Biden's America didn't make people feel financially secure, and Biden trumpeting how well the economy was doing made the Democrats seem like liars. Yes it's a problem that people "believe their own facts" but inflation really hurt and Dem messaging sucked.

I am only pointing to the difference between feelings and facts about the economy. No amount of objective facts about the economy matter and the delusion of Democrats is thinking that if they make factual arguments, somehow people will like them.

I know a lot of rank and file democrats who were perpetually confused that people could believe the economy wasn't doing well because FOR DEMOCRATS WITH GOOD JOBS, the economy feels fine.
