Same lady said a joke about Al Gore inventing the internet and was like “millennials won’t get that joke” and I thought we were passed everyone still talking like we are teenagers. Ma’am I am closer to 40 than 30. I know about Al fucking Gore

Ok but did you consider that now the American people will know who is fighting for them? Can you really put a price on “making a stern point”?

At a conference where a boomer is explaining to a huge audience that rising housing costs is actually the fault of millennials while everyone laughs about it and that’s it, I’m gonna be the Joker

Man, Democrats really just don’t understand that people don’t care about their wonky insider takes.

“Oh you have to understand how politics works”

Most voters are unengaged. If winning the fight means you have to explain the fight to them, then you lost the fight.

“Healthcare” is the rare issue that Democrats are usually ahead of Republicans already man, what the fuck are you even talking about

Wait did they actually fucking say that

Starting to feel like the Democratic Party is going to need to suffer a primary bloodbath like the Tea Party did to Republicans before these people learn their lesson. The distance between how some of the most prominent members of the party speak and how the average Dem wants them to act is huge

They caved in March so they could get a better deal now. They’re caving now so they can get a better deal in some indeterminate future. The better deal is always just beyond their reach, but continuing to cave will get them there. And if you don’t agree with that, you don’t understand Politics,

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

Sincerely it’s just that Democrats dont understand that “fight back” does not mean “briefly resist” it means fight back

Again the main issue here is Republicans will absolutely shoot the hostage and Democrats dont have the spine to simply refuse to negotiate with terrorists

Not only would Dems never get rid of it, but if Republicans did I swear to God Dems would bring it back because of “The Norms”

It’s funny that a writer in her 80s basically said Elon doesn’t have a soul and he immediately started pushing ads on his website saying he DOES read books

This is extremely accurate. It’s a shame it doesn’t apply to anything other than sports. Wouldn’t that be wild?

I think maybe Nate was just an unfuckable nerd most of his life and now he sees a chance to seem like one of the “normal” people so he’s saying shit like this

Shutdowns always hurt Democrats because eventually actual suffering will make them feel bad and they’ll cave on some other kind of suffering in order to alleviate the immediate suffering and it sucks ass

This is an actual slide from a speaker at a conference I am attending and I truly don’t understand how people get paid to say this meaningless bullshit and call it insight

Gate agent told a woman literally being pushed in a wheelchair who had to be at least 80 to “just check the app” when she asked about rebooking

It was almost cartoonish how little this gate agent cared about us. Like two other people tried to get her attention before I finally said “hey, shes asking about the flight, is it gone?”

By the end people asked me if I would track down another agent (original stormed off) and help them

United screwed over a dozen passengers and stranded us overnight in San Francisco by refusing to hold a plane to Hawaii for literally 5 minutes because and I had an interaction with the gate agent that resulted in those passengers declaring me their leader and I’m only kind of exaggerating

“You got any clankers in this house?” I ask as I screen the home my daughter wants to spend time in with her friend after school as she mouths “sorry” behind me because my hate for those robot butlers is basically just the new racism now

I keep thinking about how we had whole heatings to put warning stickers on rap music and now we have these nightmare bots literally telling kids how to tie a good hanging knot

Even when that happens they’ll say it was because the pilot was black

The Michael Jackson biopic seems to be a story about the first 30 years of his life which seems like a pretty safe place to end the story given all the…stuff that happened later
