That’s fair. Mostly it’s cuz of video games lol.

"we" remember just fine. It's just the NYT opinion page editors who are apparently completely ignorant of history

They’re using American tax dollars to fund infrastructure in Argentina because that’s where they’re all going to flee when we kick them out of office

Wow that’s a good pair!!

I like him?

This is the most beautiful and heartbreaking action by these bystanders.

Exactly, the Dems' "condescension problem" is almost entirely a creation of right-wing media.

This piece gets at something that I've been struggling to articulate: We've seen this exact push-pull before. When Republicans were out of power in the 1990s they invented "political correctness" to pretend they were being censored. Then they went right back to censoring once they had power again.

Sam’s Law of Media:

The media treats Democrats as the only political actors with agency, responsible for everything happening

Republicans, by contrast, are treated like zoo animals: odd, fascinating, but never to be judged and, perhaps more importantly, never responsible for their own decisions

Alex Thompson @AlexThomp Follow Tough poll for Democrats on a shutdown. nytimes.com/2025/09/30/pol.. THE NEW YORK TIMES/SIENA POLL Sept. 22-27 Views on whether the Democrats should or should not shut down the government if their demands are not met

question: why does the media treat democrats as the only ones with any agency? republicans have a trifecta, they can prevent a shutdown whenever they want

more important question: what is wrong with Alex Thompson?

Yup. Virginia Woolf. Still the best show I’ve ever seen!

Tell your grandkids this was Antifa:

Saudi comedy festival draws big names and backlash Human rights advocates and some comics say the festival, at which Bill Burr, Louis C.K., Dave Chappelle and Kevin Hart are performing, whitewashes abuses.

kudos to ALL the comedians who have spoken out forcefully against this, including Marc Maron (who remains one of our greatest national treasures), Leslie Liao, and yes, even that conservative dipshit Shane Gillis. Pete Davidson's agreement to this "festival" especially is just disgusting, C'MON MAN.

Tell me again how the problem is Democrats’ “messaging.” 🙄

Remember: however much contempt you have for journalists, it’s not nearly enough

Republicans are getting the kind of government they want.

Remember this in future elections.

You, however, have quite the … imagination… I imagine.

Perhaps you missed basic communications and media theory.

To all the people who type “Who??” in response to the Bad Bunny Super Bowl announcement:

It’s actually “¿¿Quien??”

You’re right, instead of communicating to voters what’s going, Democrats should ____.

Ah yes, this private conversation he was having, only talking to Republicans.

EXACTLY

Exactly.

What else does he say there, Ken? 🙄

Fun fact: There’s a whole second clause to the quote Ken klipped out for some reason. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Way to not listen to the whole quote to own the libs.

Um, you’re doing the same thing but from the left here.

Reading this, I'm seeing something I call the swerve

there are people, usually with a high level of in-born privilege, who *will not see certain things.* They just *won't.* And if you put it in front of their faces they will do ANYTHING to insist it's not there.

Klein keeps swerving.
