obscene dishonor
All the policy nerds are like “why does all the latest Democratic messaging assume voters are innumerate morons who care only for treats?” and, uh…
I have some theories about how they reached this conclusion.
No one wants to be a 24 year old with no money more than taylor lorenz
You should all be like me, priding myself on *not* being the median voter, which is a moron
Case worker for children
I was in the UK at the time and the BBC was doing 24/7 coverage of the Columbia encampment. I was like...is this really necessary?
The fact that Biss is winning women over men and Kat Abu isn't doing all that well with women feels...notable
Don't love how Palestinians have become a catch-all for oppressed people, seemingly with no connection to the actual plight of Palestinians.
This is just Puritan "leisure is sinful" ideology

Taylor Swift tried her best 😔
Virginia works so hard being the only good ex-Confederate state 😔
holy shit you're right
dude couldn't even throw Warren or his buddy Gallego in there to give it some sizzle, just straight white men all the way down
Oh can we note that every single senator Platner admires is a man
The fascination the populist left has with Hawley never ceases to bemuse me
like why
That's what gets me - dude was a grown adult working as a bartender when he said drunk women are responsible for rape.
How old are we expected to let men get with that opinion? Why can't we expect them to learn otherwise *before* they are responsible for drunk people in a bar?
Why can't white people join other groups for racial justice? who's stopping us?
Back on strattera and lexapro and oh man I can already feel my brain getting calmer, I love it
yeah but David Sirota isn't worried that Sean Duffy will run against one of his friends in a primary, so who cares?
The whole Platner thing has really strengthened my cynicism about men and how they judge toxicity in other men.
In college a "friend" of mine refused to kick out a racist, creepy guy who borderline threatened Muslim students because he was cool to have a beer with. So he wouldn't hurt anyone!
is it morally or legally right? no
has it achieved any long standing strategic aims outside of degrading iranian strike assets? no
did any plan go into thinking about the second-order effects of this conflict? no
Also, them will go out of their way to make queer electeds look bad - see them distorting McBride's popular first bill to call her a sellout to private equity
Super online queer people are more likely to be the types who think we should never have moved out of unground ballrooms and seedy bars
Queer online media is a big part of the problem. I always point to Them, the biggest queer news account on insta, which basically does not post about queer electeds unless 1. it is negative or 2. the elected happens to be the wife of one of their friends in queer journalism
Online people who are heavily invested in queer identity are, unfortunately, more likely to be maximalist anti-assimilationists who think the act of being a queer politician is selling out
There is also very little desire to learn about anyone except Pete and McBride, who these people despise
One of my recent small business employers had an HR lady.
She was the CEO's wife.
If you think big corporations are bad you should have to work for a mom and pop small company until you learn the error of your ways
It’s horrifying how many people seem to think ”it was better back when husbands were the sole breadwinners and wives stayed home all day with the kids” is a progressive opinion
hey so why does bluesky occasionally show you content from kink accounts that you have never once in your life expressed a proclivity for
we have gotten so used to women's lib that we have straight up forgotten how transformative the washing machine and dishwasher were in allowing women to get out of the house and, say, get a PhD
sucks!
Woman says from her professional academic job, which was largely made possible because technology to automate household labor got rid of the need for someone to be at home spending 6 hours a day hand-wringing laundry
I like sitting on my ass doing software development as my washing machine works!
This is how we know John Adams would have been highly resistant to poster's madness
