Keep on going, if you say it often enough it's bound to become true one of these days.

Accurate post, but probably not the way you intend.

I am beginning to derive a very specific pleasure from walking away while self-checkout is telling me not to forget to take my receipt. Feels like the kind of thing there should be a German or Swedish word for.

or, at least, we were, I know i'm not anymore

they're not in the big tent with us, we're in the big tent with them

yes, but I suspect if we were to ask a question that reflects the democratic party as it exists to today, it would be "to what extent should a political party run by people with popular prejudices appeal to people ostensibly committed to equality?"

! was literally listening to this in the car this morning. it does rule.

i have some thoughts about politics! *explodes, leaving you feeling deeply relieved*

They're sitting around in a vibrant multicultural community going "we need to get white people to move back in!" And it's not even like there's no white people, they're just the kind of white people who hate Nazis!

If Platner were Republican then of course the Rs would circle the wagons, 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘣𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘰𝘬 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘕𝘢𝘻𝘪 𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘰𝘰𝘴. If he had a BLM tattoo they would erase him immediately. And the Democrats would do the same, even though most of their actual base thinks a Nazi tattoo is disqualifying!

Growing increasingly convinced that many political oddities of the Democratic party can be best understood once you realize that the base they think they're playing to is imaginary, and that imagination is "white suburbanites who are almost but not quite overtly reactionary."

Unless *all* leftists are in that screenshot, do the honorable thing and admit that you are a pathetic shit-stirring asshole, thanks. Bud.

"All the leftists are going to bat for Platner."

"I know some that aren't."

"Are you fucking delusional? Here's one leftist who's going to bat for Platner."

Class, racism, and inequality are also about cannibals

he's not an oaf, although he is large

Taking a talking point from Mitch Hedberg. "I used to have a Nazi tattoo. I still do, but I used to, too."

bot

my tattoo is a willow tree, and it represents thati am sad.

thats why you should always carry a replacement hole

"Don't have a Nazi tattoo" is a low bar but you're not clearing it. Time to drop out of the race. Such a disappointment.

yep, to me, it is a very annoying part of bluesky culture

oh, actually, one of the reddit things he wrote was "why don't black people tip," which I do have a problem with, so never mind.

because i hate the bluesky vagueposting thing where they neveer tell you what they're responding to, maine senate candidate graham platner, who seemed appealing, turns out to have made some posts on reddit that i don't have a problem with at all, but also to have the SS Totenkopf tattoo on his chest

won't say "i knew it" but instead i will say "many examples of appealing candidates turning out to have obviously disqualifying features that should have been easily discovered in vetting and led any sensible person never to run in the first place has made me believe good things ain't possible."

James Baldwin was also a brother

Idiocracy? It was a documentary.
