You were too lazy to leave the house on a Tuesday evening and are just dressing that up in a way that doesn't make you a shamefully stupid idiot

Don't let idealism blind you to reality.

My dad made a ton of money and barely spent a dime on me, so your son doesn't care about your success, he cares that you care about him and his well-being.

He's going to adjurn both houses to make his recess appointments and they'll let him do it.

There's pretty likely to be compromising information on Gaetz, so that could qualify.

Gabbard is a hindu facist, she's part of that international right-wing reactionary coalition that formed after the arab spring freaked all the authoritarian leaders from Modi to Putin.

Those people aren't on Lemmy so I can't chastise them here. Believe me, I am writing incredible vitriol to Anita Dunn too

Why is that bad politics, but dividing 60% of the democratic centerists amongs Biden, Klob, and Pete to achieve victory good politics?

Aren't you alienating the largest portion of the base who will feel cheated that their candidate only lost because the race was too crowded with centrists?

The democratic party shares most of the blame, but those that withheld their vote exhibited extremely poor strategy which have made their positions and the position of everyone they claim to care about much much worse.

They surrendered what little influence they had. Instead of trying to grow their power like evangelicals in the 70s, they chose to give up and hope that the results are so horrific it creates a left-wing backlash that can sweep in and fix everything.

Hope is not a strategy, and the most likely outcome is what little progress the American left has made over the last 30 years will be completely undone and we will spend the rest of our lives trying to get back to where we were in 2014.

They're stupid, well-meaning, idiots.
