Thoughts Become Things

He's also got a lot of traits of Tucker Carlson (simping for Russia) and Andrew Tate (rapey remarks) too.

i'm still a leftist but in my experience women are viewed as expendable in leftist spaces, spoken over, treated as stupid, on a level that is astounding. you can get away with an enormous level of vitriolic hatred for women if you couch it in the right terms

I could've written this post 10 years ago because these jokers never change but "Democrats can't just run on 'I'm not Trump!'" has always been dog shit stupid and so telling, both because Democratic politicians do have clear platforms outside of Trump that these people refuse to look up (and they'll scream at you if you try to talk about them), and because "I'm not a raping white supremacist" should actually be convincing enough in a two-party system if you're not an asshole. "Give me something to vote for, not against" ok first of all: voting against white supremacy means you're voting for a more inclusive society, for example. Secondly: grow up.

Lol MAGA on Twitter found Hasan's "We're going to destroy the white race" clip. Wonder if the GOP is going to release that one fast or hold onto it for October. Their cup runneth over.

Hungarian voters were smart on an individual level, throwing their support behind Magyar over how they might have traditionally voted, but there was an institutional element to it as well: it took most of the other parties dropping out of contention in order to clear the decks and avoid vote-splitting, which was a brave and principled thing for them to do.

maybe it's me being a brown woman but i can't comprehend how & why people treat having a racist phase as a teenager as smth okay or a norm

To paraphrase someone else I can't find: "your 'racist phase' was another kid's trauma".

I'm gonna be petty for five seconds but it's gonna be very very funny to watch the people who have latched onto Hasan have to answer for him because DSA aligned candidates are in races that Republicans are actually gonna take seriously.
