If I'm parsing this right... Good? Right after elections is like, the best possible time for critique. Didn't want to say it yesterday, but fuck blue MAGA the two party system and the rachet effect. There's no such thing as a good politician, and less bad isn't enough. Voting is harm reduction, I'm glad we picked methadone over fent but am still looking to get clean.
From how much anger and vitriol liberals give all throughout the time I have been told there's no point in time to criticize. A lot of shut up and take it lefty bullshit.
I'm just happy that we have more DSA members and progressives in congress. They're still a smallish group, but I'm hoping that there may be enough of them to push truly progressive policy.
It also looks like Alaska kept its ranked-choice voting in a ballot initiative. I'm really hoping that we start to see that spread. There were also several independent candidates that did really well, which might be a sign that people are more willing to listen to 3rd parties. Fucking Chuck Schumer is already vaccilating about universal healthcare, and I'd really like for him to go get a nice swirly and then shut the fuck up.
he and hakeem, and the rest of the aipac dinos are trying to take credit for the wins, typical, and very gop-like.
I'm happy you're happy, this seems like a perfectly reasonable and well-rounded take. It was fucked up they were trying to get rid of ranked choice again, it's such a clear method of weakening "the establishment" whoever you think that is and the only way third parties will ever get a chance to be heard. "Fuck Chuck" is short, punchy, and rhymes, surprised it's not a bumper sticker :p
Yup. Maybe give it a day after election ends, though. If nothing else, for the post-celebration hangovers to wear off :P (and for the Dems to do something wrong and/or fail to do something right with the positions they have been entrusted with)
EDIT: Apparently, it's like the presidential and their proper term doesn't actually begin until January. Although, one could still judge them on their rhetoric, I guess...
It’s a good time to critique the body of work of the current Congress.
For the new electorates it seems fair to wait until…they’ve actually taken office?
Why not just wait until they've retired, hindsight is 20/20 after all
Or, hear me out, now that they've got the job of representing us it's the perfect time to call them out, hold them accountable, and try to make sure they actually do so
Dang I’m not nominating you for the Buc Nasty award. Very solid hatin
Thanks, I try ;)
We still have statements to go off so there's more than enough material to shit on, say, Schumer and Jeffries, but the real meat is going to come on Nov 18th when they elect Congress leadership.
Oh hey, big holding corps are buying up methadone clinics.
The real question is how I can get rich off this
Crush the working class for profit. EZ
If it weren't for the "blue maga" mention, I can take this comment seriously and agree with it 98%. Given that every cultlike Democrat that has ever existed wouldn't outnumber the maga ones who currently live in a single county in Florida, this is a disingenuous term that destroys the credibility of anyone using it.
I genuinely can't parse your critique, but find it a funny and apt term for a certain type of person. Political merch cash cows and the "forever war but inclusive" corpos they fall in behind. Feels like the Cali governor is the next one they're propping up, for a more concrete example. "I'm with her" t-shirts while Bernie was getting fucked over is another
I don't quite believe that you don't get what you're doing or what issue I have with the term "blue maga". It's obviously meant to compare rabid racist sociopaths to some democrat equivalent. Every trump supporter I've conversed with in my life has copped to zero negative facts about trump. Most they'd ever admit is "he doesn't always hold back" or some shit. Meanwhile I've known many Democratic voters. Most of which aren't even really that knowledgeable, and yet, they were always open to criticism of Democrats. They rarely make excuses for them. I've only known 2 people who like Biden and maybe 1 who liked Kamala. Almost universally, Democratic voters would be in favor of prosecuting Democrats who commit crimes. Meanwhile Republicans cover for a known rapist pedophile.
What you're intentionally doing is pretending there's anything comparable about the two groups of voters. You know there's not much there to compare. And because I know you must know this, you have given up your credibility. Pretty simple really.
...one thing I am sure of is that you're putting words in my mouth, assuming my intentions, and generally being an asshole. I never had any credibility, I'm a random fuckin shitposter like yourself. At least I know it! Really should know better than to engage too, but yes there are absolutely people delusional enough to deny the crimes of their chosen tribe wherever you look and your anecdotal bullshit is exactly the kind of "evidence" that lets them get away with it
Like I said, when you used that term you knew what you were doing and I wouldn't expect you to drop the pretense now.
Lmao just noticed your claim that I'm the same as a pedophile cover-upper because I accurately conveyed the demeanor of people I've known in real life.
I am glad, even proud, to still have no idea what your problem is lol. Enjoy downvoting every reply I've been baitied into wasting on you, not feeling the need to reciprocate that is enough of a win for me
You know exactly what my problem is. Both before and after I expanded on it. Contrary to your "you're a troll just baiting people" claim, you can rest assured this is the last time you will hear back.
I very much do not. That's a question for a team of well-equipped therapists, or maybe a university research department
