I think it was Gianmarco Scorsi who has a bit about this lie, he said trump talks like a catty NYC neighbor who’s flamboyantly gay but so old they pretend to be straight and only make plausibly deniable comments

I can’t find a clip, but his impression is amazing, and the type of shit that would really get under Trump’s skin.

This is weirdly how I found out one of the main reasons The League was cancelled, was the creator and actor who played Kevin was found out to have made the same lie about being in ground zero.

The left needs to figure out a way to push progressive legislation without tying it to a party.

I mean, it’s not like it’s a mystery…

Read that PBS interview, all the DNC had to do was keep their thumb off the scales, and that’s what’s happening.

The idea that it took some crazy strategy and loads of money was neoliberal propaganda to excuse why their chosen candidates wouldn’t actually help anyone.

It is not hard to be an honest politician when you get to run in fair elections.

And primaries never have to be fair, that’s why it’s important the party elects leadership whose sole focus is running fair and unbiased primaries. Not doing that for 30 years is why shit is so fucked right now.

It’s not just that, a lot of people are weirdly insistent on the myth that progressive fiscal policy isn’t popular everywhere.

It fucking is.

I grew up in a county that voted over 95% trump the last three elections. I haven’t lived there for a long time, but I know the people and most of them are closer than 3rd cousins to me.

They’ve always wanted progressive policy, it’s just for the last 30 years that hasn’t been an option for them.

Stuff like better schools, better healthcare, workers protections, living wages…

All that is insanely popular all over the country. The problem is neoliberals never want to fix it, and with the prior top-down party structure they could crush progressives all over the country.

We’re back to bottom up, and progressives thrive there because it’s voters picking candidates and not billionaire donors.

We won’t just see a blue wave, we’ll see a wave of progressives who actually put in the work to fix shit

What are you even talking about?

2 years ago people included NYC as a place that would never elect a progressive, now people are fucking say obviously NYC has a progressive…

Look at that fucking list, all Republicans and corrupt neoliberals.

The day Mamdani won his primary the DNC chair endorsed him for the general and quickly (two weeks) gave a pbs interview about how the main parts of what Mamdani has is what the party needs. Even if policy positions would change place to place.

Like, you just invented a fucking straw man everyone else already accounted for and act like it’s a unique though.

Just what the fuck are you doing?

Edit:

Mamdani won his primary 6/24/25, this interview is 7/9/25:

Like…

You’re giving an example that proves my point, but you understand this so little you think it refutes it…

I don’t know if logic is going to help here.

Because neoliberals aren’t in charge of the DNC and haven’t been stealing money from state parties to save for an uncharismatic moderate in 2028…

Like, you know what better than having a billion plus war cheat right now?

The fact that we had one and already dumped the money on state parties. They e been running at campaign levels for 17 months now, that’s why progressives keep winning.

When voter outreach happens, everyone starts realizing they support progressive policy and so does everyone else. Those people vote in the primary and get progressive candidates to the general where they easily beat Republicans.

Anyone who thinks money is best used in advertising blitzes weeks/days before an election are streets behind.

Because “Democrats” is vague, it’s the DNC:

The Association of State Democratic Committees (ASDC), an arm of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), plans to train volunteers across 57 states and territories. It hopes to train volunteers for 25% of the nation’s 95,000 election day polling places, focusing on districts with competitive races.

These volunteers will wear blue vests to provide a visible presence intended to counter any voter intimidation, including by federal agents. Each state party has a trained election protection director.

I’ll never understand why people think a party controlling politicians is ideal…

Voters should control politicians, and especially for Senators recall votes should be a thing

It doesn’t matter this congress…

Next congress which starts in January it might…

I’m saying if Fetterman alone is what gets a D majority. That is the only time he would switch to R.

And if he does, he would immediately regret it because Republicans would treat him differently as a Republican.

I understand I basically just repeated myself, but does it make sense now?

Always happy to help someone who can’t use a search engine.

Once

The second he’s one of them he becomes the left most Republican instead of the furthest right dem…

That’s a huge difference and if it wasn’t for his brain damage he could see that coming.

The danger is if the Senate is 51/49 blue, Fetterman switching would make it 50/50 and defacto R with Vance as tiebreaker. And if Fettermen isn’t 100% with them on votes, he’ll get accused of being a double secret antifa.

He won’t handle that rationally either, and Id fully expect him to resign

I love an optimist, but honestly I’ve gotten burnt a lot here not including the “/s”.

Like, that was pretty thick, but there’s always a chance it gets missed.

Oh…

They could?

On Tuesday, a widely cited psychologist took to YouTube to raise the alarm regarding “more highly concerning behavior” from President Donald Trump.

Next you’re gonna say someone should write an article about it, then post to a link aggregator…

Then people should discuss in the comments.

I agree, I just think people should read the article first buddy

The psychologist?

What the fuck can they do?

It’s pretty funny he tried to use the Will Smith Oscar quote too…

Like, does he know that wasn’t a good move for Smith? He doesn’t know that ended his career and made him a giant joke?

I mean, the supposed shooter was legitimately further to the right of Kirk…

I’m just pointing out that a lot of inexplicable shit happened immediately after he died.

Is it most likely he was shot by a rifle? Absolutely.

But we don’t actually know that’s what happened.

He died a year ago this week, shot to death while speaking at Utah Valley University.

There’s been zero investigation…

And stuff like immediately repaving the concrete before law enforcement looked at it as a crime scene, is weird enough we shouldn’t just assume he was shot.

Like, they could have treated it as a normal investigation and people would be able to trust it. But after the shit they immediately pulled, there’s always going to be a shred of doubt that his microphone had a bomb or something else.

Dude was breaking from Trump on Israel, obviously America’s and Israel’s current governments arent above assassinating a streamer.

I mean, it’s owned by Jobs’ ex-wife, and has a massive pro-israel bias

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Atlantic#Coverage_of_Israel_and_Palestine

Oligarchs just keep repeating that progressives are bad at _____, because that’s their only move.

but I also would prefer the democrats put forward more progressive candidates

Buddy…

Every comment you make, shows you don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about.

The party shouldn’t pick any candidate, the fact that they were was the problem.

Why the fuck don’t you ask questions instead of a constant string of wrong information?

Do you think any of the shit you e been saying is actually true or how any of this works?

Then you don’t understand how bad the party was under neoliberalism from 1991-2025, and you just assume that was actually trying or that the party went in a different direction with the 2025 chair election.

Like, if you ignore everything, obviously it’s not going to make sense.

If you pay attention to what happened and what is happening, you wouldn’t spend your free time shitting on the best and only chance to save the country…

Unless you were a trump supporter or neoliberal despite to depress dem turnout to stop progressives
