Obama winning in 2008 really was a unifying moment in Hawaii. So many of the Trump supporters at my school liked Obama (and still do).

Politics discourse is so fucked. Even many conservatives don’t seem happy and they literally won

[Aurora Chang 張瓊方 🌻🍉 @aurorachaang]

viewing taiwanese independence as "US-CIA-backed separatism" rather than taiwanese people's struggle for self determination and decolonisation (from china and the ROC) is an imperialist position, in that you support chinese imperialism and reinforce US imperialism

@FelixFan03 Latino identity is becoming more symbolic so I don’t think this would work anymore

[Tripp808 @TrippT808]

I lean left but millennials mocking Gen Z politics as irretrievably right-wing doesn’t sit right with me

Posting about "AANHPI" will not flip back Flushing.

Thinking about politics generally isn’t cool, but people who think about politics as a popularity contest are the least cool out of everyone

[FUCCBOI HERMIT @fuccboihermit2]

the vibe shift truly is no joke. it genuinely isn’t hip to be left wing or liberal anymore, outside of very niche circles. mind you i say this as a native resident of a coastal mega city

@ARandomDem1 I don’t believe that happiness = it’s automatically good for you, but most of my trans friends lead healthier and more socially normal lives than before their transition

[Tripp808 @TrippT808]

Don’t know how to explain this clearly, but tech bros are essentially non-religious fiscal conservatives that are persuadable either way on social issues.

@TheAleksee I get the bit but Rufus’ politics do feel very Korean-Christian influenced

@essenaccount Zellnor Myrie is better on housing, rank Adams 2nd if it matters that much

[Tripp808 @TrippT808]

@kaden53535 Yeah but there’s no guarantee that children will grow up to vote the way the parents do

[Tripp808 @TrippT808]

I will also add that tech bros bandwagoning MAGA is an incredibly shortsighted decision that they’ll try to sweep under the rug fwiw

[Tripp808 @TrippT808]

Everyone who railed against “rainbow capitalism” needs to accept that this is the end result of their movement

New: Meta has deleted trans and nonbinary Messenger themes, as well as the blog posts announcing them. Happens the same week that it has changed its rules to allow users to say LGBTQ+ people are "mentally ill"

@RuNoseP The correct ideology

[Tripp808 @TrippT808]

@LilyArtemisTO Kane as a middle name is pretty funny since it just means “man”, but everything else is surprisingly plausible as a Hawaiian name

[Tripp808 @TrippT808]

Ok, not relevant at all, but why are so many Koreans named Esther?

[Vance Ulrich @VanceUlrich]

Huh, interesting. Not sure if any national Dems have encouraged her to run..

But a wealthy Korean-American that is bilingual is definitely a great bio for this district.

Curious if she has any OC connections though because a Hollywood carpetbagger wont go over well in South OC

[Tripp808 @TrippT808]

@TheAleksee Besides his questionable take, Will Stancil’s electoral record (0-1) makes him far from the best person to be talking about Dem messaging

[Hand Banana @__hand_banana]

one of the best things I ever did by accident was go to college in the Midwest

first, because I met my wife there

second, because I got to see a different social status game than the one people play in the northeast

[Tripp808 @TrippT808]

@TheAleksee Very attractive vision!
