@TheOmniLiberal inb4 the Pod Save bros blame the “democratic establishment” for democrats losing and our poor candidates. I can’t believe how quickly DC Bros forgot the huge reality check we all got in 2024
@TheOmniLiberal I’ve always thought of working class as meaning that if you miss a paycheck it will dramatically make your life more difficult / require cost cutting in important expenses.
This is based 🤷♂️ sorry! Democracies around the world (including the US) are being manipulated through online foreign influence, kids are being radicalized to commit violent attacks on Discord, CEOs are rigging algorithms for personal gain. It’s past time to get a grip on ts.
NEW - Dems' "Project 2029" first major policy proposal: an online child safety plan — narrowing Sec. 230, banning social media for kids under 16, promoting phone-free childhoods and more
Already backed by Cory Booker, Mikie Sherrill, Randi Weingarten + Jonathan Haidt
@zacharywefel All they care about is retaining their delusion of power as insiders.
Swaying DFL support requires feeding some massive egos, it’s basically a humiliation ritual for candidates and newcomers. They thrive off of (unsuccessfully) trying to force candidates to bend the knee
Today is a good day to remind everyone @Twitch gave streamers who supported and advertised the Russian war machine 3 day suspensions. While creators who say the wrong word, or show the wrong content, get bans lasting months or years.
Twitch cares about market share over ethics.
@KennyDeanT It’s so embarrassingly easy to get these people’s undying support. Just 3 copy paste phrases and they’ll forgive anything. No morals just slopulism
@zacharywefel Thank you for saying this. Most caucuses and conventions are done on Saturdays, meaning Observant Jews are almost entirely excluded. Working class people who want to enjoy their weekend and not spend 8+ hours stuck in an auditorium are also excluded. It’s not an open tent at all.
@richardcarlbom You didn’t say anything as DSA organized against elected DFLers. Why do you have a problem with liberal dems organizing too? If you assist the DSA in hijacking the endorsement process, DFL candidates will lose their primaries and the endorsement will lose its meaning. Good luck.
@maiamindel The exacerbation of the gap between the elite’s Out of Touch opinions vs. the layman’s Reactionary opinions is intentional. Our now digital “town squares” have algorithms that prioritize engagement over productivity and pro socialization. Algorithms should be regulated.
@maiamindel Normal people don’t have a medium that facilitates productive discussion, so the flashiest opinions end up with the most reach. Elites have access to the education and environments that facilitate grounded thinking, debate, and compromise. That’s where this notion comes from.
@ExistentialEnso Agree. In 2020, police reform had enough political momentum to actually happen for the first time in American history. Leftists burned it all away with non-nuanced messaging like “Abolish the Police” and “ACAB”.
U can say it’s wrong/not fair, but that’s the political reality 🤷♂️
@TaylorLorenz@binchcity Are you claiming the World Health Organization aren’t experts? Video game addiction is absolutely a real condition according to them.

@TaylorLorenz@BostonJoan I love how often you have to remind people you’re against tech millionaires because if you didn’t you would sound indistinguishable from their paid lobbyists lmaoo
