As a moderate conservative, the immediate goal of this account is to bring leftwing politics back to its Classical Liberal roots

Since DSA & progressives are unironically adopting authoritarian philosophies to fight righting authoritarianism, simple debates will make this easy

@mhdksafa Mamdani's mother is literally in the Epstein files and attended a private party with those same billionaires btw

[Pileate @thepileate]

Since it's popular to have nuanced conversations about "radical" politics now, but in a concerningly authoritarian way, I'm shifting that energy in a more Liberal direction;

Confederacy wasn't done right the first time and technology can overcome it's obvious moral shortcomings

Idk who needs to hear this, but there wouldn't be so many flock cameras being put up if there wasn't mini Jan 6s in progressive cities every month since covid

And now those same groups are tearing down the cameras those cities paid for, resulting in even more cameras

Shocker

The reason she's had a low profile lately is likely because she's been training for the debate stage in prep for this

Underestimate her chances at your own risk, especially if the GOP runs Vance

BREAKING: AOC surges ahead of Gavin Newsom in the 2028 presidential odds for the first time, as democratic socialism expands its national reach.

11% chance AOC takes the White House.

This isn’t “code switching” he’s just lying to the public.

His mom was in the Epstein files, what do you expect?

[Pileate @thepileate]

That's too funny Krystal

But still not as funny as watching you forgo all your credibility as a Liberal just to partake in team politics, engage in low IQ culture wars, and support definionally anti-libral philosophies

And I'd say having this on his website, marketing his entire campaign around it, then gleefully accepting Kamala's endorsement yesterday, in fact, makes him "full of shit"

[Pileate @thepileate]

@TeaFleurde @MeidasTouch Too bad I'm not MAGA, it's equally anti-liberal and authoritarian as DSA

There is nothing more hypocritical than being a "liberal" who supports socialism; they are definitionally opposites

Learn to take criticism from moderates without resorting to ad hominems

[Pileate @thepileate]

Leftwing conspiracies about Israel/Jews are starting to become even more unhinged that the rightwing ones

A truly impressive feat

[Pileate @thepileate]

Yeah that's because it's verifiably an institution for communist subversion

The foundational economic doctrine of the DSA is ranked 5th in History, Political Science, and Sociology, but only 192nd in Economics for assigned reading

Definitely not suspicious or malintentioned...

Only in America is being college-educated a negative.

@willsextonx This is a mute point in 2026

The Lebanese areas in Dearborn have unironically been taken over by more radical Muslim groups

[Pileate @thepileate]

Voter ID doesn't go far enough

Political competency tests should be required for any and all general elections of congressmen, senators, and presidents

There's a reason we can't graduate high school without first passing our American Government Exam

[Trinity Votes 🇮🇱🇺🇦 @TrinityMustache]

The “religious” purpose of hijab is not for worship or respect for God. It’s purely patriarchal. Women are responsible for preventing men’s lust and must cover up. And they start forcing young girls to wear hijab because a child can “tempt” a man. It’s fundamentally antifeminist

Mind you at this time they, specifically Hillary Clinton, were calling minorities super-predators and saying that marriage should only be between a man and a woman

Wisconsinite here. The amount of Tim Tiffany signs that have popped up since last weekend is genuinely crazy

All part of the plan;
-prop up DSA to shift moderate dems into moderate Republicans
- prop up Tucker to shift MAGA to moderates
- merge these coalitions to beat the Left for good

[Pileate @thepileate]

@Polymarket Don't worry, this is why they have library cards

[Pileate @thepileate]

@brhodes My dad loved Obama to the point that he bought his book. A lifelong union Democrat and never-Trumper

He will be voting republican this November because he hates DSA that much

Socialism is definitionally anti-liberal and authoritarian

Get a grip and stop playing team politics

@mikeowens1 @MeidasTouch

[Pileate @thepileate]

FFS way too many people have a misconception of what "separation of church & state" meant at Americans founding

America's foundational documents are completely indoctrinated with Christian ethics; it is definitionally a Christian Nation

The founders didn't want America to have a national CHURCH like the Church of England, they fully intended on having a national religion. There is a wolrd of a difference and it is historically dishonest to argue otherwise

If you want to live in a country that treats people differently based on their faith, leave. This is America.
