I've never hoped to change the Democrats' mind, TBH. What I want is for PEOPLE to see that the Democrats lost because of the genocide. And for them to see that openly conducted genocide is still not accepted by the working class.

Yeah. I'd personally add that I think Trump is selling himself, not really policy promises. The "promises" all just point back to, "I'm going to be the biggest asshole you can possibly imagine." So he doesn't really have anything concrete he has to live up to. Whereas the Democrats have—at least historically—made big promises and then let everyone down on them in monumentally spectacular ways. Obama promised to fix the 2008 housing and financial crisis, to immediately codify Roe v. Wade, to implement universal healthcare, to end the wars...and did absolutely NONE of it. And they were big enough promises and obvious enough non-delivery that the Democrats' propaganda couldn't fool people into thinking he had carried through at all. So with the Democrats, everyone is pretty much like, "You can't fool us again", whereas with Trump it's like, "There's nothing to fool us on. We know exactly what we're getting." So I think the donkeys have backed themselves into a corner where they not only don't make any real promises, but no one would even believe them if they did.

IIRC he did just kinda let Biden have Ukraine as a pet project, though. He might have been kind of personally inclined to not be as belligerent there, but not opposed enough to pull his rabid dog's leash and back him off.

Not to mention the fact that the very Muslim ban he's lambasting Trump for was his own fucking idea. Trump just made it explicitly religiously discriminatory, and it was saying the quiet part out loud which was the real crime. jesus-christ

Tucker Carlson claims he was ‘mauled’ in bed by a demon in an attack that left claw marks on his body.

When I have this kind of masturbation accident, I usually don't brag about it. But everyone has their kink, I guess.

They were absolute doofuses for thinking she was ever leftist in the first place, TBH. There was no grift. She (and TYT in general) were always open about it. People are just so ignorant of political philosophy that they can't read the writing on the wall.

In soooooooooooo many ways. Liberals always get this shit exactly backwards. Learn the wrong lesson from history again, dweebs. I dare you!

Declaring premature victory has never worked before and will totally backfire. nerd

I think it's a pathetic attempt at reverse psychology, TBH. They are broadcasting what they fear the most, but hoping he's so stupid he won't realize it (which could be accurate, but he's probably just going to do what he's going to do at this point anyway).

This is the anti-endorsement she needs, TBH. DO IT Dubya! DO IT!

A long time ago in college physics we learned the U.S. military had tried and given up on using lasers (for anything, really, but especially anti-missile shit), because it is so cheap and easy to just make things reflective and bounce that shit off. Doubt that one's making a serious comeback.

Dude criticizes The View (for being anti-gun), and conservatives (especially for climate denialism), and how we're all divided through propaganda in order to keep us from blaming "the politicians and the elite" in power, and talks about how bosses often try to keep us from sharing e.g. wage info with our fellow workers....

He literally has "praxis" in the name of the channel, and this particular video is called "Why You're Weak" (no, he's not talking about working out).

His solution is building community, forming relationships, and building "consensus" (even uses that term).
