Why is it baffling? Moderates have been doing that forever. They are far more afraid of the progressive left than they are of the regressive right, and it shows. They wanted to appeal to the center-right moderates, failed and are blaming progressives for that failure, instead of looking at why and how their appeals…

This. All day and twice on Sunday. Network news, cable news and social media could have started to “cut away” from Trump’s lies in 2015. This smug “Have you decency, sir ...” moment that the media is congratulating itself for is fucking bullshit. If they refuse to treat the next four years of his 2024 re-election…

This.

Yep. Thanks to the organizing efforts of people like Stacy Abrams, the turnout in urban Democratic strongholds like Atlanta, Philadelphia, Detroit were key to flipping the key states. And yet (mostly) white moderate centrists in the House are already blaming progressives in the House, who are largely people of color…

I’m continually staggered by the horror show that is the leadership of the Republican party in the US. How so many are continuing to throw their support at him for the slim chance of retaining power, even if it means subverting democracy.

I think most people who have pointed out right-wing fascist tendencies growing since the Reagan Bush years can now feel thoroughly vindicated in saying “I told you so”.

All the “you’re being alarmist, what will you do when a REAL fascist shows up?” people – the whole half-of-an-electorate of them –have proven conclusively…

Pennsylvania had over 2.5 million mail-in ballots. Mine was one of them! The state law mandated they could not be counted until Election day and the state legislature voted to change this law due to the overwhelming volume of ballots. The REPUBLICANS voted against it! So now they are counting at the Convention Center…

Yeah, in Canada, (pre-Harper at least), Biden would have been the ideal Conservative candidate. The fact that Americans consider him a radical leftist just shows how far along to path to fascism they are.

My homie, the president, needs a civics class.

As a European that ‘socialism is worse’ really drives me nuts.

I make tweets, I stain my sheets

There’s just still that deep fear that you’re gonna wake up and find out that suddenly out of nowhere it all went Waddles’ way again. The country will never survive four more years of his gassy inept blubbering and the endless schemes, scams and cons. I mean look at him, listen to him, he’s not even a normal human…

Pretty sure she means that she personally doesn't believe that a beauty standard should exist as it's a harmful thing, but her wording is awkward. It's kind of obvious from the context, so you have to be willfully looking for a bad message to just focus on that one phrase.

i interpreted it the same way. she’s not stupid, and she talks about her own insecurity, so it doesn’t make sense that she would deny the existence of appearance expectations placed on women (and choosing to read it that way... is a choice). the wording could be better, but it sounds like she’s just saying that…

No, I interpret her comments the same way. She’s saying that there is no objective standard for beauty. If anything, she’s agreeing that the beauty brands and fashion magazines are doing a disservice by not representing outside a narrow view. I don’t know how the question was really phrased but, even in this article,…

As a non-american whose feeds are polluted with your media, can you just hurry up and fucking get it over with please? The main silver lining I can see coming out of this is I’ve seen repeated claims that people didn’t vote for the GOP, they voted for trump, and if he loses they won’t vote for the GOP again. If that…

how about Anderson Cooper describing Trump on the podium as ‘an obese turtle on his back, flailing in the hot sun’   hahahahaha

To be 100% fair to Esper (HA HA HA wait, lemme finish) I don’t think he released his resignation publicly, it was leaked. Of course,  he is an adult who chose to work for Satan, so he deserves any discomfort he may accidentally bump up against.

I mean, it doesn’t really matter. A politician’s concession does not decide a race. The number of votes does. A concession is a nice thing to do, and may save resources in some circumstances, I guess (?). But it’s not necessary (or even sufficient), and if someone wants to be an asshole to no particular end, let them.
