@luxeprogressive @nkulw I mean I'm not gonna cast stones because I don't work in a coal mine but a twitch streamer saying "labor is labor" in defense of a podcaster is kind of funny.

@borderlinesmart @nkulw The podcast is very well researched and in depth and Tre just posts slop on Twitter. Trying to denigrate someone due to the medium of their work is kind of stupid. Labor is labor

You are a talentless Twitter warrior. The searchlight institute is a pompous group of pollsters posturing as a think tank. The only reason people know your name is because periodically you do something really embarrassing on social media. Settle down

No candidate who is serious about winning a general election in a swing state would be associating this closely with this dude.
English
@DannyByGaslight He's very active when it comes to primaries and municipal elections, sure. He also spent the entire 2024 election cycle telling his followers that there was zero difference between Harris and Trump.
English
@borderlinesmart Promoting candidates he believes in (over 20 so far this year alone) and doing campaign events and fundraising with them doesn’t really fit the whole “voting is unimportant” narrative
English
Who cares if he appeals to young men if his message is "voting is pointless"? They can get that message from any podcaster. What is the reason Democrats should be courting him? Because he's popular? So is Tucker Carlson.
Kylie Cheung@kylietcheung
why do Democrats hate the only prominent streamer/political influencer who vaguely appeals to young men like every single other one is a neo-nazi manosphere freak and they are going after Hasan harder than they go after Trump. like israel is really worth all that to you?? jesus
English
He obviously doesn’t think voting in primaries is pointless which is why he’s doing the rally that has everyone’s panties in a twist

@hasanthehun Lol you don't even vote against Republicans yourself. You have no interest in defeating them. You make more money when they're in power.
English
democrats that spend any amount of time chirping about me love israel more than defeating republicans and preserving democracy.

@Winfield_24 Focus on your webtoons man doesn't sound like you know anything about politics.

Obama wasted a supermajority to pass a Heritage Foundation HC reform similar to Romneycare. To add insult to injury he also interfered in the 2020 primary to bench the only candidate running on Med4All.
Eat shit

The day the Affordable Care Act passed was one of my proudest moments as president, because it meant that millions of Americans would have access to health care, some for the first time. The ACA also prevented insurance companies from denying people with pre-existing conditions coverage, allowed young people under the age of 26 to remain on their parents’ plan, expanded Medicaid, and so much more. But the ACA was always meant to be a first step. We still have to do more to expand access and make health care more affordable for everyone.
English
@LukewSavage This didn't happen. Many disagreed with his proposed plan but Democrats as a party have been pushing for universal healthcare as least as far back as the '90s.
English
If the ACA was meant to be just a "first step", why did virtually the entire Democratic Party relentlessly attack Bernie Sanders in 2016 and 2020 for suggesting it was time to guarantee healthcare as a right?

@shadihamid You are consistently wrong about politics and have a strange amount of sympathy for RWers and fascists.
English
If it was Shapiro vs. Tucker, I could imagine a significant number of progressives, young people, Arabs, and Muslims sitting it out or actually voting for Tucker.
Andrew Comstock@AndrewComstock0
@shadihamid I agree and can easily see it happening, for instance If it is Shapiro vs Tucker in 2028

@BrndnStrssng That kicks so much ass. It's definitely one of the most moving and ambitious comic book movies out there, like a superhero story as a Greek tragedy. More than due for a reevaluation. Crouching Tiger is also just plain one of the best movies ever made.
English
Was at a dinner last night that included Tim Squyres, editor of Crouching Tiger, Lust, Caution, Hulk etc. When he was leaving, I told him I thought Hulk was probably the best comic movie ever made, he pointed to his (green) jacket sleeve and revealed it was a Hulk crew jacket
English
@PostLeftWatch Literally zero original thoughts. Some popular account tweeted once "libs don't oppose Trump's policies, they just want a polite fascist" and the slot machine Ken calls a brain landed on that as a response.
English
If you don't like that Trump said he's glad Robert Mueller died, you're just a lib "obsessed with decorum"
English
@mattyglesias I mean this should be a backup plan at best. These guys are out of control and will have spent years terrorizing our communities by the time we have a new president. The main goal should be abolishing and widespread investigations.
English
Trump sending ICE to the airport is a reminder that the next administration genuinely does not need to pick a big fight about “defunding” anything, law enforcement resources are fungible and you can just send these guys to do whatever.

@kenklippenstein Ken can you give an example of someone at a regular job having to "figure it out" in a comparable situation? Have you ever had a regular job in your life?
English
Lil Klip Tip for the members of Congress out there: people didn't send you there to hear how impossible everything is. Fucking figure it out like anyone with a regular job has to

@keithdorejel Pretty sure no liberals gave their life savings to the Lincoln Project, so no, I don't think so.
English
The Lincoln Project grifted resistance libs as badly as anyone on the right swindled MAGA.
English
@TerwillikerInst @wisetruecorrect I remember there were complaints about Fall Guy's marketing when it came out, people not sure if it was IP or what the tone was, etc. That could've been a factor. It's a pretty fun time imo, though I would've liked more suspense and a little less breeziness.
English
@wisetruecorrect I'm not the biggest fan of Lord and Miller, but they are pretty consistently good at creating high-concept crowd-pleasing movies with interesting visuals.
Meanwhile, David Leitch just makes kinda dour (even when they're comedies), generic-looking action movies.
English
@roddreher Rod I think you know this justification is extremely stupid. One day you'll either have to acknowledge you helped make the world an immeasurably worse place or die in denial as a huge piece of shit. Cheers!

Disgraceful. But by now, par for the course. #WeimarAmerica
(I know, I know: "But you supported him in 2024!" True. Democrats are even worse - Rachel Levine, y'all? Still, general support for his admin does not require silence before the violation of common human decency.)

@Annie_Wu_22 There really wasn't much daylight between Lamb and Fetterman policy-wise. Lamb didn't get people as excited because he was a boring normie Dem, but he also didn't have Fetterman's red flags. The lesson there is that the twitter darling isn't always the best choice.
English
Lamb ran to the right of Fetterman on every issue except for Israel.
In the 2022 primary debate (pre-stroke) that was abundantly clear.
Let’s stop re-writing history. Conor was never some progressive champion and at the time was the most moderate of the 3 primary candidates.
Rob Wood@MediawatchNw
The Democrats of Pennsylvania could have had Conor Lamb as their Senator but instead looked at a big doofy guy in a hoodie and decided they preferred a guy who looked and acted more like them than an educated attorney with military experience. This mess is all on you guys.
English
A presidential candidate and later president being in bed with one of the most dangerous authoritarians on the planet has actually been incredibly damaging to democracy and led to millions of people being harmed. I'm sorry you found the Mueller memes to be cringe though
Jeet Heer@HeerJeet
I would like to see some reflection on liberal on the absurd cult of Mueller, which wasted crucial years in the largely spurious Russia-gate fantasy when energy was needed to organize a real political opposition to authoritarianism.
English
@LowBudgetMofo Marc Maron opened a standup special with "I don't know what he's gonna do next." That was pretty close.
English
We need a nightly news guy who comes on at 6:30 just shaking his head saying "I don't even know where to start"
