@wideofthepost I want him to win just to see you guys continue to contort yourselves in pretzels to justify red flag after red flag. Anything a molecule to the right of you says this and you would be curled up into a ball sobbing

He said retarded, and not at or about someone with disabilities, but about the allegation that he's a secret nazi. That word was very casual for anyone in his age cohort––we're all striving to not use it because it can be unintentionally hurtful, but he did not use it as a slur.

Graham Platner, a candidate for U.S. Senate in Maine, offered this apology on Wednesday after he was quoted using a slur against people with intellectual disabilities in a recent interview. Click the following link for more on this story: wmtw.com/article/graham…

@Triple_Contact_ @shift_in2_turbo So then what happened when everyone else dropped and it was just Bernie and Biden and Biden romped to victory? Were those votes fake?
English
@reasonablebears @shift_in2_turbo Yup, people were definitely swayed by the persuasive ideas and words of Joseph Biden, the fifth-place candidate, to the point that people flocked to his side and organically made him the candidate, and anyone who thinks otherwise is “genuinely stupid”. You’re so right!
English
Then why did the DNC go to court and argue that they had the right to defy the will of the people and pick their own candidate?
tré easton@treeaston
Bernie broke y’all’s brains in many ways, but I am BEGGING for y’all to let go of the belief that the only reason he lost two successive primaries was because shadowy gatekeepers rigged it against him. Voters voted. He got fewer of them. In “the contest of ideas,” his lost.
English
@Triple_Contact_ @shift_in2_turbo Are you guys genuinely stupid? All they did was clear the way for Bernie and Biden to face off. And Biden annihilated him. This is not difficult to understand. Did the DNC force the dem primary voters to choose Biden by over 9 million votes?
English
@reasonablebears @shift_in2_turbo Biden was in fifth place when the party decided that he was going to be the nominee. You know we remember this stuff right

@reasonablebears @LSynnove @lizatliz When MTG is trotted out on the 2028 campaign trail, then you can start the comparison, bud. I think being anti-genocide is a more moral stance than anything Cheney ever stood for even if it comes from the wrong place.

Well she has what we call the ability to read the room
Kareem Rifai 🌐@KareemRifai
I'm going to go insane

@TognaBologna666 @LSynnove @lizatliz Supporting the reach across the aisle for Cheney is equivalent to supporting this move for MTG. But for leftists this is a great idea while the Cheney move was atrocious. Be consistent guy
CommodoreSchmidlapp🎩@TognaBologna666
@Pranklin_My_Boy @Wilson__Valdez Liz Cheney is pretty evil too. Look at the things she voted and advocated for in her time in congress lol
English
@reasonablebears @LSynnove @lizatliz Where did I argue that MTG didn’t have a consistent voting record with Trump? It’s dipshits like you that want to retcon Cheney’s career bc she jumped on the Harris train after she lost her seat lol
English
@wideofthepost x.com/wideofthepost/…
Please repeat this with MTG. Or do previous policy positions not matter now because one of the only leftists in Congress is now suggesting we reach across the aisle
austerity is theft@wideofthepost
Liz Cheney supported the Muslim ban in 2017 and voted against the No Ban Act in 2021.
English
Of course, the Cheney gambit was a massive failure for Harris because the only people who cares about what Liz Cheney has to say became Democrats a decade earlier. The people who follow MTG are disaffected Trump voters from last cycle. Only one gains you vote share.

Two events with Liz Cheney: 😡😡 A full throated embrace of Marjorie Taylor Greene and other MAGAs :😊😊

@Cybren @souljagoyteller That does not relate to what I said but cool nice
English
@reasonablebears @souljagoyteller Well no, the leftmost party possible would at minimum be concerned with fixing structural issues in American politics that allow a single senator from West Virginia from impeding the overall agenda
English
I don’t want this either. What I want is the leftmost possible party caucus passing the leftmost possible legislation through Congress
tré easton@treeaston
I’d put it a different way: the goal should be a national party brand that can span from Manchin to Mamdani, enabling Democrats to both sustain majorities and pass an agenda that’s coherent, but not necessarily ideological.
English
@umichvoter You don’t get it Bernie is entitled to running as the only leftist against a split moderate vote. Those are the rules
English
There was also a competitive two-way primary in Michigan which he's talking about
Bernie had a BIG rally with 10,000+ in Ann Arbor the weekend before
Sir Humphrey 🇺🇦@bdquinn
The thing where he complains about the moderate wing of the party consolidating its vote in the 2020 primary is appallingly stupid. The argument is more or less that Bernie should've been able to get the nomination with 30% of the vote.

@reasonablebears @DWoods53 @CoachPapaJohn Well I really want a BMW M4 but I settle for working my ass just to live paycheck to paycheck

Some irony Reddit leftist with a 400 person nfl draft big board as a side hobby/passion project will vehemently disagree with this

Work ethic is insane. They will out work you.

@DWoods53 @CoachPapaJohn It is a mark of pride. You should work your ass off for what you want

@CoachPapaJohn People reading that it's a mark of pride and not materialism in action

@pot8um You drop the car off and leave. You must be present for an office visit with another patient waiting for their appointment after yours. Bad comparison.
English
imagine taking your car in for repairs and the mechanic going “sorry but I’m only fixing one issue today”
…you’d be leaving a bad review and never going there again.
so why the FUCK is it acceptable for doctors to say that to patients at appts they waited months/years for?
English
Which bacteria is causing infection this time? Do we know if it has antibiotic resistances? Does it require IV antibiotics?
Is it even an infection this time or do you have bladder spasm? Interstitial cystitis? Nephrolithiasis?
If you think it's so easy go to medical school.
Hello it is me Kira :)🍉@kirabira
Someone in the mentions was saying how she has recurring UTIs but you can’t just say “I have a UTI,” they’ll ask you 30 questions, even though they can fucking see on your medical record you’ve had 5 UTIs in the last 6 months, STILL! Diagnostic investigation journey.

@Packers_Base ‘Clearly better’ is a stretch. Especially since Loveland was a rookie who was white hot down the stretch
English
Listen man, I think Loveland can be a star in this league. He showed a lot of potential & he’ll be great for Chicago. Why can’t both be great players!
Kraft is clearly better, but I’m in no way trying to disrespect Loveland. I think both are going to be star players.
Zen Bliss@bliss_zen
@Packers_Base @packersice I'll say the truth Tucker Kraft is probably the best receiving TE in the division. Loveland was a rookie and didn't really get going until halfway through the season. Can he elevate himself above Kraft ,Laporta , and maybe Hockinson ? Yes, he's as talented as all 3.

With all eyes fixed on the upcoming 2026 NFL Draft, this time of year presents an opportunity to look back at how teams handled themselves in 2025.
So, let’s redo the 2025 first round.

@thecomebackid41 @TheAthleticNFL @TheAthletic Sure but then he got absolutely worked in the playoffs game after game. Banks was better for most of the year and doesn’t have the awful end Campbell did

@HillcrestCardCo @magik4dummies What? I directly addressed how polling data is unreliable. Because if it was reliable, Trump would have gotten crushed in 16 instead of winning. Drink your coffee this morning?
English
@reasonablebears @magik4dummies I notice that instead of addressing the actual claims made, you are changing the subject to Donald Trump by bringing up two of the elections that he won, and one of the elections that trump only lost because he fumbled the initial covid response.
English
If Democrats cannot win without the support of voters on the left, and democrats choose to campaign against the left and reject policies embraced by voters the party needs to win, then democrats have chosen losing over representing voters they need to win
Paul Mulhern@PMMrv2014
@SkylarDarkfox @HillcrestCardCo @ramthebladeship Why did they lose genius? Because they were being attacked from both sides. You leftists are happy they lost. You’d rather have Trump in office than have a democrat not named Bernie sanders. Just admit it. Now we’re suffering the consequences.
