@theswoderman @WhickTv @RyanCMullally Oh you missed my meaning. It’s because Ryan is selectively blind if I’m being charitable. Purposefully dishonest if I’m not.

@TheFirstPitch @WhickTv @RyanCMullally there are many easy answers to almost every question, doesn't mean that they are the correct answer!

Hey gang! TONIGHT 6pm EST we go LIVE! I'll be joined by @RyanCMullally and we're going to be talking about the SPLC Indictment. We're also gonna talk about the Trump assassination attempt that just happened and Red/Blue button discourse TUNE IN! Link below

@theswoderman @WhickTv @RyanCMullally I mean there’s a pretty easy answer to your last question lol

@WhickTv @RyanCMullally However it's very clear throughout the conversation that andrew is against women voting and would not allow it in his ideal society, I'm really not sure how Ryan missed that during his watch.

@thepondering_ @PhilipDBunn @JonahDispatch is good.

Brad's one of, like, 2 consistent conservatives I've ever encountered via social media The other, of course, being the Tweedmaster himself, Professor @PhilipDBunn

@paleochristcon @Drunkenpotatos1 @theswoderman @ReedHawk2 Would you agree with this statement: your J6 debate with Destiny didn’t get to any substance and didn’t really resolve anything.

@Drunkenpotatos1 @theswoderman @ReedHawk2 Ok let's go through my past debates and see if thats true. Ive done hundreds and hundreds of them. Name three where this has happened.

It not only resembles free speech but is free speech and freedom of association. Asmongold has a right to say what he wants and a right not to listen to a fucking word you have to say about it lol.

@NFLMemes Dude already qualified for his pension. Good deal.

Imagine waiting your entire life to hear your name called at the NFL Draft only for you to get selected with the thirtyfiveuth pick in a draft 10 years ago

@TomFooleryP @PiscoLitty Oh shit I am listening now and just got to the part where he pretends he doesn’t know what words mean.

I think he'd say Hasan is much closer to a Dem than MTG. Hasan at least said after the election that he voted for Kamala. He has endorsed other Dems like Mamdani or AOC. He shared more valued with Dems than with MAGA. I don't take issue with that part. But we had like a 5 hour conversation about this last night & I feel like a lot of this is self explanatory.

Beating a dead horse with @PiscoLitty talking about what people mean by "In the coalition." I think my definition is what people like Destiny & Hutch mean when they say it but Pisco disagrees. The criteria: "Inside the coalition" means we'd treat them as an ally & if they're "Outside" we'd likely treat them as an enemy. Who's "Inside?" 1. This discourse is about content creators (Not talking about politicians or viewers) 2. Their platform needs to be a NET BENEFIT to getting Dems elected (Especially in terms of defeating MAGA) not that they just say they vote for Dems or that they advocate for people to do so once in a while. (Meaning they can't spend most of their time shitting on Dems politicians & caveat just saying they're the lesser evil) 3. Their brand would have to meet a moral threshold (Meaning they can't be anti-semitic or a radical etc) If they meet this criteria, I'd view that person as "Inside the coalition." If you use this term, do you agree with this explanation?

@TomFooleryP @PiscoLitty I also think that Pisco gets confused because he handles it the right way but tends to take up the mantle for the people who don’t. If he ever talked to Hasan it would be adversarial and he would press him on not supporting Kamala. That’s all we’re asking for.

@LZatYT No chance.

Remember kids, "vote blue no matter who" is only yelled at the left. I seriously think we're going to see it not insignificant amount of liberals protest voting against Grand Platner when he wins the primary.

@DanielDenvir @BrianLehrer @hasanthehun Dude you didn’t talk about Hasan at all. All you did was deflect to Israel.

Just debated Third Way’s Jonathan Cowan on @BrianLehrer over fake @hasanthehun controversy. He was broken record, repeating antisemitism/anti-American smears. He couldn’t respond to anything and refused to say whether Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. wnyc.org/story/should-d…

@O0kala @RyanCMullally Hey dipshit show me where he responds to my questions and I avoid his?

@RyanCMullally @TheFirstPitch You made it 4 responses deep, Ryan. Das Amazin'!

Again - this is now the center left position. It has been normalized. Which means they cannot be allowed to regain power.

@RyanCMullally @O0kala lol you’re a clown. I answered all your questions you avoided mine.

@O0kala @TheFirstPitch I never learn my lesson.

@hasanthehun @jonfavs Go make your own party! Don’t campaign for Dems.

@jonfavs ik no one asked me or cares about my opinion but I dont want to be the spokesman for the dems either!

Zero people have tried to make Hasan Piker "the spokesman for Democrats." He showed up at one campaign event with one candidate in a primary and sat for some interviews. What's embarrassing is the number of people on here treating him like he's a 2028 contender or DNC Chair.

@tweetsfromstar I’m on your team but he’s on the NY Times and Pod Save. This is mainstreaming.

We're not mainstreaming him. He's a tankie. The whole "should we talk to Piker" seems like a coordinated move by his PR team. Nobody really cares about him.

@RyanCMullally @theswoderman Already told you my limiting principle. You aren’t engaging. Keep fighting the straw man!

@TheFirstPitch @theswoderman There it is. Glad you are at least admitting to a total lack of limiting principle.

@theswoderman @RyanCMullally Whatever evens out the absolute corruption and blatant theft of the court the Republicans have done.

@TheFirstPitch @RyanCMullally personally i think that dems should adjust the number of justices to have a more balanced court and then also pass a law making it harder (or even impossible) to change the number of justices again which avoids the problem of endless back and forth manipulation of the court

@RyanCMullally @theswoderman Then Republicans should stop misbehaving. Easy. Dems continue to give off-ramps. They aren’t going to unilaterally disarm. Republicans got 1 hit in. We get to hit back or Republicans can lower the temp. You don’t get to escalate and then say “whoa whoa you can’t respond!”

@TheFirstPitch @theswoderman Game it out. Seriously. If you all add 3, how many does the right add when they get power next? And so on. This is Pandora’s box.

@MattBruenig @sonofavondruk @KelseyTuoc Someone should just ask Hasan the question. I think he would make you look silly for defending him.

@sonofavondruk @KelseyTuoc An analogy would be if someone were to ask me something like "why do you think a significant minority of people are opposed to things like gay marriage, gay adoption, homosexuality" and I said "I think, for many, it is rooted in their religious beliefs."

Piker's views on theft are bad, but they really do pale in comparison to his views on murder: that the important thing about Brian Thompson's murder is that healthcare CEOs are 'engaging in a tremendous amount of social murder' due to 'the structural violence of 'poverty'

@MattLech Yes it was a softball question and a sneaky answer. Hasan would absolutely defend what Luigi did and not just the “reaction”

The centrists are being infantile again

@theswoderman @RyanCMullally Don’t destroy his straw man!!

@RyanCMullally @TheFirstPitch what about changing it by 1 or 2, which has been done several times before? no one is suggesting changing 25 so we can move on from that pretty easily
