In the last week @elonmusk has been caught cheating in a video game to try and appear "cool" to gamers, and then he followed it up by showing his entire racist asshole by doing a literal Nazi salute live on camera twice. What a sad fucking pathetic loser.

Several years ago, when things were bad as they are now, I made a comic about art and community in the face of hate. Today feels like a time to reshare. 1/5

WHY DID SHE DELETE THIS?! she is spitting facts

so please, tell me why adding "istan" makes it funny. What does that suffix mean, and why is it a put down?

@angel_0f_deathx I can only hope it's as effective for you as it is for me. Y'all deserve it right now

gonna try this coping mechanism called recreational drug use. will report back

Just seems appropriate today.

Democrats: "We don't need you!" also Democrats: "You're the reason we lost!"

This. So much this. Harris lost 15 million votes compared to Biden in 2020. It's absolutely daft to assume that ALL third party votes would go to Harris and even if they had she would still have lost. Stop looking for a scapegoat. This is 100% on the Democratic Party.

A little bit of good news on a dark day

All the takes are correct and yet they also miss the point. Yes, it was insane for the Democrats to think they could win by running a soulless candidate, without a shred of progressive policy vision, pursuing endorsements from neocon war-hawks everybody hates, while arming and funding a genocide, and belittling and crushing those who have enough morality to protest it.  It is enraging that the Democrats are so smug and blind to this. But these are all just symptoms.  The deeper reality is that liberalism has failed, liberalism is dead, and people urgently need to wake up to this fact and respond accordingly. It is a defunct ideology that cannot offer any meaningful solutions to our social and ecological crises and it must be abandoned. Democrats have proven over and over again that they cannot accept even *basic* steps like public healthcare, affordable housing, and a public job guarantee - things that would dramatically improve the material, social and political conditions of the working classes. And they cannot accept a public finance strategy that would steer production away from fossil fuels and toward green transition to give us a shot at a liveable future. Why? Because these things run against the objectives of capital accumulation. And for liberals capital is sacrosanct. They will do whatever it takes to ensure elite accumulation, it is their only consistent commitment.  At home, they suppress and demonize progressive and socialist tendencies. Abroad, they engage in endless wars and violence to suppress input prices in the global South and prevent any possibility of sovereign economic development. The Democrats have done all this purposefully and knowingly, for my whole life, not as some kind of "mistake" but in full consciousness that it is in the interests of capital. And because liberalism cannot address our crises, and because it crushes socialist alternatives, it inevitably paves the way for right-wing populism.  They know this pattern, and yet they risk it every time - this election being only the most recent example. They did it in 2016, when they actively crushed the Sanders campaign and sent Trump to the White House. They do it because ultimately they (and I mean the liberal ruling class here) don't really mind if fascists take power, so long as the latter too ensure the conditions for capital accumulation. They 100% prefer this to the possibility of a socialist alternative. So, progressives have to face reality. The dream of "converting" the Democratic party is dead. This is now a fact and it must be accepted. The only option is to build a mass-based movement that can reclaim the working classes and mobilize a political vehicle that can integrate disparate progressive struggles into a unified and formidable political force and achieve substantive transformation. This will take real work, actual organizing, but it must be done and that process must begin now.

Always and forever.

Sarah McBride becomes the first openly transgender person in history to be elected to U.S. Congress.

The worst guy you know has made an excellent point

I laughed too hard at this ngl

Can we not with this? Regardless of your opinion of Jill Stein (she wasn't a good option either) even if all of those votes were for Harris she'd still be behind on that poll. Stop looking for scapegoats because the person you voted for punted an easy election away

Damn I was sure the Dick Cheney endorsement and most lethal military stuff was gonna push Kamala to a sweeping victory.
