I’m a squirrel who hates fascists and the moderates who tolerate them. Save the trees, I need them for stuff. Don’t touch my nuts without my permission.

@themeasuredtake @mistergeezy Obama and Biden were both immediately replaced with Trump also. Like, how can you maintain that your way of governing is superior when people chose Trump TWICE immediately after your administrations?
English
@mistergeezy Clinton was 1993-2001, times have changed. Obama ran as a progressive, moved to the center after winning. Biden won because of COVID.
English
Clinton, Obama, and Biden all won as centrists.

Al Gore lost in 2000 as a centrist. John Kerry lost in 2004 as a centrist. Hillary lost in 2016 as a centrist. Kamala lost 2024 as a centrist. If we’re going to win the 2026 midterms, we must abandon centrism all together. If the Democratic Party is to survive we must go left

You were literally in the Oval Office 13 days ago, you can't just pretend to go 'Woah, bro, the world's so crazy' and act like some nobody stoner dude!

Joe Rogan: “The whole Epstein thing is so crazy that no one’s gone to jail for that. No arrests, no one’s being brought in. Meanwhile, Comey is getting arrested for a photo of seashells that say 8647. This is a crazy thing to arrest someone for. It sets a crazy precedent”

@cineburk @behindthenet @Troutski__ People could also afford houses working the phone line at Jc Penny during that 20 year period lol the point is the costs are out of control now
English
@MerleSquirrel @behindthenet @Troutski__ California's population grew from ~10m in the 1950s to ~20m in the 1970s. The postwar boom was fueled by people moving *to* the state. So yes, people should find a place where there are jobs and affordable housing and move to it, instead of whining about prices where they are.

I have a degree from Cal and couldn't afford my own 100yr old studio apt in Oakland until I was 32. My parents didn't graduate college and bought their first home at 25 off my dad's retail assistant manager salary. Was it because I have a cell phone and they didn't?

“We've stopped making babies. We've decided that being distracted by a dopamine hit around Candy Crush might be a good way to spend your time. Not if you're a full human," former Sen. Ben Sasse says in an extended interview. cbsn.ws/4cA1Jrp

Incredible how “white guy making this series of faces” has been the official Republican Party platform for my entire life

Wow Scott Jennings blows up at Adam Mockler: “Get your fucking hand out of my face” Mockler: We all know that Scott Jennings is more than happy to defend a war with a country that starts with letters Ira that we are currently failing that is going to put us trillions and trillions of dollars more in debt. I was only a few years old while you were in the administration defending prior endless wars.

yeeees I will buy my biyearly Chevy traverse that's the size of a suburban with a 1.5 liter turbo hybrid and an 11 speed dct with a 22 inch flatscreen that reports my every move to aipac and watches my eyes for signs of disagreeing with Israel

@cineburk @behindthenet @Troutski__ My point is that it’s logistically difficult for people who aren’t struggling to relocate their lives, let alone people already struggling. And that doesn’t even mention the fact that you’re telling people to just leave their homes and lies they’ve built.
English
@MerleSquirrel @behindthenet @Troutski__ Hundreds of thousands of people live and work in South Dakota and are doing just fine. Not sure what your point is.
English
@cineburk @behindthenet @Troutski__ “Hey boss, thanks for the job and all here in the place I live and where my life is, do you mind if I just work remotely from South Dakota? It’s way cheaper to live there.”
English
@behindthenet @Troutski__ In 1983, the average mortgage interest rate was 13%. If the house were $36k, that's $455/mo, which would be like $1,500 in 2026. There are plenty of places in the US where you can get a house with a $1,500 mortgage for 15 years ($183,000).

@zackoryk If you’re so confident that your ideas are better than you should have no problem winning the primaries, idk why y’all are so pressed about the democratic process, this is what it is lol We aren’t going to stop fighting for what we believe no matter how much y’all don’t like it🤷

If you hate Democrats, then don’t run as a Democrat. Build the DSA and leave us alone! Girl, bye!
adri ♡@socialistadri
.@chrisrabb explains that while he is running as a Democrat, he is Democratic Socialist. He clarifies that while the system makes is forcing him to run as a Democrat, he is very different from the other candidates who also identify as Democrats. He is different. 🔥

@trouble_man90 Centrists don’t celebrate when they win primary races?
do you hear yourself?
English
Leftists are celebrating like Platner has already won the senate race because their goal is defeating liberals, not republicans.
hasanabi@hasanthehun
all jokes aside, graham platners success in maine is an amazing data point for left populist bernie-crats being electable in purple states. from m4a to stopping israel- centering the working class in your politics clearly works. total defeat of third way neoliberal thought.

I remember when the left criticized the Biden admin for not making voting rights a priority when they had the House, Senate and WH and they screeched at us and told us to stop criticizing him.

The left has some good ideas, but they can't win elections outside small deep-blue districts. Okay, they can defeat a political dynasty in a mayoral primary, but they'll never get a mandate in a city-wide election. Sure, they got a mandate, but that's in New York City. It's not like they'll win in the New Jersey suburbs. Looks like the left won in the New Jersey suburbs, but they can't win state-wide races in purple states. Okay, they defeated the sitting Maine governor, but it's not like they can win...

Schumer and Gillibrand sure know how to pick 'em. Glad they're still in charge of everything, based on their incredible judgment.

@BenjaminPDixon @groove_sdc Ben, do you not know what Hasan says to black people when they step out of line? Minorities when he disagrees with them? Have you not heard the entire clips in context?

Actually we don’t support placing Black women in hostile spaces for shits and giggles.

How chaotic would it be if Hasan Piker had Kamala Harris on the show?
English
It’s so funny how Indignant these people are about typical internet behavior.
People on Twitter are going to dunk and clown that’s what Twitter is for. You’re extrapolating that onto the left writ large because your preferred candidate lost and you’re butthurt over it.
Matthew Yglesias@mattyglesias
Something you're seeing today is that one of the signature characteristics of the left insurgents is they are very graceless about winning. They got what they wanted in Maine, but instead of pivoting to bring people in and beat Susan Collins they're doing ongoing factionalism.

One of his final acts: A book repudiating progressive Dems, who he says have “embraced an agenda that goes beyond what’s politically acceptable.” One of his regrets: "I won’t see the continued implosion of Donald Trump.” Read the full interview 👇 politico.com/news/2026/04/2…

Dems literally controlled all three branches of government under Biden and did so little with it that they lost to the president with the lowest approval rating in modern history. There's literally nobody else to blame for Democrat losses except the Democratic Party itself.
