Jacobin adopting Abundance politics means redefining “class war” (their words) to mean workers fighting to keep their own jobs or housing.” Class war isn’t fought against the ruling class or capitalists, but against “NIMBYs.” This is ofc why billionaires love “Abundance.”

Bill Maher drags his woke guest out of his liberal bubble and tells him to his face he’s why Kamala Harris lost. It all started when David Cross revealed his 9-year-old daughter has “trans friends.” “Wait, she has trans friends in third grade?” Maher asked. Cross replied: “Yep,” as if it’s completely normal and something society should embrace. That’s when Maher dropped the hammer and told him straight up that no, somebody’s doing something to that little girl. Cross immediately got defensive, but Maher refused to back down. He told Cross that believing a 9-year-old girl is deciding to be trans on her own is exactly the kind of liberal insanity that lost Kamala Harris the election in 2024. And if Democrats keep it up, JD Vance is going to win in 2028. By the end of this exchange, Cross is left sitting there looking like a deer in headlights, like he’s never been challenged on “trans kids” in his life. This is a moment worth watching, but if you’re somewhere you can’t play it, the transcript is below: MAHER: “You need to be checked. People need to be checked… including your little girl.” CROSS: “Fck that btch. (joking) Fck that little btch with her black friends and trans friends and not even understanding.” MAHER: “Trans?! Wait, she has trans friends in third grade?” CROSS: “Yep.” MAHER: “They know they’re trans in third grade?” CROSS: “Just the coolest kid.” MAHER: “[Is kid transitioning from] girl to boy?” CROSS: “Girl to boy. And she has another very close friend who’s not in the school, but who’s boy to girl at three years old.” MAHER: “A woman said [to me] ‘I was what they called a tomboy. If I was alive now and acted the way I did then, that’s what they would have done to me.’” CROSS: “Well, nobody’s doing this to her.” MAHER: “Well, I don’t know.” CROSS: “Literally nobody is doing this to her.” MAHER: “How old?” CROSS: “She is — or HE is — either eight or I think nine.” MAHER: “Okay, then somebody is doing something because eight or nine-year-olds can’t do anything on their own.” CROSS: “No, they’re buying them boys' clothes.” MAHER: “Well then, they’re doing something.” CROSS: “Sure. Yes, you’re right. They’re buying them boys' clothes.” MAHER: “And telling them you’re a boy now.” CROSS: “No, no, they’re not telling them. They’re just agreeing with [them].” MAHER: “Agreeing with an 8-year-old. Because when has their judgment ever been off at 8?” CROSS: “You know you knew you weren’t gay, right?” MAHER: “Yeah, that’s different.” CROSS: “It’s not different.” MAHER: “It is different. Good luck with President Vance. Because, as I always say to my woke friends, we voted for the same person. You’re just why she lost and this is a case of that.” CROSS: “Wait, what?” MAHER: “We voted for the same person…” CROSS: “Right.” MAHER: “You’re just why she lost. Because America hears this, and they’re going to go, ‘Bill’s right. Eight-year-olds can’t really make decisions on their own like this.’ That’s what most people are going to say.”

Give it a rest, David. Focus on rooting out the assassination culture and anti-American bile in your own once great party.
