@WhickTv Sure. If it’s your usual stream time I should be free any day.

@brilivs Well, do you wanna come talk about it next week on stream? What days are you free?

"Anti White racism on the Left is a real problem and we need to fix it" Who'd disagree? And who'd wanna come on my show next week to talk about it?

@WhickTv @TheOmniLiberal Probably FARA investigations and prosecutions, alongside strengthening laws regarding advancing the agenda of adversaries without blatant disclosure. The current paradigm of “let everyone speak sunlight is the best medicine for misinfo” has been irrevocable damaging to country.

@TheOmniLiberal We gotta talk about how many influencers, podcasters, and yes even politicians are just doing Russias bidding And what we should do about that fact.

bruh what the fuck

@PiscoLitty @thepondering_ That would also make packing the court, and anything else in the next Dem agenda much easier to pass. It should be 1.) abolish the filibuster 2.) add all inhabited US territories as new states to be immediately admitted. 3) raise the cap of house members to 490 4.) pack SCOTUS.

@PiscoLitty @thepondering_ I’d rather add 9-10 solid democratic senators, and upping the 435 cap up to 490, then we’d have 600 legislators and 165 extra electoral votes than just 5 new justices, with a bipartisan nomination process.

The movement is spreading thanks to me and @thepondering_ 😉😉! Based Transportation Mayor.

@BriannaWu @mattyglesias Two words, town meeting. Local government is far too powerful of veto point and give localities far too much policy making power. I mean just look at the MBTA housing bill the state acknowledged a need for housing but every suburb of Boston fought tooth and nail with BS lawsuits.

@mattyglesias I live here and have a tough time squaring this circle. Democrats control everything. We have not made any significant process on housing or public transportation. I love our party, but I don’t understand what’s stopping us other than control by the powerful interests.

@PiscoLitty @SenSchumer @RepJeffries Only a single year??? I’m was thinking 20+, current leadership is not going hard enough right now.

WE HAVE BEEN IN A CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS FOR OVER A YEAR AS TRUMP STEALS CONGRESS’ POWER: APPROPRIATION, TARIFFS, WAR, MORE. @SenSchumer @RepJeffries CALL FOR IMPEACHMENT NOW OR *STEP ASIDE.* WE NEED NEW LEADERS.

IMPEACH AND REMOVE — FAKE PRESIDENT TRUMP TRIES TO STEAL CONGRESS APPROPRIATION POWER. TYRANT MUST BE BROUGHT TO HEEL.

@oncloud_e It would be a crime against humanity to go out before knowing what the One Piece is.

@BriannaWu Cus kids doing sports is a good thing we should encourage regardless of their sex? Also sex advantage isn’t even relevant until like high school when sports actually start to mean stuff. It’s only controversial because republicans are degenerate subhumans with no empathy.

What I genuinely don’t understand about the trans girls in sports question is how it’s serving them developmentally. The public is overwhelmingly against trans women and sports. That’s just the truth. So if the goal is to give these young women normal experiences with friends and socialization, how was putting them in a situation where they’re instantly controversial and considered a threat by many of the other girls helpful developmentally? Pick literally anything else to do. Dance, the social scene, fashion, yearbook, the school newspaper. It’s not like there are not other social avenues. I hardly had a normal childhood. But I did spend an insane amount of time around girls my age. Looking back, the stuff that was so helpful was just hanging out with girls and understanding the social dynamics. I don’t think I would’ve gotten that if I were in the situation of competing with those girls instead of just vibing. I’m just not convinced putting them in the situations serves anyone.

@alonberk @BriannaWu Fine by me. If they want to make fun of themselves by implying they are, in fact, retarded, they can knock themselves out, preferably until 2029.

@brilivs @BriannaWu Nice, a reply that both Democrats and Republicans will like. Well done

Trans sisters, this is not hard to understand. This is the American electorate. 27 percent Republican 27 percent Democrat 43 percent Independent If trans public policy is moderate and based in medical science, we win. The goal is not to bargain with bigots, it’s to win over normal people.

@mattyglesias I mean the logic should have been, the GOP controls the government via majorities in both chambers and the presidency, we shouldn’t help them pass legislation. Idk why we have to structure our government so that the opposition party is necessary to pass legislation.

@WhickTv @ShaneTe12455399 The line is already pretty bright, if people are having trouble seeing that, not a “Dems need to try harder problem” but a Americans being stupid problem

@brilivs @ShaneTe12455399 This is one of several reasons I wont vote for republicans. I also wouldnt vote for Jay Jones, same reason. Lets keep a bright clear line between us and them.

He doesn't deserve to win.

@WhickTv @ShaneTe12455399 Like maybe don’t text edgy jokes to your former coworkers and just keep those bangers in your head.

@WhickTv @ShaneTe12455399 Not even close to disqualifying in our current era of politics, Republicans talk like that all the time. He didn’t threaten anybody directly, he made an edgy joke about shooting a Republican over Hitler in a hypothetical. The bad thing about this is his lack of professionalism

@mattyglesias Best example is the phase MA went through electing Republican Governors like Weld, Cellucci, Romney, and Baker,then also returning Dem supermajorities in the legislature.

@BradRTorgersen @cnctNow @janecoaston Did you have a fucking stroke guy what the fuck are you saying. Being in opposition to something is not inherently its own ideology in and of itself.

@brilivs @cnctNow @janecoaston Anti-anything is its own ideology. Which is why atheism should not be defined according to the anti-theists who make it their business to war with believers. The anti is the key.

it is not a cult. "religions you do not like" are not cults. cults are specific groups with specific characteristics (isolating members from their families, demanding money, fostering environments in which people cannot question the leader/ideology)

@cnctNow @BradRTorgersen @janecoaston A true believer has incentives to disregard information that challenges their existing beliefs, in the same way a persons bad experiences can negatively bias them against the faith. Solid epistemic practice tells us to source information from a variety of sources, then evaluate.

@cnctNow @BradRTorgersen @janecoaston Yes, when researching an ideology, you want to both inquire about it from both opponents and detractors, as well as looking at the source material itself. Saying that detractors have motives to lie is fine, I’m not taking them at face value, but I can say the same for believers.
