Depressing to see just a single blue state on this list. NIMBYism on the left is such a self-sabotaging ideology.

@ELtinyhippo @LinkofSunshine “Wanted the Ellen crowd” was a euphemism. They wanted a sanitized version for the masses and ran with that because they had a lot of visibility. Snoop Dogg makes clean versions of songs too, but he never stopped making dirty versions like Black Eyed Peas did.

@mikeconvente @LinkofSunshine Not true, it was the NBA that caused the switch when they used a custom clip for NBA finals and BEP re-recorded as let’s get it started
English
I’m not kidding, I’ve genuinely only ever heard the radio version where it’s replaced with “let’s it started in here” every time
What the fuck is this
Rock@TheCensoredRock
The elites don’t want you to know this song exists and that it used to be played on the radio

The one thing I will admit to enjoying about the new anti-woke trend is that it has brought with it a permission structure to finally publicly admit that the median American is incredibly fucking stupid and seems to have no theory of mind even for themselves.

If you have the basic skills to participate in the discourse at all — like you can read and comprehend a New York Times article in order to complain about it — you’re in a weird, out of touch, elite bubble. slowboring.com/p/in-defense-o…

Just voted YES at City Hall in Portsmouth and was voter #2,316 already! Virginians are excited to get out and vote YES to stand up to Donald Trump and enact our 10-1 map!

Americans really, really do not like progressive ideology.
They liked liberal ideology. When liberalism gave way to progressivism, Americans started to walk away.
The Missing Data Depot@data_depot
New YouGov report on American partisanship between 2007 and 2025 shows that with the one exception of college educated white men, every major demographic group in the US has become more Republican on balance over the last 20 years.

Yes. Many Democrats live in a blue cultural bubble in which 2010s progressivism is the new normal. But outside that bubble, 2010s progressivism is considered radical and extremist. One reason Dems can't moderate is that they think they already ARE moderates.
Ramez Naam@ramez
Thinking about this more in relation to @Noahpinion and others' feeling that progressives / "leftists" have supplanted "liberals". Independents and Republicans see Dems as much further left in self-identification than the average Dem sees themselves. Distorted views here. Dems and Independents have much more accurate views of how Republicans self-identify.

@mikedlong5150 @minesce23 @SenLouiseLucas @MarkWarner I care about what happens to this country. And that means Republicans must be out of power forever, at least until they are no longer MAGA (which good luck with that...)
Repubs started this with Texas in the mid-2000s. You're just mad Dems aren't being pussies this time. FAFO.
English
I live in Virginia
I care about what happens in Virginia
I voted with democrats in 2020 to ensure that runaway gerrymandering didn’t happen again IN Virginia
I could give to shits about Wisconsin. If I live there and start voting there, I’ll care about what happens in Wisconsin.

Anyone against our redistricting efforts to stand up to Donald Trump doesn’t share our values as Democrats. If you want to oppose redistricting you picked the wrong primary to run in. BTW I endorse @MarkWarner.
Mark Moran for U.S. Senate@itsmarkmoran
I’m going to say this despite what it will do to me politically - I think the Virginia redistricting is extremely anti-democratic and that it is a reactionary policy to Donald Trump that was created by DC consultants… In 2020, 66% of Virginians voted for bipartisan maps…the new maps slice up Arlington and take away the voice of everyone outside of northern Virginia… In every local democratic committee I’ve been in, when this issue comes up, nobody can defend it, it’s just “well this is what the party says is best.” NO. The Democratic Party loses because of reactionary maneuvers and because it doesn’t have a big bold vision for the future. They say it’s “temporary” but FOUR years of gerrymandering isn’t “temporary” and because I value our constitutional republic over all else… I’ll be voting NO and I encourage everyone else to, but I can’t hold my tongue any longer despite what this will do to me with the Dems in Virginia
English
@perchance99 @SenLouiseLucas @MarkWarner Then you're a hypocrite piece of trash. You don't care when voters are disenfranchised in Texas, because they are Democrats. Now that you're getting a taste of your own medicine, you protest like a brat. FAFO. Get Repubs to agree to nationwide gerrymandering ban. Otherwise, STFU.

@mikeconvente @SenLouiseLucas @MarkWarner What happens in Texas has no bearing on my representation in Virginia.
English
@mikedlong5150 @minesce23 @SenLouiseLucas @MarkWarner Show me where you cared about this when it was Wisconsin and Republicans in control? FAFO.
English
@minesce23 @SenLouiseLucas @MarkWarner So to do that you have to silence 47% of the people in Virginia? Tell me when that has ever been fair.

@SenLouiseLucas @MarkWarner Cry more, Cupcake.
Your gerrymandering theft of Republican districts is in trouble. We Virginians are VOTING NO!!!

@notcapnamerica These are Australians talking about being MAGA. If that doesn't tell you it's a race-based movement, then I don't know what else could. I wish I had screenshot the post I saw the other day about somebody seeing Confederate flags while traveling through Canada.
