aren't those literally the only two independents, and left-leaning independents at that? let's talk about Lich McConnell, or Chuck Grassley. you know, the octogenarians in the Senate who are making the country worse.

neopopulism sounds like a polite way of saying "the stupidity of the masses." Trump is only using it to keep his grift going, while Biden is trying desperately to balance giving people what they want and what they want being dumb and harmful.

neoliberalism failed because the end result of capitalism is always the consolidation of wealth in as few hands as possible. racism & xenophobia & "open borders" or whatever the fuck has nothing to do with it. the problem is capitalism, not globalism.

could you quit reminding me that most Americans are racist like you're proud of it?

ok so "Democrats saved Mike Johnson" but MORE REPUBLICANS voted to protect him than Democrats?!

AND WHY ARE THE INDEPENDENTS IN THE SENATE COUNTED IN RED?!

seems like a bit of a reach to go from "a handful of examples of liberals bending over for conservatives" to "bipartisanship is normal"

also shut up, you've been warbling about "wE'rE nOt As PoLaRiZeD aS yOu tHiNk!" for fucking YEARS

bipartisanship (noun): when progressives help conservatives succeed legislatively, and conservatives tell progressives "good job, thanks"

bipartisanship (noun): when conservatives get what they want

also way to bolster the "Liz Warren, fake progressive" narrative, we definitely need more blurbs like this about the most intelligent & capable left-wing women in politics 🙃

I feel like this explains a lot about what's so ulcer-inducing about the NYT Morning newsletter

WHAT THE FUCK. THIS IS TREASON. IMPEACH ALITO IMMEDIATELY.

I HATE EVERYTHING AND I DON'T WANT TO BE ALIVE ON THIS PLANET

FUCKING WHY?! why would liberal politics ever be a challenge for anyone but a malignant fascist shit stain? any NBC reporter that finds liberal politics "challenging" can walk their fashy ass over to Fox News where they'll have an easier time lying to people in service of billionaires.

a) if they voted for him in 2020 they WILL vote for him again

b) he's a strongman, not a strong leader. BIG difference, and the fact that these idiots don't know the difference is exactly why they vote for him

y'all I don't know if I can do this

take note of this: Bibi says Gaza must be razed & Hamas obliterated because it's a threat to Israel's existence. Yet he specifically supported Hamas taking control - so he would have an excuse to then wipe Palestine off the map.

oh he has a long-term plan for the territory. and that plan is the extermination of Palestinians and the eradication of a Palestinian state.

oh good, so stochastic terrorism worked in Israel and the GOP/Trump is using all the same tactics now, how reassuring for our future 🙃

NYT Morning headline: "How Israeli extremists won"

well for starters you keep calling them "settlers" when they're clearly invaders... even "colonizers" is too nice for this behavior. pro-tip: you can't "settle" land that already belongs to someone else.

we need to get that cell into human men ASAP.
