a couple of years ago, whenever i'd say that joe biden should be doing this or that, i would get responses from his supporters explaining that the president can't just do whatever he wants. he has to follow all these rules and norms and laws and such, apparently

pretty funny that he waited just long enough for it to not matter anymore and also for it to damage the house minority leader completely forever

Well sure the more left wing party won this time but imagine this hypothetical future scenario I made up and then you’ll see, YOU’LL ALL SEE!

Yes, Plaid Cymru, won this time, but give the slagging off Labour has endured since before they even won the last General Election, my guess is it will be ReformUK next G.E. and Farage will be our own little Trump.
Maybe then the voters will see, too late, that it is Labour that is on their side.

This is an utterly nonsensical way to report the really relieving news that Plaid Cymru, a party which espouses all sorts of liberal values including trans rights, etc. (and which isn't even mentioned in this headline!!!) won the election by a 47% landslide, well ahead of Reform as well as Labour.

Amazing

Reuters: Britain's ruling Labour Party suffered a heavy electoral defeat in Wales, a traditional stronghold, in a result that highlights the threat posed by the Reform UK party, as the government struggles to revive the economy and ease fears about immigration

If Labour is continuing to lose votes, just got 11% in a by-election in a seat they've held for 100 years and in a few recent polls is equal to or just behind the Greens maybe we should stop suggesting they're the only thing that can defeat Reform.

Well, I must say, I thought I'd seen everything the trans elimination era had to offer, but this is a new one: the beachhead of institutional anti-trans sentiment in Australia now seems to include, as a significant component, two cis-led LGBTQIA+ orgs

This feels like it’s going to be a massive disaster on so many levels it’s going to be wild to watch and I’m going to probably hate every second of the discourse on it.

It's interesting how when google glass first came out, Google at least tried to *pretend* its main use case wasn't for perverts and gestapo. They were like, look doctors can use this, architects! Augmented reality plumbers!

Zuckerberg can't even be fucked to pretend it has any non-evil uses.

"Not one senator said Platner’s tattoo or other controversies were disqualifying, and several acknowledged he’s bringing excitement to a party that has been struggling in the political wilderness since President Donald Trump took back power in January."

da fuc is wrong with these people

Senate Democrats tread lightly on Maine primary as new poll shows Graham Platner leading Janet Mills

Despite recent controversies, Platner has a huge lead in a recent poll and is drawing big crowds, while the two-term governor Mills is counting on her experience and achievements.

You might say this will, among other problems, look weirdly lopsided, but I think the obvious implication is he's totally planning to do the West Wing next.

The Platner stuff is evidence that people don’t want authenticity, they want certain signifiers of what they believe authentic proletariat look like. He’s a private school graduate who volunteered to serve in an imperial expeditionary force for fun and got a Nazi tattoo, can we be real here.
