But sure, we can pretend it's just a "college group chat" that's using Nazi language. We can pretend that the staffer-class of the GOP isn't proudly supporting Nazism.

Holy shit. This is Angelo Elia, a legislative correspondent for Congressman Dave Taylor.
According to @rooster.info, during a Zoom meeting today, he had an American nazi flag displayed in the background.

These are all flagrant lies, unsourced yet printed in a newspaper that allegedly fact checks things. The rest of it is meandering panic-bait that treats jail breaking LLMs. They don’t even describe the virus! They just said someone made one. Bullshit!

The institutional Democratic Party is basically a vehicle for rich donors to make sure that when public backlash to terrible Republican policies causes Republicans to lose, the opposition does as little damage to rich people’s interests as possible and cedes power back as quickly as possible

I realize I’m probably stating the obvious, and even worse I admit I don’t really know the solution to this: the reason liberal “strategists” keep reaching out to the right is because the right isn’t the side they see is their enemy. The right isn’t trying to get them all fired.

And I know we overuse the meme, but it applies: every time this happens, they go full Principal Skinner and insist it’s the children who are wrong. We know for a fact, Democrats want a younger, more progressive party, and the people in charge respond by seeing if Liz Cheney is free again.

The entire “Americans want pro corporate liberal centrism” project has failed, and an entire industry that runs on pretending otherwise is panicking. It isn’t just that they don’t want to move the party to the left; they don’t understand HOW to. They’ve literally never thought about it.

To be clear: this entire “we’ve got to run more pro-lifers” insanity is because literally a week ago polling showed that Democrats would prefer politicians like AOC and Mamdani over Jefferies and Schumer by, let me emphasize this, a 20 point fucking margin.

Former Rep. Tim Ryan seems to be enjoying the revolving door. In 2023, he made $246,943 at his part time job peddling fracked gas industry interests. In his spare time, he co-chairs the Bitcoin Policy Institute's lobbying arm, and lambasts Dems on-air for opposing crypto.
