Democrats say = these two Congressmen who hate the left, but pay for lunch.
A thing that annoys me about the Axios newsletter is that the tone is consistently “I am one of the top experts on this thing I learned about five minutes ago.” Also that they have 280 sources in the White House but their only source on the left is Rep. Capitulate Middle (D).

Debs also if he had a path to the White House this clear would be laser focused on seizing power. He was about using what he had available to achieve things see the Great Railroad Strike.

This is the first time ever that a socialist of any kind has a route to the Presidency.

So if you haven’t engaged with these sorts of influencers before, welcome to Blueanon, which is basically Qanon sans Trump.

Same conspiracy nonsense but with the aesthetic of progressives. It is toxic and dangerous.

BlueAnon (the putatively liberal version of QAnon) is 100% a thing and it’s important for us to acknowledge that and try to root it out.

not that it's not a complex issue but it drives me *insane* that we've been watching the world set itself on fire over the past decade or so partly because of people quite suddenly going from Not Very Online to Way Too Online and governments now want to recreate that experience with teens everywhere

Remember that the bans on under 16s for social media should really be bans for over 60s who cannot handle the internet.
This was a minor story on London news this morning - but suspect is a real cautionary (and alarming) tale of an older man getting radicalised online.

Since the government is about to introduce a social media ban for under-16s based largely on vibes – and Jonathan Haidt's shitty book – in the hopes it boosts its popularity (it won't), I'll re-up this.

If we're banning under-16s, why not over-60s?
On almost everything – fraud, polarisation, radicalisation, misinformation – evidence suggests that over 60s are in much more urgent need of online protection and education than teenagers.

But that issue gets zero political attention, and is a total non-starter. Nothing good will come of it.

Matt Goodwin said in a post on X: “Welcome to the UK. Where you go to prison for 18 months for anti-immigration tweets. This is insane.”

No. What is insane is shrugging off incitement to racial murder.

I do find myself getting increasingly radicalised on stuff like this. The government has just shown no interest in holding its allies accountable, regardless of their behaviour, particularly when it comes to those committing misogynistic violence.

The reason people should be pushing their ideal 2028 candidates for US president is because that is what you should always be pushing for before a presidential primary.

Why would you waste years pushing for a self admitted less than ideal candidate for years before you need to accept the nominee?

Contrapoints is at it again so I think it's important to say that one of the big failures of the last 15 years of left and liberal politicsi within the broad mainstream sphere has been an abandonment of hope and imagination.
