we have to disassemble and dissolve the democratic party and save the few socialists forced to run underneath their party. it's a dead, useless corpse shambling on to its next political loss. a complete and utter failure composed largely of people just clocking in to keep their salaries.

The “they made me take down my posts critical of them platforming a Nazi but I won’t resign because that’s giving up space” line was just…my man, the space is ash. There’s nothing left to hold on to.

It is endlessly wild to me that, in 2025, so many Politics Knowers simply accept what is put in front of them. "Oh, we're talking about teenage trans girls playing sports, ok!"

Why? Why are we talking about that & not something else? Who decided we're talking about that, and why?
