It’s fun watching voices who attacked anyone who even expressed difficulty voting because they didn’t want to support genocide turn around and encourage people not to vote because they might lose a primary. Hopefully this vote blue no matter who nonsense has been exposed at this point.

It would probably help things a lot if people wrapped their heads around the fact that "moderate influencers" like Matty Yglesias make a living reassuring wealthy people they aren't becoming increasingly right wing while preparing moderate middle class voters to become increasingly right wing.

The Stevens campaign has been one of the most shameful Democratic operations of the modern era. Thank god this thing is almost over, but if the party doesn’t take a look in the mirror after this debacle, and I’m sure they won’t, there’s a lot of pain and chaos coming down the road.

Chuck Todd shilling for a political prediction market like it’s college football is just so perfect and tells you everything you need to know about the kind of corporate media coverage that helped get us into this mess.

Probably a good sign that Democrats should continue doing exactly what they're doing when they're facing a historically unpopular president fighting a historically unpopular war during historically terrible economic conditions and they have approval ratings in the 30's and are dead-ass fucking broke

I swear to fucking god there aren’t enough paid tweets in the world to get this campaign across the finish line. If this isn’t the nadir of centrist Democratic fuckery I have serious, serious worries.

Way past time to start pressing political influencers and commentators on whether they accept funding and if they have artificially inflated follower and subscriber bases.

When a party alienates its base so badly that the base moves into electoral rebellion and the party goes into hyper-active defense and starts ratfucking to protect its power it always ends well for the party

Everyone’s so uptight. It’s very cool to have a candidate where shadowy groups have to pay people $1,500 a post to talk about their support for them. Feels good, man.

All of the signals and pressures, politically and economically, are trending toward a major escalation against Iran and no part of this situation lends itself to any kind of positive outcome. Shit feels like it’s about to get much worse.

Helps to understand what’s going on by starting with the fact that all the tech oligarchs have merged with the military industrial complex and that a global arms race and eventually all-out war where they sell the weapons of the future to everyone is the next step in leveling up.

Have to imagine breaking up OPEC as a load baring institution of American Empire, creating more divisions in the Middle East, and then setting Saudi Arabia up to enrich uranium as the entire economic and political structures of the region are being overturned is going to turn out well. Excited.

Have to imagine it's a complete coincidence that the same outlets publishing one piece after another talking about how extremely dangerous and unacceptable the Left is are also laundering genocide and normalizing targeting of trans people while featuring puff pieces on Far Right fascists.

Always get a kick out of people who, after all this time, are still penning articles and posting things like, "This is going to get a lot worse unless the Trump Administration changes course." My dude. They're not there to make things work. They're there to steal. Open your fucking eyes.
