Exactly. Mr. Nixon is correct. Run on the policies, making life better for their constituents. The word socialism doesn’t hook people on the cusp. It’s politics, it’s not pure, but it gets the votes AND you really can make people’s lives better.
Richard M. NixonIf I were a so-called Democratic Socialist I would keep the policies according to when and where I was running but drop the word socialist.
Good heavens, people, just don’t use the word. That’s all

[Homer sits backwards on a chair] let me tell you about ANOTHER giant brute who was being beaten by Nobody
Some really encouraging Senate polls… 📍Georgia 🔵 Jon Ossoff: 56% 🔴 Mike Collins: 43% 📍North Carolina 🔵 Roy Cooper: 53% 🔴 Michael Whatley: 44% 📍Ohio 🔵 Sherrod Brown: 53% 🔴 Jon Husted: 45% 📍Iowa 🔵 Josh Turek: 50% 🔴 Ashley Hinson: 46% Keep organizing. Keep fighting.
But the ability to ruin the day/reputation of anyone who asks unwanted questions on a niche microblogging website is not going to translate into real political influence for progressives. Also, we should want to talk about these questions! It’s good to think things through!
The mode of politics being practiced here is “form a mob and go beat up people who aren’t fully on our side.” History tells us that mindset has a lot of appeal, it will attract people who like having an excuse to beat people up, it’s good at maintaining in-group loyalty.
I really, really despise this consistent narrative that Hollywood only made real movies 20 years ago. Doesn't matter what year it is, it's always 20 years ago when the real movie were made!
2026? The last "real" movies were made in 2006. 2016? The last "real" movies were made in 1996. 2006? The last "real" movies were made in 1986. 1996? The last "real" movies were made in 1976. PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SAYING THIS MY WHOLE LIFE. I hate it. 😂

One thing you can see in the latest Stancil blowup is that a sizable share of this website thinks that good intentions are the only thing that matter in policymaking, and expressing skepticism that a policy will really work as intended is equivalent to stealing food from the poor.
Hot take: A certain kind of American leftism is deeply culturally Protestant, even if it disbelieves in God, because of its preeminent focus on having the right inner mindset and intention and feeling properly guilty about one's moral failings to live up to a certain standard.

Sending a DM to say, "How hard is it to let go?" is next level tone deafness. 🤣
Woof, too real

this is basically an unheard of number and if it relates at all to voting intention in november the GOP is staring the apocalypse in the face

If you try to explain to them that helping republicans win just increases suffering with no upside, they’ll tell you you love genocide.
The left does to MLK's "white moderates" quote what the right does to his "content of their character" quote.
If your take on being trans is “woohoo I get to be a bully and nobody is allowed to stop me,” shut the fuck up and let the grownups talk.
I hold a special kind of loathing for trans women who think being trans women means they can be awful to cis men and if the cis men don’t like it that makes them bad people.
