    One of the problems I’ve always had with the left (I’m a queer-ass lefty) is they talk like a cover letter written by AI. They’re treading carefully, trying to appeal to everyone, and sound like the soulless middle managers they are. The most iconic thing Kamela said, to me, is when she called the republicans weird.

    I hope things like this become more common. I want to hear what people really think so I don’t feel like I’m going crazy alone. Be more like Bernie. Hell. I would love it if Bernie dropped some fuck yous and bitch asses.

      I just wouldnt call those ghouls “left”. They are center right as far as the rest of the world is concerned. Their job is to maintain the status quo and make sure rich people stay rich and poor people stay poor. They only act out now because their comfortable public money funded jobs are in danger.

    Elon Musk is EVIL. He is dumb, arrogant, a dick, and a bad parent, but a lot of people are those things. What sets him apart is he is EVIL. Evil has no place on MY planet. That’s what you need to be telling yourself.

    He’s not wrong, but I don’t know what it’s going to accomplish when the GOP and their supporters have no shame

        It annoyed them a bit but it didn’t really dissuade people from supporting Trump and Vance, and I think they’d mind the label “dick” even less than that, so again I don’t really know what it’s going to accomplish. People were told they’re fascists, told they’re weird, they didn’t care then, they won’t care now.

          This isn’t for Trump supporters, though. It’s for Democrats. If you think that the goal is to win over Trump voters, then you’ve already lost. Mocking and demoralizing your opponents is one of the tools from the Trump tool kit, and it’s one that most Democrats are too nice to use.

          Calling the schoolyard bully a dick is a small step, but at least it’s in the right direction.

    “Do you think only calling out democrats when they use harsher language is effective journalism?”
