Just a below average idiot that mostly comments for one of 3 reasons:

Catharsis, expressing exasperation over the general state of things.

Looking to make someone laugh.

Self deprecation.

  • This fuckbag went to the same highschool as me...

    My class was about 900 kids. 450 graduated. That should tell you something about the general intelligence of the people of that area. I work in a factory now, I'm no exception.

    Democrats: Sorry, we'll talk a big game and then just have 2 fuckwit Senators ruin everything. Don't worry though I promise next time will be the same!

  • The Truth Too Many Democrats Need to Hear

    Jump

  • Democrats: BUT THE ECONOMY IS BETTER!! Shut up with your ignorant "bad economy" THE STOCK MARKET IS UP!! Yeah yeah a single person spends almost $100/week on groceries not even enough to last the week and wages haven't moved much for low earners unless I aggregate as many sectors as possible and show a compiled list of averages, BUT THE STOCK MARKET!! So what if your wage didn't increase much, the chart says it did!!!

    Also Democrats: how are we tone deaf?

  • AOC denounces anyone engaging in online vitriol after Trump’s victory — Democrats included

    Jump

  • I don't think I'm saying it's useless to try, I just separated fascism and authoritarianism (maybe being too pedantic) I'm saying "we" that want progressive policy aren't the majority opinion of Democrats and we depress ourselves when we have delusions of it being otherwise only to find election results and the literal opinions of our neighbors proving otherwise.

    I still vote and hope others do, but I think we need to be more realistic about what the rest of "the party" really wants.

  • I just don’t see how that’s a logically sound plan that has any chance of stopping fascism

    I don't see any way of stopping fascism in America. By some definitions we've been living in fascist America for a long time we just haven't had an authoritarian leader yet. The state uses the violence of the police force to crush leftist protest. The media enforces all belief in corporate interests depending on the media product you're consuming. Some still toss a bone on occasion by pointing out wealth disparity but always denigrate policies aimed at correcting it.

    I don't want the Democrats to move right yet again, but if that's what people want then we aren't the majority. I want a party that isn't Democrats. We're not moving them from within, that hasn't worked at all.

  • Unfortunately where I'm from (the self centered shithead part of NY) moving to the right is EXACTLY what they want... I've had no shortage of people tell me they only voted for Kamala because she dropped the progressive stuff and was taking on Republicans in her cabinet. Of course the propagandists have done a wonderful job this cycle associating progressives with antisemitism so that did wonders for us too....

    I think we just need to accept that America is a far right country and we're the miniscule minority that wants change... I was already depressed about the result but then hearing just how many selfish bootlickers are out there made it even worse.

    A Warren Buffet Quote that applies to Trump

    Jump

  • Trump only cares about Trump.

    He hires people now that he knows will do what he says and what he says they should do will almost universally be motivated by self interest. I honestly think he felt a bit intimidated the first time so he hired some "insiders" to help, but now it's all sycophants. It's one of the things I hate most about him. He's apathetic to the actual workings of government, he doesn't care about who does what, just as long as they do what he asks of them when he needs them.

    As for what the sycophants want, that's a whole nother thing... They probably have their own plans: Stephen "I wanna out Hitler, Hitler" Miller, absolutely has his own goals but will also kiss the ring whenever asked.

    This will be an incredibly dangerous administration. :(

  • Portland’s ranked-choice debut causes voter engagement to crater; 1 in 5 who cast ballots chose no one for City Council

  • I think I'd still file that under stupid.

    I really hope mail ballots become the norm. It was absolutely wonderful to be able to take the time to look people/propositions I didn't know up while I had the ballot there. That won't help with laziness though. Can't help lazy. :/

  • Jesus Christ people are fucking stupid... How hard is this to understand??

    Rhetorical question of course. The country is very stupid. Just today my coworker said "see Trump is our next president and the taxes already went down!" (he was referring to the interest rate decrease from the federal reserve...)

  • Republicans Only Four Seats Away From House Control—But Key Races Too Close To Call

    Jump

  • Maybe I'm misreading the election result tracker on Apnews, but the Republicans are leading in more than 5 races. Pretty sure they're getting the trifecta and probably a cushion too...

  • Democrats are trying to work out what went wrong. On the left a consensus is forming

    Jump

  • "Figures like Bernie Sanders, Chris Murphy, and Ro Khanna argue the party lacks a strong economic message, especially for those frustrated with stagnant mobility and neoliberal policies."

    "Meanwhile the Corpo shills remainder of the Democratic party insist they didn't go conservative enough. "We had Dick Cheney on our side! We shouted at them that their lives are better now! They no longer can afford homes and found everything to be more expensive, but the stock market! The people just don't understand how when my investments go up that means everything is working as intended." Audible groans were heard from within the room and within seconds security was escorting people away from reporters. "We will definitely win next time, we just need to lie harder about their lives being better. I hear workers hate unions so we'll work on killing those too."

  • That was Steve Bannons plan way back from 2015-16. He was the one to really push for indoctrinating the gamers and making gamer culture and maga anti-woke one in the same...

    Maher is an insufferable cunt who just hates all young people. Broken clock and all that... I couldn't take listening to him even like 4+ years ago, I can't imagine how much more annoying he's gotten as he gets older.
