If Mamdani was running as a third party spoiler candidate? Absolutely.

He could have just kept his damn mouth shut about it. I was nauseated watching that video.

I feel for all the people who will have to live with the fear and trauma of witnessing this. I’m glad nobody else was hurt. This type of violence is a consequence of our gun-obsessed and highly politically polarized culture, which Kirk had a massive hand in making worse. I hope we can focus on the damage his rhetoric has caused and those who were taken in by him can use this as a learning moment.

Ever heard the term “pyrrhic victory”? Sure, you kept your hands clean, but you didn’t do yourself or the people of Gaza any favors.

Nobody under 47 years old has even had a chance to vote for Bill. Nobody gives a shit about that guy.

Love you too, bb.

You don’t get to vote for the GOP and then complain that they’re not progressive enough. Vote for a fucking progressive if you want to get progressive policies enacted. Your lawmakers are doing exactly what you hired them to do… fucking over the people in every way possible. You’re just mad because you assumed you would be exempt from the fuckening.

“Here’s what my talking parrot thinks about this issue”. Great input, if I wanted to talk to a chatbot I’d do that. This isn’t a conversation, it’s meaningless noise regurgitated by a machine.

I never pretended to be a bride. I didn’t see many weddings as a kid, so probably not a lot of reason to latch onto that. Plus, pretending to be a princess is much better! Fancy dress, but more color options and you also get to boss people around. Also, no lame boys needed.

Lights the world economy on fire, sits back with his buddies giggling about how stupid everyone else looks running around trying to put it out.

Water balloons are pretty weak, something like acetone or xylene could fuck up the paint but would also damage the balloon. Acids are unlikely to do much, they’re both made of plastic polymers.

You could probably fill a water balloon with paint, though. Or epoxy.

You were too nice to minorities. Hate harder next time so the bigots will like us.

The aims of the tea party were bullshit, but you can’t argue with the effectiveness of their methods. The Democratic party needs to change direction, and the left can learn from how the tea party forced a change without being inauthentic political hacks.

The left failed to prevent a fascist takeover. Maybe we never had the power to prevent it, but how the hell do you know that if you’re unwilling to examine what happened? I want the enemies of fascism to get their shit together, but that requires discussing and admitting we did NOT do “everything right”. What a ridiculous thing to assert!

Then why does it matter if the left is divided? Not like the milquetoast liberals are going to be any help against fascists. They’ll start goosestepping with the rest of them once the writing’s on the wall.

If we don’t understand why we failed and change the party accordingly, how will we ever win next time?

Takes one to know one, I guess?

Women don’t owe you trust. They have reason to be afraid. There are a lot of shitty men out there. You’re sick of people making assumptions about you, women are sick of being raped and murdered. If you’re not doing anything to change things, then stop whining and let women defend themselves.

It’s always had a “libertarian” streak when it comes to business deregulation, but otherwise yeah pretty blue.
