I hate to say it but I respect that he corrected himself somewhat. I guess I’m pathologically trying to see the good in people.

We wouldn't be leftists if we didn't have hope somewhere
Yeah. You’re right.
Ultimately we're trying to save all of these assholes. No one is born a liberal or a fascist, it took capitalism and imperialism and endless massacres and a massive hegemonic juggernaut of cultural propaganda to turn entire populations in to this. Remove the poisonous system they're drowning again and they're just normal people.
To fight for what is right is to understand that your enemy is not some incorporeal evil, but simply misguided fools commiting evil acts by chance. While we cant let our empathy make us weak; We also cant allow ourselves to be consumed by a hatred for the fools we fight.
Yeah I'm not gonna knock anyone dunking on this guy cuz lol but it's pretty understandable that he'd have an emotional reaction right after his party lost that poorly and that he wasn't ready to read criticisms yet. obvs it's written in an emotionally immature way but ¯\(ツ)/¯
I've never seen people change their tune so quickly and so completely as the time around Biden stepping down. One moment genocide Joe was fit as a fiddle, the next he was clearly unhealthy. (not that these chucklefucks would admit he was dead on arrival) Him strong down went from unthinkable and offensive to suggest to heroic yet predestined. Harris was the woman who left the race to avoid being embarrassed in her home state, but became the strongest candidate in history, best and only chance to beat the orange menace.
I don't want to hear one more goddamn thing about Bolshevik party "groupthink" as an excuse for communism being bad. Clearly this is a feature of any political party involved in what it perceives to be existential struggle. The Republicans do it, the Democrats do it. A political party in panic will always do it
Huh never realized it but this will be a great lesson in siege mentality if I ever have to explain communist states to people in the future.
"That and fear panic you feel about losing your way of life if Trump takes over? Ya, that's the feel all these AES states feel, and even worse since the US has done it before to other similar states and keeps trying. You can see why they have one party or restrict press freedoms from right-wing or foreign sources or ban politicians who try to start coups now, right? Doesn't seem like such a bad idea now, does it? "
It's always been projection we're the most asininely combative ideology in history. Half the reason Lenin shot everyone was because we couldn't collectively stop arguing long enough to remember to eat and the revolution was starving to death.
He was obviously senile during the primary 4 years ago but all the other conservative candidates and the entire media apparatus circled their wagons around him to deflect all criticism
Yeah, his decline from 2016 to 20 was very obvious. But the Emperor Has No Clothes so here we are.
Democrats on Democrats: Do Not Criticize The Party
Democrats on the Inscrutable Chinese: In Bad Country, you cannot criticize The Party
By "my cutiosity" he means a million people dunking on him for being just as willfully ignorant as any Maga
But will they learn?
If the past several decades is any indication the re-calibration will be that they weren't racist enough.
we are in uncharted territory now. we are getting actual, genuine human reactions. unfiltered.
once the money starts moving, and the bots, and the grifters, this re-calibration will come in earnest.
can't let the libs start getting ideas in their heads that push against the capitalist status-quo
Gotta appeal more to Hitler Jr.
15 years from now, after Biden and Trump died, liberals will be proud to have Ivanka and Don Jr. on their side against President Tucker Carlson's second run for presidency.
hahahahaha
Some will. Hopefully it'll be enough.
when republicans lose elections they blame the system or the woke mind virus or immigrants
when democrats lose elections they blame their own base
thats the difference
Oh, they blame those too
Aside from the system of course, liberals love the system
Chuds: Everybody I know loves Trump so the election must have been stolen. Damn you Soros/(((globalists)))/the Hollywood elite!
Dems: Everybody knows they're worse so if you didn't come out to vote for us, fuck you. We'll be running the same strategy next election cycle btw, so hopefully outside conditions (like a pandemic or recession) make it work for us this time, otherwise we'll be blaming you even harder.
Literally starting to see famous centrist ghouls be like "damn maybe Bernie had a point..." Like they're shellshocked
Yeah their whole belief system was just utterly shredded. They're reeling without any solid ground to stand on, they have no idea what happened or why.
In case you're wondering just how much this guy sucks

And calls from the progressive left for a cease-fire because there have been more Palestinian casualties than Israeli casualties is a bizarre false equivalency that would argue that the penalty for robbing a bank of $500 should be a $500 fine. Israel’s response to the Hamas attack is designed to prevent future attacks, not create a tit for tat that would promote a never-ending state of danger with a terrorist organization whose goal is to finish what Adolf Hitler started.
cool equivalence. very potent "I paid $1000 to hunt an unhoused family who only generates $1000 of value for the community" energy here.
True, the penalty for robbing a bank should be levelling the entire neighborhood the robbers lived in. The deaths of the neighbors is the robbers fault, because he was using them as human shields
The fact that he brings up a hypothetical bank robbery for his god awful analogy just highlights why I fucking hate the human shields narrative
No one would accept it if that excuse was used by cops who responded to a bank robbery even if the robbers were literally using people as human shields
Anyone who's willing to shoot through a "human shield" is just a fucking murderer
Like if I was in a situation where a genuinely bad guy was hiding behind a child I would simply not shoot at the child
No one would accept it if that excuse was used by cops who responded to a bank robbery even if the robbers were literally using people as human shields
No they would, this is where the concept of "Stockholm Syndrome" comes from. There was a bank robbery in Stockholm. The robbers took hostages. The cops and government decided that killing eveyrone to save capitalism was a good idea. The hostages had to negotiate with the government on the robber's behalf to keep the government from killing everyone, and some of them actually became friends with the robbers.
Afterwards a psychologist who never spoke to anyone involved decided the only explanation was, pardon my french, "Bitches be crazy" and shat out the idea that the women had fallen in love with their captors because of some incomprehensible mysogynist farting noises.
Everyone forgot where the concept came from but the idea that stuck and now people believe that if hostages get released thinking their captors had good points it can be safely written off as a mental health problem.
Oof. I hope this guy is completely ignornat because otherwise skip the 
go straight to the 
cuck pit.
They're a professional columnist, they have no excuse for being ignorant in subjects they write about.
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY CANNOT FAIL IT CAN ONLY BE FAILED IA IA GLORY TO THE BALLOT IA IA!
Fuck that guy lmao
He's capable of learning and self reflection we can make use of him.
I reserve the right to separate the learning from the individual until the individual proves that the learning actually did something
But he's learning
Yes, the voters suck, but that's all of them, not just the Trump ones. Every voter has been ignoring a genocide going on for the last year that their country is arming. That should've been the first sign that this country and the people in aren't good, that the people are selfish, that they are primed for fascism.
You dont care about the Palestinians? Well the Trump voters don't care about their mothers, daughters, wives, immigrants, minorities, or trans people. It's the exact same strain of selfishness, just evolved, but it comes from that same seed. Sucks, doesn't it?
The thing is that the Democrats didn't care about mothers, daughters, wives, immigrants, minorities, or trans people either... They just pretend to because they have to take the opposing message in their relationship to the other half of their party
They could dissolve the people and elect another.
Soylent electorate!
