This is the most charitable way of seeing it for them, honestly.
I think many of them don't actually have any interest in even incremental 'progress', at least not any more than it is incidental to their goal of gaining and retaining electoral power.
They abandon their 'progress' as soon as it becomes an electoral liability, and scold and police voters in their 'tent' for bringing up those issues when it isn't to the party's advantage. Anyone with moral or ethical principles (and are vocal about them) in the democratic voter base is liable to be pushed out as soon as it's no longer convenient to support their interests.
Somebody post this on .world
Maybe it's because I'm Minnesotan but I am just tickled by the way he says 'dipshit'

That was gross of me, sorry
Watched like 10 minutes of Ethan's now daily Hasan rant, and the dude is straight up twitching. Considering he was basically not sleeping all last week because he was doomposting at 2am every night, I would not be surprised if he is now just straight snorting Adderall before his shows
His mental decline was funny for a bit but this is turning into an unfunny obsession
Wasn't he doing a stream targeting the twitch ceo and feigning outrage that Hasan hasn't been banned yet today?
That guy is completely lost his fucking mind
Honest question: how much would such a lawsuit rely on the definition of antisemitism, and how much of an issue is it that the US congress has been making a specific push to include anti-zionism in the definition of antisemitism?
I honestly kinda doubt our justice system would give them a fair definition right now.....
The whole thing was so staged, I guess any job would have looked too easy.
Mike Row is a piece of shit, but at least Dirty Jobs made it look like he was suffering just a little bit.
The manager/shift lead should have yelled at him for literally anything.
If you're not being demeaned by your boss or the customers, you're not really getting the true food-service job experience
I wish they had made him flip burgers instead, or maybe stand on the assembly station? Fries are so unexciting.
I would have paid money for someone to milkshake bomb him, too. Maybe that's why nobody seemed to be ordering drinks.... Secret service working overtime to protect our big boy from IED's (improvised explosive drinks)
I would love to know more about his Pewdiepie-WSJ storyline - are there any good links about it?
"I know how to sit on a fence. Hell, I can even sleep on a fence. The trick is to do it face down with the post in your mouth"
"My bad"
It honestly looks like they're intentionally trying to torpedo their own chances. Who do they expect to convince with that rhetoric?
I've really gotta hand it to democrats here, I don't think I've ever seen a more effective strategy to radicalize progressives
Breeding a new generation of activists that will oppose them for the next 50 years is the best spin I can put on this.
Yea, honestly I thought they weren't actually going to show the video uncensored like they did. That one stuck with me.
Some of his campaign positions were lesser homages to Sanders' positions, like the student loan relief and universal child care. I think Bernie dragged the entire 2020 Democratic field to the left, at least aesthetically.
Obviously those promises fell through (or were never real to begin with), but I don't think he ever would have campaigned on them if not for the fact he was campaigning against them in the primaries.
I think the weirdest part of that was the choice in music
Just the title. I've been pulling some crazy all-nighters and I'm absolutely exhausted, and I'm remembering a time when I could comfortably say "fuck off" without any mixed feelings. Now I feel some perverse responsibility to kill myself for our project and I kind of hate myself for it.
I'm embarrassed by the number of award-winning games I have unfinished on my hard drive, but every time I fire them up I think "i'm not enjoying this".
Am I doing it wrong? Should I be mainlining my ADHD meds before trying to play?
My ADHD demands a low-level background stimulation in order for me to focus, so I will listen to audiobooks as I work, and oh-boy did my book interrupt my focus today.
I'm only halfway through so I don't think it could be considered a spoiler, but:
>!spoiler spoiler there's a part where one of the characters is unexpectedly stabbed by a tentacle while studying a seemingly harmless alien species (not the kind of shokushu zeme i'm into personally) and is infected with a foreign organic organism. The guy almost dies from it, but they discover that the organism found a way into his brain and has literally replaced his corpus callosum. The next chapter from his perspective slowly starts replacing first-person pronouns with 'we' and 'us', and then he has a tense confrontation with his crew member that end with him/them sticking a syringe through his tear duct and into his brain, and attempting to inject the crew mate with the parasite!<
There's no reason for me to share this except it has clearly disturbed me and when I tried telling my partner about it they weren't thrilled with my trauma dump.
I guess let this be a warning about this book: the first one of the series is pretty chill but this one really sneaks up to you with the body horror.
My curiosity is pulling me back in wish me luck
