  I remember when the media was castigating the 10% or whatever of Bernie voters who said that they would vote for Trump if Bernie didn’t get nominated.

  The framing was “There at X number of Bernie bros who are disloyal and will punish the Democrats by voting Trump” instead of “Bernie would take X number of voters from Trump”. Same story, but completely different spin.

  Yeah, the point isn’t to save money lol

  There’s pedophiles roaming the streets

  That was oddly specific.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Karoline Leavitt. She says she wear a cross because she is a good christian.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  A lot of that is obnoxious and offensive, but claiming that his hands are bruised from too much handshaking is comedy gold.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do Centrists know about electability?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  There are some things which should be non-negotiable. One of them should be free and universal health care. That seems eminently reasonable, since other developed nations have this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do Centrists know about electability?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Naw, it’s about Israel.

  “Conservatives are quick to denounce each other, jump on dogpiles, disavow, attack their allies,” The Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh wrote…

  “The left will keep up the united front and defend their guys no matter what, while we keep throwing each other to the wolves at every opportunity. Great plan.”

  Sound familiar?

  The right wing base does not demand purity tests.

  What convinced you of this? I’ve seen this claim before, but I’ve never seen it backed up by anything.

  For example, does the right-wing base support pro-choice candidates? How about pro-LGBTQ candidates?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is what Democratic voters are saying. Will the party listen?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, I voted for the world that I want. That’s what a vote is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is what Democratic voters are saying. Will the party listen?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, yeah, you should vote, but you should vote for a non-genocidal candidate. I voted for Jill Stein.

  I’m not voting for a hero or a villain. I’m voting for a president. If you want me to vote for your candidate, then they have to have a platform like Jill Stein’s.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is what Democratic voters are saying. Will the party listen?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  So, it’s no longer “Electoralism is the only thing that matters. Vote Democrat”; now it’s “Electoralism doesn’t matter, organizing does. Vote Democrat.” This is how a leftist rationalizes voting against their own best interests. Okay.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is what Democratic voters are saying. Will the party listen?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You were able to ask a statistically-significant sample size? Where have you published your work?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is what Democratic voters are saying. Will the party listen?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Diehard believers in what, exactly? What’s the “token gesture”?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is what Democratic voters are saying. Will the party listen?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Dems commit political suicide pushing Obamacare, lefties sit out the midterms.

  Wait, what? Obamacare is unpopular? Since when?

  Biden forgives student loan debt, lefties sit out the midterms.

  Well, he tried to, but he failed. Voters aren’t likely to give you credit for failed attempts.

  What does Biden have to do with the midterms, though? I’m not voting for Biden!

  With your credit card, which they have on file.

  Enshittification strikes again!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pikachu⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What does “the United States” refer to here? The government? The populace?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pikachu⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  People in abusive relationships are “volunteering” to be abused?

  Well…that’s certainly a take

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No Spoiler 👁️⃤⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is a step beyond that, though. Not “9/11 was an inside job”, but “9/11 didn’t happen”. Like the towers are still there and the conspiracy is to make you think that they fell down.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No Spoiler 👁️⃤⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s so stupid. Everybody knows that Nazi Germany was socialist!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No Spoiler 👁️⃤⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The US never gets attacked. There’s an ally to the north, an ally to the south, and two big fucking oceans to the east and west. So, when it does happen, it’s a pretty big deal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Netflix is garbage⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I just use torrents or Soulseek. That’s the easiest way. A lot of stuff can still be found on disk, too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Peak Fiction 🐐⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, yeah, I’m familiar with that from reddit’s r/myboyfriendisai, which is…different from incels, but horrifying in its own way. Femcels?

  Like, I’m continually astounded about how AI is able to bring out the absolute worst in people

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Peak Fiction 🐐⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  sooth talked people into inceldom

  I understand these words, but not in that order.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gamer Logic 😡⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, because clearly the problem here is the grammar.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Man or Bear 🥩⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  TIL that IKEA has food.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Health yeating⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Bugs are animals, so vegans are against eating bugs. Also, there’s oat milk, soy milk, cashew milk, rice milk, and many, many other plant milks available if you don’t want animal milk.

  How do you know how good you are at “noticing AI writing”? Do you have some way of verifying whether something was written by AI?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨🤔 Interesting⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Quite a bit more than mildly infuriating.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨🤔 Interesting⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, they provide sources. At least, some of them do. It’s just that the sources don’t always back them up. It’s going to gin up sources whether it’s correct or not, because that’s what it’s programmed to do.
