  1. They're absolutely 100% to blame. Every single time they refused to take action because "the Republicans might do the same in the future" or in the name of decorum or whatever the fuck just pushed us closer and closer to where we are now. I swear to god every time I have to hear "you can't blame the Democrats for what the Republicans are doing now" I want to throw myself off a tall building because you absolutely can blame them and should for spending decades being enablers while paying lip service to giving a shit about the people.
  2. I honestly think I hate him more than Trump. I'm not even kidding.
  3. It'd be cool if that dumbass old bald piece of shit Chuck Schumer would ever show even a little fucking balls. Like maybe asking why Trump is eroding due process and other constitutional rights, why we have been bombing a foreign country without congressional approval, any number of things that might show that the Democrat party has even a little bit of spine.
  4. I'm an old school Asmon watcher and he has taken a very obvious and very hard right turn since the election, and started prior to the election after he got temporarily banned for calling the Palestinians "inferior" and advocating for their genocide. He was forced to both publicly apologize for this, divest himself from his own company and from his gamer org because of shit like this: Some of the shit he has said since Trump's election has been genuinely appalling and absolutely nothing like he used to be, he's truly a completely different person, at least his on-camera persona is. I could post dozens of videos of him saying shit that genuinely makes me sad to hear coming from a dude I used to be a pretty big fan of. You're right in saying he doesn't care about money or whatever, he has piles of money already, he doesn't need it. He has openly admitted on live stream that his pivot was entirely driven by the clout he knew he would gain and that's all that matters to him. He is now arguably the largest online political commenter there is, on any platform. He is much larger than say, Ben Shapiro is now. He gained this status in a manner of months, despite having almost zero real knowledge of basically anything he speaks on, and mainly just repeating whatever the Trump administration says on any given topic and saying "YEAH BASED". That being said, I still wouldn't put him in the category of Staysafe or whatever because A) Staysafe is just a straight up Nazi true believer, and B) I 100% believe Asmon when he says he is doing this for clout. It's a grift, 1000%, the difference being the grift is not for money, it's simply for attention and clout. That said, he's always had extremely weird things to say about women (especially female characters in video games) and pretty strong Islamophobic tendencies as well, such as having one of his characters named after Anders Breivik for years.
  5. This is a totally rational position to take, as a fan of any school, in my opinion. Of course his goals aren't aligned with UT's. He's not a UT alum or UT booster. He's trying to boost the profile of the school he played for and pours money into. I've had numerous disagreements with the guy. He's not perfect and he'll be the first to tell you so. He's actually quite active in Tech online circles, readily engages with Tech fans and tries to be as transparent as possible, and I respect him for that. That said, when he was a fledgling billionaire, he was trying to throw his weight around in the exact wrong way, and tried to push first Dana Holgersen, and then Art fucking Briles on the Tech AD. When he didn't get his way, he actually started trying to get Kirby Hocutt fired. He was apparently so obnoxious that his access to the department was effectively cut off, and it went beyond that, but I don't feel like getting into the rest right now. Luckily all that shit happened mostly out of the public eye. Suffice to say, he seemingly stopped being selfish, cleaned up his act, repaired his relationship with the AD, and is now a regent and has been making pretty good moves for Tech ever since. Will it pay off? Who knows. The money and support is certainly there, and it seems to be getting there, but all that will matter are the results in the end. If they spend all this money and can't get in the CFP, oh boy.
  6. This you? I'm sorry, you were lying? Would you like to continue?
  7. You're not wrong, but the non-propagandist media networks basically have nothing to run in opposition because the "voice" of the Democrat party is an annoying, dry, crusty ass old liberal that has nothing to say but repeat old liberal talking points that nobody gives a fuck about and clearly demonstrated his complete lack of spine when the spending bill was on the table, so he has no fucking credibility either. AOC and Bernie, and to a lesser extent Buttigieg, currently have a broader appeal among voters than pretty much any other US politician you can name (in either party) but the Democrat party is so stuck in its ways of being nothing more than controlled opposition that basically does nothing but pay lip service to ideas that their potential voter base actually care about, that they will continue to be sidelined so Chuck Schumer can go on TV and whine about Trump and then vote in lockstep with him for "decorum" or whatever the fuck.
  8. I feel like I've repeated this a gazillion times, but they don't need a propaganda network, they need messages that resonate with voters. AOC and Bernie, and Buttigieg to an extent, are literally the only ones going out there and actually saying words people want to hear. The rest of them, it feels sometimes like they are all just acting like clones of Chuck Schumer and no one gives a fuck/it's just annoying.
  9. Who knows. It's literally a tabloid, but they have broken accurate news before.
  10. It's not when you remember that a couple decades ago Trump was a New York lib that loved theatre. He's always been zesty. Ain't no straight man wearing that much face bronzer.
  11. What exactly do you find amusing about all of this?
  12. The first reply is great. What a legendarily bad poster. RIP maninblack don't ever come back dipshit
  13. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. Like, I cannot fucking stand Tulsi, but the revisionist history comparing her to some random DNC chair you've never heard of is insane. She was the first woman combat veteran to run for President and was initially seen/presented herself as a progressive, anti-war, populist candidate. She got the most online engagement of any candidate in the debates she participated in. She was even presenting herself as anti-cop by going after Kamala Harris' record as a prosecutor (which, truth be told, is probably the most commendable thing she ever did). Obviously her carefully crafted image turned out to be bullshit. She's nothing more than a political opportunist, and she's a weird cult member who is likely some level of Russian asset, but she had a fair amount of momentum in the very beginning before the greater Democrat apparatus quickly turned against her after Hillary Clinton started shitting on her, and even then a bunch of prominent Democrats were defending her all over mainstream news. She was also getting glazed up a bunch by Joe Rogan which only helped her popularity.
  14. Yeah fair enough
  15. This is just cope and demonstrably untrue. She was fairly popular among Democrats until the Assad/Russia shit came up during the 2020 presidential campaigns and Hillary started going after her hard. Even after that she was pretty heavily defended by mainstream media and a lot of mainstream Democrats. Shit started going downhill for her and it culminated in her not being invited to the 2020 DNC which I'm sure is what started her off on the path to leaving the party.
  16. I just like to differentiate between what's considered "liberal" in America vs. what an actual leftist is. Liberals in American can be as right wing as conservatives about many things.
  17. A friend here works for AMTRAK as a union worker, makes well into the 6 figures and hates unions. Exhausted myself trying to explain that unions are the only reason he can afford the $90k truck he drives as what amounts to semi-skilled labor.
  18. Here not so much but she was quite popular among Dems for a time, especially circa 2020 when she was mostly falling in line.
  19. I hate every fucking dumbass liberal that tried to hype her up over the years with a fiery passion
  20. I would do a victory lap around all the dipshits on this board that constantly shed crocodile tears about fake ass, bullshit "antisemitism" in the Israel thread, but the reality is this sucks for everyone so it's a pyrrhic vindication at best.
  21. Respects to imma, but pay for a VPN service. They're not expensive and it's well worth it for multiple reasons, porn notwithstanding. I use Surfshark at home, I think I paid around $50-60 for 2 years of service up front.
  22. Yeah they're called co-ops and they're relatively rare compared to the standard company structure in this country.
  23. Lulz!! Wait, I'm not slorch...
