  1. Go back to what I was trying to say before BO&W tried to derail the thread. It's not a bad thing, but it's ineffective because the Democratic politicians/candidates are not interested in messaging that actually resonates with voters. It's great if online left/Dem influencers are saying good things to their audiences, but if the actual policy makers are not adopting those messages, it doesn't mean shit. I love Sam Seder, but the Majority Report can't change the world by itself, especially because Democratic policy makers generally would consider him an opponent, not someone to collaborate with, and that's pretty much the entire problem. Why do you think no Democratic policy maker will go on the Majority Report? They know that Sam Seder does not pull punches and will ask every tough question they don't want to have to answer in front of their potential voters. To use yesterday's example, Ritchie Torres agreeing to go on Adam Friedland's show is surprising, but Adam isn't a political animal. He did an admirable job of trying to bring out some humanity in Torres, but he has limitations in this sphere, and Torres isn't exactly prominent. Any mainstream Democrat agreeing to be grilled by Sam Seder is an entirely different conversation and would be absolutely earth-shattering. There's a reason they would never agree to it, and we have to get past that hurdle before anything else. I don't see it ever happening with people like Schumer and Jeffries in charge.
  2. It's more than that, but Pakman has said some nasty shit about the subject before, like "Israel would never waste ordinance on a Palestinian" etc, and he's one of the people that thinks someone like Ritchie Torres is the future of the party and should "lead the progressive movement". It's not a conspiracy, persay, it's just a shitty, opaque practice that they're only making a half-assed effort at making transparent after they were called out.
  3. Slorch go to bed god damn
  4. My dumb ass was playing NCAA 26 last night and forgot it was Thursday
  5. What the FUCK are you talking about? I'm talking about how badly the Democratic politicians message. WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?????????
  6. I'm not a politician, snowflake. Your assertion that the pool of potential Democratic voters doesn't care about policy positions remains a completely fucking idiotic take. You can repeat it until you're blue in the face, but that won't make it any less stupid.
  7. DECORUM YOU'RE SHRINKING THE TENT
  8. The GOP messages in a way that, while shitty and fucked up, resonates with its base for the most part. They give them the red meat, the shit they want to hear, the dogshit policy positions they [think that they] want. Their pool of influencers amplifies that. The Democrats message in a vapid, banal way that their base dislikes for the most part, a way that ignores or outright sneers at most of the policy positions their base wants, and makes most people think they are lizard people in costumes. Paying a bunch of influencers to amplify that does absolutely nothing but lose you more potential voters. "Hey, you see the Republicans? Don't they suck? Vote for us! We're going to continue pouring trillions into the military industrial complex so you can never have health care or education, but at least we're not them" doesn't fucking work anymore.
  9. RFK might be as bad. Eugenicists and Nazis are close bedfellows.
  10. Content creation literally doesn't matter at all when the Democratic politicians themselves are not interested in messaging in a way that is even close to adequate. As per usual, you are only interested in aesthetics.
  11. Posting this in here as well. I honestly can't believe Torres agreed to this interview, he's an even bigger charisma suck than Ron DeSantis somehow. This man is a robot. This is what the modern Democrat is to me. Someone who cares nothing for their constituents, believes in nothing, has no principles, no regard for popular opinion, and wholly rejects any attempt to appeal to their humanity. Just programmed to do and say exactly what their moneyed interests tell them to and nothing else.
  12. That's fine, but Cohen offered zero receipts, just his word.
  13. That doesn't, like, even come close to addressing my question. I am fully aware that Taylor is a weird person that has said some bizarre shit over the years. Attack the piece on its merits with evidence and I'll pay attention. Otherwise we're just playing a game here that I'm not interested in.
  14. Boiling.
  15. I was fucking howling god damn that was so funny
  16. Sorry, I wasn't going to say anything but this interview makes my blood boil because of this piece of shit Ritchie Torres. Adam is literally pouring his heart out while this pig fucker sneers at him while offering nothing but the most banal talking points in response. I hate that mother fucker so much, he is literally the representative of the poorest district in America and all he does is tweet about Israel. He is exactly who the Democratic Party is today.
  17. Where's the evidence for anything he's claiming besides "trust me bro"? This guy is not trustworthy and never has been. Also, he's fucking wrong. The Democrats cannot content create their way out of the mess they have created. Oh, and that extremely slimy way he tried to portray her as a friend of Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens is absolutely hysterical and just reeks of desperation.
  18. Offered without commentary and with solidarity to Adam and the many, many young Jews like him that feel this exact way.
  19. Everything about this man sucks
