  1. Blippi would have been 10x better than whoever that chucklefuck was.
  2. Hey remember this fuckin dumbass
  3. Get that woke nonsense out of here!
  4. Holy shit, Fox is gonna take the bait.
  5. Pena doesn’t even have kids, he’s not allowed to get sick like this.
  6. While Israel has absolutely done some horrible shit and need to be put in their place, this is a flashing red sign indicating that you need to expand your political bubble if you hope to be able to speak coherently about reality. I believe that nobody in YOUR circle still supports Israel. But the belief that nobody anywhere does is indicative of the type of misread that can cost elections. (Again, not opining on what the party should do about Israel, merely that “EVERYONE ON BLUESKY AGREES!!” is a dangerous general election game to play.)
  7. After cooling down and sleeping on it: our consistent underperformance against bad teams should be enough to fire Espada.
  8. It's honestly the biggest tell to me that the attempt was real. Deep down, it scares him shitless and makes him feel mortal, so it absolutely tracks that the coward would never bring it up.
  9. A huge issue facing the Democratic party is that, like yourself with Palestine, many of their voters care deeply and passionately about a singular issue, to the point that it is their North Star politically. On a human level, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this, to be clear, and in theory political parties should be an amalgamation of "north stars" broadly united towards a common goal. Where we run into problems is that in the current state of America, the North Star political issue to 95% of Republicans is "own the libs." That's it. When winning is the ultimate shared goal, it makes it much easier for folks from different walks of life to come together and get behind ideas that might not fully align with their core belief system. If they want to stop the onslaught of the country by the current party in power, Democrats will either 1) need to focus on aligning the entire coalition behind "winning" as the primary goal or 2) somehow break the "own the libs" trance that Fox News has on Republican voters. I know which one I think is easier to achieve.
  10. Newest potential member of the J.D. Martinez "it was perfectly reasonable to cut him loose but this sucks" Club.
  11. And they weren’t able to accomplish any of that until they found the King of Sizzle.
  12. "Everything I don't like is centrism" is how you lose elections. Lumping all of the working class into the same bucket is as useful as assuming all Hispanics will vote the same. People want to feel like you are fighting for them. There's nothing inherently right, center, or left about that. It's "sizzle."
  13. Yet, most people will choose to go hungry if they get a good show. It's what so, so many on our side do not understand.
  14. Democrats have forgotten that elections are about vibes. People "feel" who they want to vote for and then retroactively come up with reasons for it. On paper, last election was a no contest. But in reality, Trump projected the strength and change that the people seemingly wanted. (Dems almost figured this out with Walz, before completely neutering him for some reason.) Stop being so concerned with who the folks on bluesky will write a favorable blog post about and find someone that can make people feel something. Newsom has done some dumb shit, but he's one of the only people attempting to stir those "fuck yeah, let's fight!" deep emotions.
  15. Simply promoting policies that benefit the working class did not work in the last election. We need someone who is able to effectively verbalize to them why the Republican Party is bad for them, and there's really only one person so far who has attempted to grab the megaphone.
  16. I'd bet my next mortgage payment that they will have a "Deportation Depot" logo on the outside of this facility that looks like the Home Depot logo.
  17. Baltimore takes the lead in the 7th!
  18. Hell of an outing for Dr. Sousa.
  19. Nothing says “steel spine” like bitching out of an interview then carefully crafting your response the next day.
  20. Resting key players the day before an off day will forever drive me insane.
  21. I mean fuck Cowherd, but isn't the Prom King, like, famously stereotyped as the best football player? Weird analogy.
  22. It's not just a lack of remorse. There's seemingly now a level of pride associated with having that lack of remorse. It seems juvenile to say, but we really are a country full of MEAN people.
