  • That’s the thing about spending 70 years lying and having someone else fire anyone that disagrees…

    You start believing it all.

    Same shit happened to Elon and loads of other rich people, they stop getting real feedback and understanding that they’re being lied to.

    The honestly believe their own bullshit, and they just don’t know how to react to the truth.

    We saw it with the interview about the ms13 tattoo, trump doesn’t even know how to argue anymore, he’s used to everyone just agreeing with him, so when they don’t his only argument is “why aren’t you saying what I want you to say, do you not understand what I want you to say?”

    Because that’s the only time they hear what they dont want to; when the person talking to them is confused about what they want to hear


  • or you could read the actual article to see what he really said:

    David has a very casual relationship with the truth,” he told host Symone Sanders Townsend. “And he has not been truthful on so many points that have been raised on this show.”

    The Pennsylvania state legislator added that he’s “frustrated” with the decision to hold the election again given that he received considerably more votes than necessary to clinch one of the vice chair positions, but he respects it.

    “But David’s first statement out of the gate was, here’s the Democratic Party doing some maniacal thing to push me out because of what he’s doing with his PAC,” Kenyatta said. “David knows that that is not true.”

    “And so for all of the people who have, like I had, really high hopes for what David could bring for this party and who are now looking at the message that he’s been pushing out and the emails that they have been getting from him about how he wants to reform the party, you have to be honest with people,” he added.

    The comments came after the Credentials Committee voted on Monday to support nullifying the results of the February election that made Hogg and Kenyatta vice chairs. The decision came as a result of a complaint that a losing candidate for a vice chair position had filed months earlier challenging the procedure in which the election was held.


  • Kenyatta is the other DNC vice chair who has to redo the election. I strongly suggest the full article, but here’s the important bit for people who won’t click the link:

    “David has a very casual relationship with the truth,” he told host Symone Sanders Townsend. “And he has not been truthful on so many points that have been raised on this show.”

    The Pennsylvania state legislator added that he’s “frustrated” with the decision to hold the election again given that he received considerably more votes than necessary to clinch one of the vice chair positions, but he respects it.

  • If the Democratic Party does not wish to do the right thing even after they have been begged to by some people, then I think it’s time for us to consider punishing them and showing them, in action, you’re going to lose the election. We’re going to make sure you lose.

    Minnesota has a lot of politicians willing to stand up to genociders, and agrees with the Dem voting base on a much wider range of issues.

    Over the last six months, Minnesota Democrats enshrined abortion rights, established paid family and medical leave, restored the voting rights of ex-felons, extended voting access, invested $1 billion into affordable housing, imposed background checks on private gun transfers, initiated a red-flag warning system that confiscates firearms from those judicially deemed a threat to themselves or others, legalized recreational marijuana, created a refuge program for trans people denied gender-affirming care in other states, mandated that utilities go carbon-free by 2040, provided a refundable tax credit (i.e., cash aid) to low-income households with children, prohibited non-compete clauses in labor contracts, barred employers from holding compulsory anti-union meetings, strengthened workplace protections for meatpacking and Amazon workers, empowered teachers unions to bargain over educator-to-student ratios, empaneled a statewide board to set minimum labor standards for nursing-home workers, directed $2.58 billion into improved infrastructure, made school breakfast and lunch free from all Minnesota K-through-12 students, and increased taxes on corporations and high earners, among other things.

    They were able to make it to the general because the Minnesota state Dem party didn’t put their finger on the scales.

    As of February the old chair for Minnesota is now the chair of the national DNC.

    So…

    Keep pressuring the DNC, but for fucks sake I wish people understood we already fought the battles and won the war over the party.

    A neutral DNC that won’t pick sides means no one will be holding progressives back.

    We don’t need to be yelling at the DNC right now we need to be informing voter that shit has changed already.


  • Companies that reach a certain critical mass really truly become incompetent

    It’s by design.

    The guy who creates a game studio to make his own game understands everything about making it.

    The AAA studio that buys them out kinda understands games but care more about profit than any individual IP, so the game suffers.

    The giant corporation that buys the AAA studio doesn’t give a fuck about games in general because it’s a small slice of a giant pie. They use the CEO position there as a training spot for executives that don’t understand anything about games.

    It applies to any industry, but no one can out bid the giant corporations and they have to keep buying stuff up to maintain profit increases.

    Eventually they’ll cannabilze everything till there’s 2-3 options then eventually just one.




  • which the streamer said felt anything but random and “routine”.

    I think the issue is this is routine…

    He said the officer was particularly focused on his criticism of Israel’s prosecution of the Gaza war, asking him: “Do you like Hamas? Like, do you support Hamas? Do you think Hamas is a resistance group?”

    In response, Piker said he told the officer that he was a “pacifist” and wanted “the endless bloodshed to end”.

    If he had said anything close to “yes” to those questions, they’d have called him a terrorist and sent him to the death camp.











  • He’s losing a lot of support…

    One of the joys of living in a red state, is plenty of uninformed people voted for him. A shit ton of them are saying they’re not voting again.

    But with an actual impartial DNC chair, once we get a candidate (especially if it’s a charismatic one who’s economically progressive) it’s gonna be easy to get them to vote D like with Obama.

    But with the dnc’s track record, them not voting is the best we can have right now.
