I think the culture thing is actually also tenuous.
IMHO, what we have is a society that doesn't actually respect or care for children in any meaningful way. We blame them for being children, fill their heads with increasingly toxic religious nonsense, and now we're teaching them that lies and hate speech are totally acceptable.
So what if they see a Rambo movie? If anything it probably gave them a 90 minute respite from feeling worthless and abandoned.
Having read the transcript, no, he does not. There's absolutely no reason beyond "both sides" bullshit to connect the two. Unlike Kirk, he didn't go on hateful tirades about groomers, drag shows, or pedophiles.
Having been disappointed by Newsom several times, what he did say in the podcast continues his disappointing trend and gives unacceptable levels of support to crazy conservative garbage thinking.
You can think Newsom said something terrible without taking the opportunity to make Kirk seem like he isn't a hateful extremist.
Yes, we know. We even know the names of the spies: Gabbard, Musk, Trump, etc.
The author of the article is from deep thinking publications such as Common Dreams and Zero Hedge. Read his garbage with caution.
What part of Warren staffer suggests a pullback from the left?
That "cut" is based on the false premise established from the outset. Your timeline shows a person moving farther and farther away from centrism over time, yet, Politico is acting like they just elected James Carville.
What little money USAID was allocated is going to be stolen or flushed down the crypto drain.
Stop watching conservative propaganda.
USAID is a combination soft power program, humanitarian program, and US economic program (yes, money spent at home). You can always find a way to spin nonsense from program abstracts but that doesn't make that nonsense relevant to the discussion.
I agree with that.. sort of. They also need to do loud centrist events. Because rags like Politico will 100% run articles saying, "Democrats double down on leftist policies that cost them the 2024 election" without a moment of hesitation.
We know that the far right media gets its talking points from Russia. After watching their disingenuous takes and "anonymous insider" bullshit (e.g., Biden only running for one term was a Politico rumor) I'm convinced Politico is also intentionally sending misleading information into the public conversation.
Politico’s Lisa Kashinsky noted that Lau’s appointment was a sign that the party is “taking a stay-the-course approach to staffing despite the party’s losses in November.…
Politico is not an honest participant in any political conversation anymore. Lamenting that a Warren staffer from 2020 is a long-time insider only serves to rile up people who are already predisposed to "corporate Democrats" bullshit.
SCOTUS took away the jury box with their President is King rulings.
if the DNC was the powerful Bernie wouldn't have won any states.
Exactly. If you go back to my original comment, all I said is that AOC needs to run if she wants to run. There's no one picking the people who are on the ballot. If that were the case, the DNC would have blocked Bernie and Williamson. But they didn't.
People run for office, at all levels. No one is deciding to "run candidates" like we're choosing race horses to field for the day.
they don't dictate the result and saying they do is just a recipe for progressives to give up and check out rather than stay in the fight.
Something keeps telling me that this is the goal of all the DNC Boogeyman talk.
Gym wouldn't recognize free speech even if it raped his high school students.
