  • What is the progress tho?

    There hasn’t been any…

    From the early 90s to 2025 the neoliberals controlled the DNC. They kept moving right, so Republicans did the same to differentiate.

    We finally have a non biased DNC again (Obama just ignored it, or wed have gotten in in 2009 and shit never would have gotten this bad)

    That means a neoliberal won’t win the next presidential primary, because they could never win a fair primary. It took Hillary hiding behind Bill’s charisma to get them the DNC in the first place.

    But all of that was orchestrated by the wealthy to stop progress. They just plan on generational timelines.

    US has been genociding an entire people for the past 3 years.

    Gaza? The government has been enabling it, but acting like it’s already America commiting a genocide, just means when/if our government crosses that line, people are numb to it.

    That’s a widely used propaganda technique, and trump himself does it all the time. Everytime he says “we may do that” is so some people get outraged early, and that prevents people from getting outraged at the same time.

    Like, I fully understand your intent and that you think you’re helping, but you’re only helping the oligarchs when you blur lines like this.


  • Hasan Piker seems to me to be a generational talent

    No, he was the nepo nephew of The Young Turks founder…

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armenian_genocide

    A media organization literally named after people who overthrew their government to commit a genocide…

    His uncle put him on air, then bankrolled him into the early days of twitch.

    He is not grassroots, he did not got popular because of talent or political opinions.

    He is an outrage machine and rather than complain about literal fascists running our country and supporting genocides worldwide, he uses his platform to make people not want to vote for the literal only option in our political system

    At best he’s a narcissist that just wants views, at worst he’s intentionally trying to prevent progress.

    Fucking think for yourself and stop repeating twitch streamers.



  • …

    You think it’s a clock and is only real after 60 years?

    Progress is a constant thing. It’s pushing a cart up hill. If youre not further up the hill every step, it’s not progress.

    60 years, 60 months, 60 days, 60 minutes…

    The length of time doesn’t matter, just that progress happens.

    Every well adjusted person should have a shit ton of regrets, because they keep progressing as a human and find prior behavior unacceptable. That’s the same for a nation.

    Do you legitimately not understand that?


  • Are the skinny slats or big boards?

    Eitherway, shimming pushes up against the nails that still grip, and that creates a lip that people may trip on or may just look bad.

    The normal fix is slightly bigger nails in the same hole.

    Snap off screws should hold a lot better and be a more permanent fix, but I have no idea about the brand.

    Also keep in mind that after you screw it in, some of the original nails may need driven in so they don’t poke up. You can use a small hole punch to get them below the wood. Which you may want to try just doing that first.


  • Hasan Piker fans really need to make everything about him…

    They want to label this as a traitous attack and normalize public (live streamed) executions for anyone they consider a traitor, which means against this administration.

    It is very important for serious reasons, and not because a twitch streaming nepo baby who go his start interning for his uncle podcast named after people who committed the Armenian genocide, happens to have the same last name.

    If you give a shit, stop watching streamers and actually learn about politics.




  • President Donald Trump said afterward that the U.S. was considering joining Saudi military operations against the Iran-backed Houthi rebels.

    “Considering joining”?! Houthis (and many others) are bankrolled by Iran, they got the greenlight because trump started a war on Iran, and SA is a target because they helped trump…

    “We may. We’re gonna look at it,” Trump told reporters. “We just found out about the recent attack. So we’ll make a decision. We move very quickly.”

    Moving quickly is why everything keeps spiraling out of control…

    Saturday’s strike drew widespread condemnation and intensified pressure on the kingdom and its allies to respond to the Houthi rebels. The attack was the deadliest to hit the kingdom in a decade and marked a sharp escalation in the Yemen-based Houthis’ campaign against the leading oil exporter, which has already rattled the global economy.

    People don’t fucking understand the Houthis…

    They live and operate in massive tunnels wide enough for two lane roads for giant trucks. They just live in there like mole people assembling drones nonstop out of raw materials. They’ve been building Yemen for a decade, and even if/when you find them, they’re deep enough it takes state of the art “but ker busters” to even reach them.

    And trump gave all of ours away for Israel to commit a genocide with…

    The Houthis are going to keep blowing shit up till Iran tells them to stop. And Iran isn’t going to tell them to stop till trump fucks off.

    Nothing else will solve this, even if we nuke Iran or invade and overthrow them.

    If Iran is gone the Houthis will get even more extreme, because as crazy as Iran is, they’re still holding the Houthis back.


  • It’s not the pollsters…

    It’s people writing opinion pieces about polls.

    Like always tho, it’s important to remember a billionaire can pay for 100 polls and publish the 1 that agrees with them.

    Like, from the article the polls and question are already counting Republican responses more, and at least one of the pollsters is a "Republican pollster:

    “I think it’s telling that we’re hanging our hopes on ‘The polls are wrong,’” Republican pollster Brent Buchanan told Axios. “That’s not very strong.”

    And he flat out said “our only hope is this isn’t real”

    The only thing Republicans love more than being victims is being winners, if they think Dems are going to win state races, they’ll invent reasons not to vote. Otherwise they’d have to vote and lose, they’d rather not “play”.


  • Cook Political Report forecasts Democrats will gain nine to 19 seats in the House, which would give the party a narrow majority. In the Senate, Cook predicts a potential Democratic net gain of two to six seats. Democrats would need four seats to take control of the chamber.

    The current DNC chair is gonna run a fair presidential primary in less than two years…

    No matter what happens the neoliberals will say midterms could have been better and Martin needs to resign. Because neoliberals have no chance in hell of winning a fair primary.

    And if we get a progressive in 2028 into the White House, they pick the next DNC chair in 2029.

    We’re on the cusp of some real FDR shit, but neoliberals (as always) will do anything including helping Republicans to stop it.



  • The incoming DNC chair publically told Hogg that him getting elected on a pro getting rid of useless and protected incumbents with people who give a shit, pumping real money into grassroots campaigns for popular candidates even if they are in a district that has been controlled be a democratic necromantic corpse, was the worst things that have ever happened to him.

    Well, he obviously didn’t say that one giant rant of a sentence…

    And no quote in the article is even close to it…

    What are you even talking about?

    Rather than continue that kind of waste and understanding how unpopular his platform still was in the mainstream DNC, Hogg chose to bow out.

    So, he realized the people that just elected him, would elect him again?

    Why the fuck did they elect him and Martin together?

    Think about that logically.

    Edit:

    Seriously…

    If Hogg legitimately thought the fix was in, and that the equal opportunity rules Jamie Harrison violated were just an excuse…

    Why not run again to show that?

    The only logical explanation is Hogg never wanted to win, he wanted to lose and start his own party.

    Except he won.

    And if he took the two seconds to sign his name on the re election form, he’d be a vice chair right now. Instead of whatever the fuck he’s doing


  • What “they” did?

    Jamie Harrison didn’t abide by the election rules.

    It wouldn’t have changed the election for what Hogg won, so the incoming DNC chair (voted for by the same people who elected Hogg) said it should be redone to be by the books…

    Hogg refused to run, even tho it was a walk in victory, he just didn’t put his name on the ballot.

    Who the fuck are you mad at?

    Jamie Harrison who fucked up the election and has nothing to do with the DNC today?

    Martin for redoing it so itd be free and clear?

    Or, should you be mad at Hogg for not putting his name on the ballot and then pretending he was run out because he never actually wanted to be vice chair?


  • I don’t doubt the DNC will be fingering the scales hard

    Why?

    The DNC is controlled by the chair who is accountable to no one.

    Last primary was a shit show because when a Dem becomes the president, he names the chair.

    Biden named Jamie Harrison, whose only political accomplishment was raising a shit ton of money and losing to Lindsey Graham.

    After him trying to shove Biden’s corpse and then Kamala down our throats and failing the ~400 voting members of the DNC got to hold their chair election.

    And they picked someone who spent the last decade running fair primaries in Minnesota, resulting in a purple state becoming progressive, because progressives win fair primaries.

    So, again:

    I don’t doubt the DNC will be fingering the scales hard

    Why?
