Very easy to imagine an alternate history where Obama had a protracted Congressional battle over this instead of the ACA, passed it, the law got declared unconstitutional by SCOTUS anyway, and people in 2023 are ragging on Obama for not focusing on healthcare instead

You do know Hamas has accepted full responsibility for this and has said they'd do it again, right? If it was an Israeli false flag they've had every chance to say that. You don't have to take the word of a bunch of hasbara Zionist IOF stans on the internet.

All of the posts complaining about grocery prices would be more convincing if they said "I didn't wind up buying this because it was too expensive." But they're always "look how much this cost me" which means it didn't cost too much. Because you fuckin bought it!

It’s weird that you think voting is both the bare minimum you can do to affect change and also a binding choice that can totally compromise a person’s moral values if done wrong

Ehh it was precisely the fact that so many people assumed it was an easy win for HRC that they either checked out of it or did a gimmick vote for Trump thus creating a self-defeating prophecy.

Isn't it funny how whenever you see someone talking about "learning lessons" from elections they always go from 2016 to 2024 and don't mention the one in between?

if trump wins in 2024 (which i think is pretty likely), there's going to be a tremendous number of centrist and liberal types caught completely off guard as they were in 2016. and, once again, they won't derive any lessons from the election whatsoever.

People say "where's your humanity if you see all this terrible stuff happening and don't freak out about it," but I think it's the other way around. A key mode of humanity is to know terrible stuff is happening and still carry on through it.

One of the most strongly-held normal liberal opinions, going all the way back to 9/11 and extending to today, is that "Muslim" and "terrorist" are not equivalent terms.

it's incredible really. Biden wiped out my $80K student loan; the first president of my lifetime to enact a policy that directly, substantially and positively impacted my life. Freed up $800/ month. And I'd rather eat cat shit than vote for him

There's not much the Harris campaign can do to reach the small subset of people who have decided to let the algorithms bombard them with raw war footage.

If Harris loses because of Michigan, it will be entirely self-inflicted. Like Humphrey in '68, she is refusing to distance herself from the Democratic president's war, thereby alienating young people who are revolted by constant pictures of dead babies.

Retail workers are fascists, retail work isn’t proletarian labor. Retail work is being the lowest level of rentier, collecting scraps off scraps of rent. Go get a real job instead. You wouldn’t be so full of hatred for your fellow man.

Twitter is a fun place where you’ll see one guy saying Biden canceling $17 billion in student debt is basically worthless, and a minute later you’ll see another guy saying $20 billion is enough to end homelessness in the US.

We're seeing a number of people on the left who have conditioned themselves to only define atrocities as things done by those on the stronger end of a power imbalance, so when they hear about atrocities committed by the smaller power their reflex is to say they must be fake.

Seriously, there's like 10 of these every day. Please tell me there's a corner of right wing Twitter where people are constantly bombarded by viral tweets saying "I voted in 2016, 2018, and 2020, and all I got was a government still controlled by Brandon and the Deep State"

I like this conservative framing of "they had to go back and find a statute from the Reconstruction era" as Jack Smith stretching for legal justification, instead of the more obvious conclusion that Trump did something so bad that it hasn't come up since Reconstruction
