You can always do something about your personal problems. Trust me, I’ve been through addiction, years-long relationships falling apart, losing jobs I loved, friends dying, you name it. Life goes on and it can get better. I hope you find something that gives your life meaning, and I wish you the strength to continue on until you find it.
Well there is something to be said about how much simpler right-wing politics is, and how the audience susceptible to the messaging is less critical. The problem for big money corporate Dems is that the majority of Americans who don’t vote Republican are either too far left to agree with Democratic positions or too skeptical of politics in general to fall for focus-grouped big-donor-funded BS shoved in their faces. That’s why Bernie gained so much more momentum than any other Dem in 2016 and 2020. He had principles and a history of sticking to them. Hell, Obama was the last Democratic presidential candidate who vocally opposed the Iraq War.
The “hall monitor” image, as they put it, is inherent to liberalism. Because you always have to make excuses for terrible shit everyone can tell is terrible but then also pretend you care about a bunch of smaller social issues on the side that doesn’t affect most people. “More black women cops!” just feels artificial, and always will no matter how much money you throw at it.
It’s sort of funny how they just can’t understand that you can’t have “independent organically-developed Democrat-aligned media” that is also simultaneously 100% palatable to big money donors.
Well that was a rollercoaster of a wikipedia article
I imagine both you, SevenSkalls, and myself all were infected with these liberal brainworms at some point, otherwise this sort of perfect analysis of the liberal mindset would be even more impressive than it already is. Spot on.
Yeah when they lost Matt, they lost someone who could express an emotion more raw and visceral than just detached sort of coked-out cynical laughter.
Hell yeah the return of RAP BAND
And then by the time Trump came round in 2016 and said “we never should have been in Iraq” all those same idiots agreed.
