    “Years ago, I became more and more appalled at the progressive—whether it’s ‘Abolish ice’ or ‘Defund the police’—all these kinds of bizarre, boutique views. Like, here’s another toy for Republicans to play with!”

    this is the guy people touted as a good progressive

      What to make of this? The Dems pretty consistently seem to view policy demands from the electorate as a bad faith attack on them that only serves their enemy. They don't seem to think that they have any responsibility to implement policy that would benefit their constituents. They also seem to think that their constituents are supposed to know their place by dutifully voting and otherwise remaining silent.

        Their attitude towards voters is truly insane. The snide condescension and belief that voters have a duty to vote for Democrats, and Democrats have absolutely no duties whatsoever.

      My boutique view is that I think John Settlerman should be publicly executed. In uh, Raid Shadow Legends.

      honestly "stroke patient who dresses like a 16 year old and can't stop watching tiktoks while he drives" is a pretty good toy for the right

      We were mesmerized by his large adult son glamour* which may have been related to the large number of us that imprinted on Shrek.


      * "Glamour" in the "enchantment" or "magical charm"/"illusion" sense, like how a vampire lures in its prey by claiming to be progressive, but really just wants your people-juice. Not in the "hngggg, that Steelers hoodie is so glamorous, yinz! It's making me all slippy" sense.

      Not here, but I saw demsocs basically pretend to ignore his very pro-Zionism stances. Which they had an easier time getting away with before October 7th.
