    Did Bezos get jealous of Elon’s cultural status and decide he wants to be a based billionaire poster too? Wtf is this garbage

    But that's not at all what republicans do? They're absolutely mean to moderates and it works. It forces the moderates to change to appease them

      Not to mention that the way we perceive "moderate" kind of skews right. Like Republicans have been explicitly evil for so goddamn long that I think moderate is just the old timey "republican but not evil" before they tried to make libertarian the official republican-lite flavor.

      Most Americans have either weird idiosyncratic views or none at all, so they default to the parties to be ideological crutches. They're also often bound by specific personalities rather than coherent ideologies. Better questions would be asking approval of policies existing outside the framework of the parties entirely, like asking about workplace control or even like directly asking people if they identify as racist.

      We're the freaks for having grounded structural views you know

      I mean how many people have a coherent political ideology that they can even explain? 1 in 5? I'm not sure such a poll would be all that enlightening.

    Biden was vaguely nice to 1 (one) union organizer and Bezos brain has melted completely. He's been posting nonstop since then. Lmao.

    The secret of all politics is you have to be nice to me specifically and you're not allowed to call me a doodoo diaper baby or else I'm becoming a fascist, mister

    NGL, there are days where I wish I just became a hog.

    Maybe I'd at least enjoy life while these clowns destroy it.

      Hogs act like they have fun but really, get mad really easy, anything a reactionary says is really a confession about them selves. There only source of happiness in life is making other people miserable.

      But that would mean you'd have to completely lose your shit every time you see a black person on TV or in a video game or when the M&M mascot isn't fuckable any more. That doesn't sound too fun.

    I mean, yeah. Peak bluecheck brain is believing that balance truly is the best way forward, that there is significant difference between the two parties, and that the mythical 'moderate/undecided' voter isn't already decided
