These are the Pod Save America libs (and former Obama aides) for those mercifully unaware

    Imagine thinking you're protecting abortions by supporting the guy who was President when Roe was overturned, and said this year that he's never been a supporter of women's bodily autonomy

        Then, reiterating his position on Roe, he said, “I’ve never been supportive of, you know, ‘It’s my body, I can do what I want with it.’ But I have been supportive of the notion that this is probably the most rational allocation of responsibility that all the major religions have signed on and debated over the last thousand years.”

    Why do the Pod Johns look like the worst indie game dev studio of all time

    They look like they're being interviewed by IGN about how they'll completely shake up the battle royale genre

      You say that like a battle royale game themed around neolib propaganda wouldn’t be the greatest interactive entertainment ever conceived.

        Call of Duty already has a battle royale mode, set in the Donbass even.

            Catering to the genocidal racism of westerners is highly profitable, as it turns out

            To be “fair”, it was made before the Russian invasion, when the Donbass War was pretty frozen. And I think they don’t use that map anymore. Still though…

    As a cishet guy... abortions absolutely affect men too. The inability of your gf/wife to terminate pregnancy early forces both of you and the future child to now contend with a worse fate brought on by right wing politicians that could be solved in most cases. Not to mention on the flip side, if you intended to have a child and your partner is facing complications that could kill them yeah that affects them/your potential child, but it also affects the father in this case.

    I could make a similar argument for why misogyny also should matter even to cishet men, but, kinda redundant.

    The argument she's making only applies to right wingers who actively support the oppression of women. If you're not some psychotic demon and do believe women have the right to control their own bodies including ending a pregnancy if they feel (or a doctor convinces them using evidence) it's necessary or the best option... then this argument doesn't really work. You're already supporting the person or party that agrees with that stance.

    The problem she's encountering here is the total inability for right wing liberals, who just happen to barely not be total full Christian fascists, are deluded into thinking Biden can win this- HE CANNOT. Their best argument, their absolute best case scenario, shows Biden/Trump being like 48 Biden 52 Trump in a head to head, no other choice thing. THAT MEANS HE FUCKING LOSES. It actually has zero to do with ideology, belief in Joe ™️ (they sound like Hilldawg people still with her ™️), or support/not support for Trump. The facts are the facts and they currently show that Biden has effectively no chance at victory, and if the DNC sticks with Genocide Joe he will lose. So every thing she just wrote there would be correctly flipped around on her. She's the one supporting a loser to Trump.

    Also fuck the cowardly pod Johns (release the deleted Felix content!), but they are doing politics correctly if the goal is to win. If your goal is to just support a dead sack of worthless shit who can't win and most of the party wants gone... then I guess she's doing something...

    You know how fascists will always shrink the acceptable group? This is the lib version of that (tautology I know).

    (and former Obama aides)

    And there it is. Apparently Obama is trying to engineer a scenario behind the scenes so that Biden has to drop out.

      God - I hope that actually becomes some kind of mainstream lib conspiracy theory and they give him a nickname like Traitorbama or something.

        The Biden team is already telling journalists that they think Obama is "orchestrating" all of the criticism of Biden

            I think this idea comes straight from Biden, he's never been a particularly clever guy and people suffering from dementia/alzheimers often get paranoid and aggressive. I think he's probably harbored a hate for Obama because he's always been more popular, more competent, etc, and now it's coming out.

            Also I don't really doubt Clooney and other DNC boosters/donors/officials would reach out to Obama, the guy who told Biden not to run in 2016 and 2020, to make sure they have his blessing. No orchestration really involved, just reaching out to the more popular, wiser, and not geriatric de facto "leader" of the party to make sure they're not fucking up by saying what everybody already knows.

              reminds me of that video clip where Obama and Biden are both in a crowd of what looks like other politicians and everyone is clamoring to shake Obama's hand and Joe is just standing there like "wtf I'M the president"

          Biden blaming a black man for his senility is really a pretty wild bit but we should have seen it coming from that old racist idiot

    IDK what does a Vice Chair of the DNC have to do with a genocidal war their party is fully backing? It's a fucking mystery!
