Where's that whiny lemm.ee lib that was like 'hE wAs DoInG sOmEtHiNg' when it happened
They've been banned so I'm not sure if the ping will work, but it was @ScrewCapital@lemm.ee. Hope they see this lol
They shouldn't have been banned imo because they were increasingly hostile because I was increasingly annoying. I mean sure they're a lib too but what do the mods expect when i start responding to lengthy replies with varying equivalents of "lol suck me off liberal," that'd engender hostility in most people
(but he called me an idiot so i checked out, i'm not gonna read 10 paragraphs from someone talkin shit at me)
on the other hand, telling a liberal to suck off me and then seeing them immediately get banned before they can reply is one of the best parts of the site
Their name would have led me to believe they weren't a lib, but I saw their comments in realtime and it was absurdly cringe
I got the impression they were a rad lib on a hopefully leftward trajectory. I think they shouldn't have been banned imo because like, how else will they ever be cured of their rad libbery other than by exposure to actual communists
I mean that's almost the entire thread on lw and reddit/stormfront
Haha he looks so angry looking down at him. "Good Trouble!? What the fuck...."
They can't help but keep losing. They're like the opposite of the Globetrotters.
The Globetrotters if they never met up with the Mystery Gang all those years ago
I knew it had to be more stupid than it sounded at face value. Democrats must be stupid and evil and complicit.
Meaningless performative gesture that some blowhard does and libs tripping over their own dicks to fawn over it. I don't think anyone can name a more iconic duo!
has Sirota abandoned zionism yet or is he just crying that the imperial machine isn't working right
Imperial core "left" be like waaaah the conservatives didn't oil the baby crusher's engine correctly now it's gonna break

Honestly, they're very good at doing stunts that are meaningless. They're wilely. Does really highlight how they chose not even to appear to be in the way of the genocide of Gaza
It's very funny how seem to do the utmost to announce their performative bullshit is, in fact, a performance.
Everything the democrats do starts with a little disclaimer like the beginning of Michael Jackson's Thriller video. "Just so you know, we're just dancing, I don't endorse the occult or actually turn into a werewolf."
Real Democratic Heroes filibuster themselves so they don't have to do their jobs
I'm trying to find info on this Trump nominee but can't seem to find any articles/websites announcing it, does anyone have more info? I subscribed to the Lever but I didnt see anything about that in particular

Edit: this was not unanimous. I think people are confused because the motion to invoke cloture was reached by unanimous-consent agreement (at a previous date). This just means that everyone agreed not to debate anymore about the nomination and set a date for the vote, which was Tuesday, and which was 52-45.
Most Americans have very little idea of how their government works, so it is not surprising that this misunderstanding has spread so much; I've seen quite a few people saying he was appointed through unanimous-consent. Appointments are never passed through unanimous-consent agreements, they always go to vote.
Ahhh I see; that makes sense. Ugh thats so disappointing how this stuff gets spread around even by USians who seem to have decently sharp political analysis. I think I probably have a somewhat better understanding of our government than the average person and I cant even decipher some legislation and the language used to explain the decision processes. Sad
I was sure Mayor Pete was the most insufferable lib to ever lib in libtown. But Booker is shooting up like John Belushi in a bathtub.
The next season of Election might be very funny.
The us concept of democracy is based on magical thinking
This guy managed to talk really long, let's disregard everything we were supposed to talk about, they must be right
Mans voted to confirm rubio as secretary of state but sure he did a little lonf speech
