From what I understand, Bryan was a theologically conservative literalist, but still had other reasons for opposing evolutionary theory.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Jennings_Bryan#Anti-evolution_activism "Bryan opposed Darwin's theory of evolution through natural selection for two reasons. First, he believed that what he considered a materialistic account of the descent of man (and all life) through evolution was directly contrary to the Biblical creation account. Second, he considered Darwinism as applied to society (social Darwinism) to be a great evil force in the world, promoting hatred and conflicts and inhibiting upward social and economic mobility of the poor and oppressed."

He was in some ways reactionary (and definitely not a socialist), but was very far from the worst politician of his time.

Punished Joe has come to repent for, you know, the thing

Quite literally everyone from engineering majors to mega-chuds loves Elon. Americans just have a different mythology

This is what they took from you

I unironically agree with this. Trump's charisma (lol) has defined every single aspect of US politics for the last 4 years; if he loses, neither the GOP nor the Dems will have a genuinely magnetic leader, and the left will be able to point out how shitty electoral politics are from the outside.

Of course I would never enjoy the liberal propaganda that smears our good Chapo name - I only wanted to support Chris's Youtube venture :chavez-salute:

Don't get me wrong, I think Glenn Greenwald and the Intercept are typically good. I was just poking fun at journalists/pundits who "left the left;" Chapo literally did a bit on this.

Glenn Greenwald, Lee Fang, etc. They've had a lot of reactionary (anti-BLM, anti-protesting, pro-"patriotism") takes on twitter lately.

centrism will win

tbh 99% of US political discourse post-2016 has been "yup we gotta get more racist."

cursed country, obviously

libs on reddit today were claiming that antifa are a russian plant because they damage property

love to fall for racist cold war propaganda to own the left

but literacy is peak communism remember?

this holds true with a lot of the music i listen to. while there are plenty of 90s-worship indie bands that rip off pavement, i just as often see a revival in 2000s aesthetics (nu metal and trap metal, pc music, etc.)

love to take formerly "subversive" forms of comedy and use them to defend the status quo

feel like pure shit, just want p_k back

literally just doing the left twitter bit, but unironically. so insufferable.

King Krule's "Man Alive!" is really solid

yup, he's definitely nowhere near as bad as most dnc ghouls. but (in the rare scenario that i'm right lol) if he can successfully convince the party leadership that he'll sell out, i think he could get the necessary backing.

of course, there's a good chance the prediction is way off; it's just a pet theory! i was inspired by an old chapo post that compiled all the times yang said he was "for the spirit of" policies like m4a but didn't support them.

mark my words, there's a timeline in which yang gang takes over the democratic party.

yang has positioned himself as a progressive that's not too radical, an outsider that simps for the establishment. perfect for the party with two faces and two wings. plus there was that rumor about obama liking him, which is practically a sign of divinity.

if aoc (or someone similar) can't capture whatever remaining "leftist" electoral energy there is (on a national level), i believe that most "progressives" who aren't terminally online will choose yang - who already endeared himself to bernie stans and tulcels this primary.

yang gang could win the party just like trump did in 2016 - with a cult of personality and outsider rhetoric, but friendly to msnbc and pod save consumers (similar to how suburban boomers, the core of the republican party, love trump)

yang seems like an okay guy, but i don't see him as a rebel - he's made peace with the party, already has a speech at the convention. he could be here to stay.
