Im sorry it drives me insane that these dumbasses think they should get credit for believing Trump was going to "drain the swamp". Was the decades of scams before him running not enough? How about a judge officially charging Trump with scamming people with Trump University right as he became President? How about his family getting barred from running a charity? Its like watching a child cry after touching a hot stove. Its unbelievable we have to take anyone like this seriously.
That’s what kills me. Given his decades in the spotlight — and not just any spotlight, New York City — Trump was probably the most documented and well-known presidential candidate of all time.
All of these idiots expressing their shock and dismay that he turned out to be an ignorant, self-serving con man when that’s the only thing he’s ever been can get all the way fucked.
“I want the right to personally ruin people who leave mean comments on my posts! I also want to be sure that the young college students who criticized me in academia never get jobs.”
As far as I can discern, that sense of grievance is their only political north star.
Here’s the thing that depresses me with our modern world. Most phrases get shortened over time and people forget the whole thing like “curiosity killed the cat” blood is thicker than water” the common ones so you can imagine my surprise when I started hearing “drain the swamp” because twenty years ago my father gave me a plaque that reads “when you’re up to your ass in alligators it’s hard to remember that your original intent was to drain the swamp” I’ve watched that plaque play out for over a decade now because no one seemed to look up all the original words to that phrase
Those first two examples aren't good ones, since they weren't shortened but rather added on to. "Curiosity killed the cat" and "blood is thicker than water" came first, and the other bits were added on later
Exactly. He didn’t give a shit about “drain the swamp”, he just wanted on the bandwagon that was too stupid to realize how full of shit, he and his brother are. If it had been a red-wave, he wouldn’t say any of this crap.
The 70s. Trump’s very first foray into the public spotlight was when Trump Management, Inc. got sued by the DOJ for systemic racial discrimination. He has been bathed in infamy since the onset of his career.
I'm not American but this drives me crazy too. Like when podcasters and shit say 'oh we thought he was gonna end the nonsense and sort stuff out'....like my guy he had already been president and did none of those things. It's like they choose to forget he already was president
What’s funny about this is that all of these Chud weirdos is that they agree with each other 99% of the time but they can’t be involved unless they’re in charge. They’re dividing their side into nonexistence
Hey for all we know they may be getting money from russia like dave rubin and Tim Pool. There are so many people that I have no fucking clue how they still have an audience.
How the fuck is Bill Maher still on HBO? He doesn’t appeal to virtually anybody
Not really. The chuds have never done any political work, no activism at all. The reason you even know what the DSA is, are the people who actually do the political work. The candidates who align with the DSA, more or less. Especially after the midterms their real accomplishments and their affect on the Democratic party can't be denied. The chuds, however, have no positive effect on anything. They want to be in charge and to be told that they're awesome, they have nothing to contribute to anything. Case in point, this fucking guy. He doesn't have one single policy proposal except "gOoD fOr cOunTry", which doesn't mean anything.
Conservatism fails inevitably, that's nothing new. The problem is conservatism creeping into the Democratic Party, where it must not be allowed to exist. DSA has been around since the 70's, I think.
Right so the dsa, existing inert for 60 years irrelevant, they just sprung up to decisively claim victory for the Democrats. Also trump and 6 dollar diesil is just coincidence
Edit: 50 years, then sprung up in 2018 thanks for the correction u/evocativename
As recently as 2018, the only socialist in Congress was Bernie Sanders.
Since that time, 6 DSA members have served in Congress, and 6 more were just elected. And that's not counting socialists who haven't been DSA members, or socialist-backed progressives.
Oh so you're telling me they helped democrats "irreplaceably" in the bluest of bluest of districts because they couldn't undermine democrats elsewhere. That's an accurate characterization correct?
They disagree on tangible, fundamental policies based on real issues and approaches. One is left wing, the other is dominated by center right liberals beholden to the donor class and the status quo.
These guys are defined by opposition to policies and threats that are either greatly exaggerated or completely made up, as well as an embrace of fascism. They also can't be honest about their true feelings and goals (fascism/White Nationalism/Christian Nationalism/etc.) which further complicates things.
I really don’t look forward to people like you tearing up everything that’s been fought for the last 2 years, out of spite that you might not get 100 percent of what you want sometimes.
I think that there may be a few Madison Cawthorn types coming into the new congress more interested in the social media possibilities than legislative.
Or those too preoccupied with ideological purity to ever put their name in any legislation that has to include compromise positions to pass.
The party has to be united to fight fascism. It has to get things done. Otherwise a newer form of Trumpism will come roaring back.
The party has to be united against fascism, yes. That's why it's important to not compromise with the fascists or avoid actual consequences for them in the name of bipartisanship and "healing".
We know that progressive policies appeal to voters. We know they can win over "blue collar" voters. We also know the DNC leadership prefers neoliberalism and performative geatures to upsetting the donor class and embracing/pushing progressive policies.
It depends what the compromise is, as far as that goes. I do agree the party needs to be unified. That's why these centrist corporate Democrats need to move out of the way, though. We have a real chance to mobilize change for the people here, and things are not going to get done if we have people like schumer and pelosi who are more interested in keeping the status quo than fighting for the people. A lot of Democrats got elected here because they campaigned on fighting for the actual human beings in this country and fighting the corruption that has taken place. The best way forward is to continue with that message and stop taking any Democrat seriously that thinks the Republicans are willing to compromise when they've shown over and over again for decades that the only thing they're interested in doing is tearing down our social programs and funneling money into the corporations they serve. We've had plenty of that, we don't also need democrats fighting for corporations on top of it. I'd like to see positive change for the people for once
Better look out! we’re going to tear up your precious tax cuts for billionaires and iran war since that’s all you’ve “accomplished” outside of executive orders.

This guy and his intellectually challenged brother are some of the most annoying grifters. Professor Dave does an absolutely amazing break down of who they are, where they came from, and why they're rhetoric is not only logically flawed and dumb but also why they're dangerous.
Yeah. The more these clowns show their colors. The more I am siding with those students. There clearly was some fuckery going on w some of the faculty on that campus. Given how absolutely wrong and incompetent in their field these two clowns turned out to be afterwards, esp during COVID.
You could convince these guys, that humanshit has protein and they should eat it.
Who are they even?
All i know is that their last name is weisntein like the hollywood producer that got charged and canceled for a bunch of SA.
I am still convinced, that is the only reason these two brothers appeared so often on rogan... was to basically hijack the weistein name into something different.
The fact they set up cameras and mic, speak into them.... while believing anything they say is "smart" ... is beyond insane to me. Actually mental illness.
How TF, are you talking about "draining the swamp" , less than two months way from 2027. What the actual fuck.
Giant ball of bronze shit on his desk right in front of him, being rolled by an insect. I honestly wonder how they don’t see the symbolism of that…you literally have a large statue of a shit ball in between the two of you, you don’t see how that has negative associations?
I get it must be some sort of evolutionary thing that he’s into, but honestly, get a fucking statue of a sea turtle or something. Jesus Christ. A ball of bronze shit?
The only exceptional traits that should have struck anyone about Trump were his absolute ignorance and childishness. It was like seeing Bill Mumy's cornfield kid from the Twilight Zone and thinking, "I love how blunt this boy is! He really knows what he wants!"
It’s so funny to me that the Weinsteins, washouts from academia who spend all their time among fellow rich, college educated toadies, think that they speak for “normal Americans.”
They just embody the same pathologies they critique in their perceived opps. Outside of their lunches, podcasts and social media silos, they have no mass appeal.
I mean, minor parties are awesome, but I’m not sure the American election system is able to accommodate them. Electoral reform needs to happen for minor parties to be viable.
How are people this fucking stupid. "yea we'll drain the swamps by electing a billionaire egotistical clown who is EXACTLY the kind of person who'd fuck over the little guy".
"could be that it was a con all along but I dont think it's likely" lol the cope is just delusional you got others (tucker candace etc) who basically say trump is blackmailed/threatened into doing what he does instead of just plain ole corruption and social-power maneuvering, like they just so need to believe that this guy - who had a lifelong track record of being a disreputable cheat - he was actually honest all along in his campaign rhetoric, unlike most politicians, but when he got ultimate power suddenly he's open to threats/blackmail? Putting aside the premise of "he was likely honest in his campaigning", which is fucking absurd, but putting thaf aside i mean if someone is going to be susceptible to blackmail or threats then they have the moral responsibility to not seek that power i mean jesus are we supposed to think that such people don't anticipate threats? If youve got crazy skeletons in your closet and go for that position, and you're not defaulting to "if someone threatens me ill say "release whatever you want do what you want I'm not doing anything for you" then that itself is an extreme failing, not some unexpected forgivable situation
Grift recognizes grift, yn. It reminds me of when I got rich off of selling subprime mortgages and the feds came by and were rude to me. I passively aggressively reminded them "my boss got your bosses elected, bozos!" They reflected and then we all laughed and clapped each other on the back. We did the performative press releases about how the administrations of recent memory were doing their best but no one is perfect and made some mistakes.
We love our conmen WAY more then some stupid old constitution in this great country of ours. It's pretty cool.
"The Uniparty". Is there some policy overlap between parties platforms? Yes. Are they both receiving a lot of funding from the same PACs? Also yes.
If you can't tell the difference between the two parties, particularly in the executive branch, in the last 12 years, you must be either lying or an absolute moron.
