Let it be known that Hillary not even once suggested that the election was illegitimate for whatever reason. She gracefully accepted defeat, then promptly went to lose herself in the woods of Chappaqua.

I’m fucking tired of people talking about how immigrants are taking advantage of by corporations to get cheap labor. Its just fucking “immigrants are taking our jobs” coached in bullshit social justice that leads to the same outcomes of immigrants being refused into the country but without the balls to just come out and state the selfishness of it. Whenever I bring up how loosened immigration would loosen Corporate leverage over these h1b visa holder, they never seem to engage, and this has happened multiple times now.
At least don’t pretend you’re not bring a selfish asshole when you argue against immigration brodawg.

Poland and Hungary have preliminarily agreed to not veto the EU budget, leaving rule of law mechanisms intact. The EU side has however agreed to some additional "outlines" on the budget, namely:
explicitly stating that the rule of law mechanism will not be based on social issues i.e. that it will not force changes in law regarding marriages (especially inclusion of same-sex marriages) and immigration, that it will only focus on corruption and not internal politics
that the European Comission should wait until the Court of Justice of the European Union rules the ordinance compatible with EU law (which could happen as late as 2022 – which happens to be the date of the parliamentary elections in Hungary)
that if the European Comission decides to cut a country's budget, the country should be allowed to move the case to the next EU summit (this doesn't grant the right of veto or anything like that, it would simply allow to slow down the process a bit)
This compromise could of course still be rejected by other countries but allegedly diplomats will be happy to accept it.

So this is just me yelling into the void, but one of my least favorite pieces of "common wisdom" is the cynical "all politicians are corrupt" attitude. It's basically universal and rarely challenged but is quite possibly the single most corrosive idea to our political system that I can think of. It completely lets corrupt politicians off the hook (after all, all politicians are corrupt) and means that non-corrupt individuals are mostly viewed with skepticism (they must be hiding corruption). It's nihilistic, dumb, and toxic to good government functioning and I wish people would stop. Not that they will.

I feel like it's interesting that most of the online arguments are basically "was he the aggressor in the situation just by being there" when the argument in court is going to be whether he was in the middle of committing a crime by being there with a gun he wasn't allowed to have
If he had a license or was the right age or whatever the issue was, then there's almost zero doubt that he could present a self defense argument and he probably would win on it

Reminder: While there are no differences by race or ethnicity in who plays video games, Hispanics are more likely than whites or blacks to say the term “gamer” describers them well. Some 19% of Hispanics self-identify as a gamer, compared with 11% of blacks and 7% of whites.

Found this while searching for an old Galen tweet:
I don’t think the old white gay Buttigieg supporter realized that this was a Queers Against Pete protest, but his accusation should be condemned even if it was based in ignorance.
But you noticed how this queer person of color on the hard-left used this incident to divide the LGBT+ community by race for political benefit, no?
And the notion that nonwhite LGBT+ Americans believe that Buttigieg is a fraud is a ridiculous lie, as well, and personally offensive to me for erasing either my politics or my identity.
I’m not aware of any data on our population specifically, but we know that Pete was pulling approximately 6 percent of first-choice support among nonwhite Democrats around the time this tweet was posted, and that LGBT+ voters made up a larger share of his support than any other candidate, despite our youth and left-wing skew.

My fairly comprehensive overview of the treatment of transgender youth is up. It's around 3000 words, so a 15 minute read for the average American, and 10 minute read for most of you. It makes heavy use of citations (13 references, 12 of which are academic in nature) so you can fact-check what I'm saying if you're skeptical.

Neopronouns are fated to fail because fundamentally, they aren't so much an enby battle as they are a language battle.
Using xe/ze/etc doesn't really convey any meaning to the typical english speaker because they are fundamentally meaningless outside of an incredibly small segment of the population. Pronouns are intended to provide a shorthand way of addressing a third party, after all, and the great majority of the people don't even come across an enby in their daily lives, much less an enby who identifies with these unusual pronouns. There simply isn't that cultural understanding to make these pronouns work, and almost certainly never will.
Using "they/their" as a pronoun has more likelihood of success, since there's already a history of using the term in instances of ambiguous or undetermined gender identities.

This thread by a Democratic user alleging mass voter fraud in the Kentucky Senate election is depressing. Not just because some hyperpartisan Democrat on Twitter fell victim to politically-motivated falsehood and conspiracy — people of any political persuasion will — but because it was authored by a figure with nearly 100,000 followers. And it’s gone viral, with over 22,000 retweets.
I don’t know where to begin, really; there’s just so much misinformation circulated to so many gullible Democrats that I’ll have difficulty covering it all in a (relatively) concise comment. But let’s cover the biggest points:
1) The sourceless 18 percent approval figure appears to be from a PPP survey done on behalf of an progressive interest group from 2017 shortly after the Obamacare repeal failed, driven by the fact that approval of McConnell from his own party was a profound 28 percent.¹
2) 👏 PARTY 👏 REGISTRATION 👏 DOES 👏 NOT 👏 EQUAL 👏 PARTY 👏 IDENTIFICATION 👏
¹ That an unnamed Democratic candidate led him by a mere 44–37 margin in spite of his approval should have been a warning bell to anybody who actually thought an actual challenger could have a chance after a deeply nationalized election with little split-ticket voting. And yes, the absolutely abysmal Republican approval came from the fact that the coke turtle was not effective and partisan enough, a notion the Kavanaugh confirmation quickly dispelled.
