And that “some reason?”: Bernard Sanders.
You’re an adult with a job and you’re talking to me as if I am the people of the Super Tuesday states.
Here’s the op defending pledging to never vote for newsom. So, not a straw man argument. I didn’t know he was trans and it doesn’t matter bc whatever the reason or context if you don’t vote to keep the Republican nominee from becoming president you’re part of the problem. Period.
The only thing I set out to accomplish was to tell the op his idea is stupid. I don’t think it’s “talking down” to point out that things are much worse under Republican admins than democratic admins.
Yes, it’s very easy to please 80 million people. No one should compromise ever.
Which is thanks to Trump being elected president.
I don’t like newsom. I don’t want him to be the nom. I don’t think he will be. But if he is I will vote for him because I am not insane.
Great. His post is stupid. It is insane for him, or you, or anyone else who isn’t a white het cis male with half a brain missing to think that the outcomes of another 4 years of a Rep president- after this horrible 4 years- would be preferable than having newsom (who I don’t like) as prez.
1. That’s literally not true. 2.If the OP is trans I didn’t know when I responded to his dumb post. 3. I don’t like newsom, I don’t want him to be the nom. 4. It’s still a stupid post, it would be very stupid to not vote for the Dem nominee, that’s always a stupid thing to do.
wtf? Some random dude said he needs to be won over and wouldn’t vote for newsom if he was the nom and I pointed out that’s stupid. Now I’m today’s oppressor of trans people? I assume the OP is trans? Had no idea. I saw a stupid post. End of story. Btw I am not the Super Tuesday states.
Is the OP trans or something? Some random post comes into my feed someone saying they need to be won over and won’t vote for newsom if he’s the nom and I point out that’s stupid, and now I’m platforming a transphobe somehow. 1. I dont like newsom. 2. am not the state of South Carolina.
What?
What??
The primary process. Not from posting online.
What??

You are quite insane.
It’s a hypothetical that is 2 years out. You people are insane.
“We (random internet fringe cranks) are telling you (random person from CA) that if you don’t give us (the random fringe cranks) the democratic nominee we want, we won’t vote!” That’s a bonkers way to live.
What is the matter with you? It’s a hypothetical that’s 2 years out and it’s up to primary voters. Who do you think you’re informing or negotiating with? The nominee is the person that wins the primary. If it’s newsom (I highly doubt it) and you don’t vote for him, that’s on you (the sociopath).
If the democratic nominee for president is Gavin Newsom then it’s a choice between him and whomever the GOP nominee is. That’s how it works.
You’re a bizarre person.
why we don’t do that any more. You’re wallowing in some very thick noble savage mud, here. Look around you, there are no semi-autonomous nomadic tribes in the US (maybe a semi exception of some Inuit and guess what, they’re sovereign). Maybe it’s enough to find the Bedouin interesting.
Has it occurred to you that the justice systems of liberal democracies (they’re all quite similar) are the result of centuries of trial and error and consideration of options? “But have you considered the mob deciding what’s right and wrong and meting out justice themselves?” We’ve been there that’s
I’m sorry you and your friends aren’t in charge of everything. What you should do is pout and pretend you’re better than everyone else because you don’t participate as a citizen.
So we should try it again because of Trump? You’re a silly dude.
Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Kamala Harris: both famously decided on by the cis het white majority.
The south would love to have community based restorative justice back. They loved that shit.
Our language and culture don’t prevent us from thinking about localized tribal-based “restorative” justice because we already tried that here. The south loved it, they could lynch black people all day and everyone was in agreement justice was served. Grow up.
Concept? It’s not a concept, it how our zero sum winner take all system works. It’s a concept like the sun sets in the west is a concept.
If you need to be “won over” to vote for the Democratic nominee, whomever it is, you’re not a Democrat, not a smart person, and not someone anyone should cater to.
This little guy is just a couple weeks old and he’s already lost his tail getting himself into trouble.
Also don’t understand nihilistic edgelords.
I don’t understand people like you.
Tell us what he could be doing that he hasn’t done.
Infinitely better because a tweet you enjoy entered your timeline? Grow up.
There's a REALLY big emotional need out there for a Year Zero, a total reset. And obviously we all get that feeling, my god. Look around. But when people try to really make Year Zero happen in the real world some pretty terrible things usually happen.
What? Stuart Stevens (Republican) understands how angry base dems are? Or Stuart Stevens (Republican) is a base dem? What?
You mean more online? Otherwise I can’t imagine what you think AOC has done that’s been more effective than what Pelosi has done (who isn’t the house leader anymore, btw).
“Hey, look out over the water - that’s an interesting looking b—“ 😲 #birds #mammals 🌿
Pointless state.
New Hampshire…
Wipes? Wiping…
'democrats are obliged to govern but republicans get a pass' is bizarrely the mentality of both establishment institutions and a lot of leftist posting.
They perversely see Team Breaking Things as fulfilling their part of the social contract and Team Fixing Things as violating it for not fixing the mess.
Won’t amount to jack squat if we don’t start to seriously build new housing.
Yes, AOBH also works.
AOBT (always own a boring Toyota). (not being completely serious)
Yeah dog look how it just looms over the entire nation. What award did you win as a journalist? King of Bullshit?
That’s not the least bit true. Good lord.
Them: “Cities are all rotting hellscapes!” Cities:
Facts are for dorks though, everyone knows that vibes are the only things that matter
Yeah, I know. But there’s a lot more context out there that makes his statement more clear. www.nbcnews.com/politics/201... www.politico.com/news/2020/02... www.npr.org/2018/11/08/6...
Here it is. Then the tone deaf, racist point of view is made clear.
How on earth does it do that? It’s a tone deaf, racist view of the issue.
Huh? I did.
This is all you really need to know about Sander’s perspective on guns. It’s not good. www.cnn.com/2015/06/19/p...
Look. I don't give a shit if you like Chuck Schumer or not. But this is incredible news and every single one of us should be cheering Dems on. In the midst of a fascist takeover, Schumer is sabotaging Trump in a hugely effective way.
Good lord.
note also that with the AFAIK lone exception of Rubio all confirmed nominees have taken ~full clock time, with minor asterisks. Dem votes for confirmation do not affect the clock.
I know it's illegal on here to notice that our leaders are actually fighting back in the job we actually elected them to do, but here's the Wall Street Journal bitching about Schumer's "historic" delaying tactics that have left almost 90% of Trump appointee slots empty. archive.ph/2025.08.27-0...
Some things are bound to time and place, classic white supremecist southern politics is not one of them (neither is liberalism or socialism or any other political movement/ideology for that matter). It’s OK to be honest about the impacts and legacy of the racist south.
Of course they’re not *literally* the same people. Present day nazis weren’t literally part of the Nazi party, that doesn’t make them any less Nazi. Classic white supremecist southern grievance politics are Republican politics.
It’s been 160 or 60 years, depending on how you reckon it, of preferring to wallow in the mud than to live in a pluralistic liberal democracy. I think it’s fair to say they have made a definitive, no-room-for-sympathetic-interpretation choice, and we should treat it as such.
People who didn’t support Harris can go to hell reason 1,006.
If someone wants to speak out about something they are free to not take money from an organization paying them to speak about something.
Something the community is proud of? Is the community proud of having old, rundown crap everywhere because there’s not enough zoning capacity (or sanity in LA entitlement/permitting) to make redevelopment possible? The community owns the status quo, not the future.
Gee, that sure sounds like the Biden admin and the Harris campaign. You should get in touch with them since you knew better!
Replaced with AI that had been trained on plays written by 3rd graders.
It’s amazing how bad the writing on Apple’s Invasion is. It’s like they had a writers room full of the worst Hollywood hacks and fired all of them because they were Too. Damn. Good.
Your “whom I have supported” and other odd choices made it sound like you agree with him.
No, I should be surprised that he thinks the Trump admin grabbing a stake in intel is good, because I didn’t think he was a *complete* idiot and could make a distinction between a fascist power grab and something beneficial, but now I know better.
So you agree with Bernie that the Trump admin- the TRUMP ADMIN- owning part of a company is a good thing?
It’s a simple matter of having at least an ounce of perspective and a smidge of humility.
"I don't care if it would help or be effective, I just want *something* to happen" is a childish sentiment and I'm tired of people indulging it.
Oh I see, this is how you out yourself as a Trump supporter. I agree, him and Bernie are bedfellows.
Good lord… Marijuana legalization as the 3rd leg. Dude, put the bong down for 10 seconds.
Meanwhile there are teslas being driven underground by people in Vegas because there are no bigger suckers than US city council members.
So Trump is doing socialism? Are you serious?
The most easily manipulated people in the world think they’re savvy because most of social media agrees with them. It’s a consensual hallucination with these people and they’re never coming out of the trance.
I will note that Schumer putting some throat clearing about how he doesn't agree with everything Mahmoud Khalil has said got folks saying insane stuff about Schumer wanting him black bagged, but Bernie Sanders says that he fully supports Trump extorting Intel & it's all good.
I encounter a lot of people on here who really don’t seem to understand that meaning isn’t a fixed thing everyone agrees on. Some kind of bizarre illiteracy.
Saw 2 frogs which makes today a good day.
Why can’t people be normal? Reminds me of this frightening madness.
last year the new york times editorial board only demanded one candidate drop out for the good of the country and it wasn’t donald trump
They truly believe that most everyone would be pleased with their fantasy candidate and the outcomes of their fantasy government. Give everyone free at point of service healthcare and they’ll elect you forever bc there is only class. In other words they are very stupid.
You live in a fantasy world as rich and insane as the one maga folks live in.
Everyone is aware of that. How many times do I have to explain my point? I feel I’ve been very clear.
and only provide benefits because, this is important, narrowing roads is a benefit in and of itself. There’s practically no logical reason to not build them, only emotional/political.
We used to build roads to nowhere for the purpose of allowing parcels to be developed. There’s plenty of suburbs that still have massive 5 lane roads with little development on them. No one questioned this practice bc the point was to provide for the future. Bike lanes just take existing ROW
Good lord man… And? That doesn’t matter. 1. Narrowing streets reduces speed which increases safety. Good policy. 2. Anyone who wishes to bike is less likely to get killed. Good policy. There is no downside and the option of cycling being available will result in more people cycling.
You’re preaching to the choir.
Who isn’t being realistic? No one wants them. That is known. They won’t immediately be filled by tons of cyclists. This is also known. That doesn’t matter from a policy perspective. Political? Sure, that’s different, but anyone who cares about climate change should be: “just build bike lanes.”
I feel like it would be obvious that such an endeavor would take a good deal of time, but I’ve been assured he could have been put in jail on day 1 of the Biden admin by hundreds of people online, so, who can say?
So what? You don’t make transportation policy in reaction to the now, you do it with an eye to the future. How the hell do you think all those roads got built in the first place?
Oh that’s goooood.
Or I should say, physically speaking it’s very easy. Ideal, even. We don’t have to hunt for more ROW especially in suburbs, the absolute worst for active travel.
