I guess what I'd like to see happen is for liberals to reassess their ideology, perhaps look at what the other side's been saying regarding abandoned factories and empty storefronts and poo poo, and translate that rhetoric into actual policy solutions that would help revitalize those communities. Instead, libs are convinced that they don't have to change and the solution is to just lib harder than before and hope for the best. There's no introspection, no taking a look historically at America and the West and gleaning insight from that history in an attempt to solve present-day problems, just stay the course and hope for better next time. It's insanity.

Real interesting take, but have you considered that this is a McDonald's drive-thru?

Oh yea, that too, all the people who did this JUST HAPPENED to instantly turn it to "And Chapo likes the DSA, and refuse to publicly flog him as punishment...So that means the DSA supports him too, and now if they don't publicly denounce him they too are bad irony boys who must be purged."

Like, to be clear I don't think this was some elaborate anti-DSA hit job, but I do think the kinds of people who get angry at a kinda lovely joke they don't get from 2 years ago and demand their mutuals unfollow the person who made it are also the exact same ones who think the DSA is some group of parasites who are going to murder the True Left

also one of the people on my timeline who got retweeted calling for a joint DSA/Chapo condemnation had an icon that was Hillary's logo and Hamilton's mashed up and that was all I needed to see
It's almost as if Twitter isn't a good platform, for nuanced, inclusive political discussion.

Calling it now, Twitter is a deep-state op to kick leftists' circular firing squad instincts into overdrive.

Twitter's still basically a platform to mass text people and it's very sad that it's become the only social platform that really matters.

Yeah they should mind things more important poo poo like someone muttering on how things were more calm under Obama or "but her emails" , which has to prompt a several paragraph rant on everyone's dashes and ping like 10 people at once on how that rweet means that person wants to murder every poor person over and over again. "Leftist circular firing squad" is one of the dumbest memes possible and will just turn whatever into some weird fandom instead of something worth a poo poo. Christ.

I wish they would address it in a substantive way rather than just making equivocating twitter jokes. It's not a huge deal, but if you're gonna make a habit of dragging liberals and fascists on twitter for similar stuff, you should at least acknowledge it.

Obviously, part of the issue is that twitter isn't a great place to deal with the complex relationship between left culture and posting culture, but it should still be done.

At best you get a few funny jokes out of it, at worst it's a loving mass hysteria machine.

there is no way out of it that involves acting. all you can really do is ignore it and realize that these same people will remember your inaction and bring it up again the next time you do something they perceive as wrong

tbh Nick going on the Anthony Cumia show and making the case for Black Lives Matter and a $15 minimum wage probably does more in terms of spreading leftist ideas than a lot of the people whose politics seem to centre on livetweeting their meltdowns at the latest Problematic Content will ever accomplish

Twitter is just too perfect at mass witch hunts though because of how retweets work. This used to happen when everyone had an opinion blogspot, but it was never this frenzied among normalbrained, not extremely online people.

yea I mean I think it's dumb to give Anthony any attention but at least being a dude who goes on to say 'no dude you're an idiot' is actually walking the walk when it comes to spreading leftist views vs constantly telling the carefully curated circle of fans you have 'you know, I am very woke.'
