yronic heroism posted:Why are forums “leftists” okay with “ironic” Pepe-isms? Whoever would have thought that forums.somethingawful.com would adopt trendy internet slang. Except they didn’t, really. It’s just pointing out your knee-jerk reaction to the comment, which is growing more irrational as you try to pick apart how they point it out. It’s just hard to be analytical about it when this is an online forum and there are so many forks of “you mad bro” in online discourse that simply invoking the thought behind it sounds like a meme.

McCaskill is probably the most vulnerable Senate Dem IMO. I’m not sure even this would make much difference in her favor. As long as the guy steered clear of rapechat it’s not clear how much normally GOP voters will care. Yeah it can help blue turnout but that had better be sky high anyway.

If I recall correctly from all of a page ago, you made the claim that "the left" (writ large) calling Obama a "war criminal" was the reason why many mainstream Democrats are normalizing and even nostalgic for George W. Bush. What you've written here doesn't seem to be an answer to my point, which is that the left's relative lack of a media presence makes that a pretty flimsy hypothesis.

Are there lists of competitive races or something that gives me a starting place? What kind of candidates are you looking to support? If you want to support progressives but socialism is too spoopy for you, I suggest looking into Justice Democrats. If the thought of rich people fills you with dreams of guillotines, maybe consider DSA.

Yes it is, adressing this supposed lack of the lefts media prescence in the media diet of democrats as a whole as the self indulgent and whiny myth that it is, the equivalent of the Tea Party whining endlessly about the "Leftist media bias!". THey can hear you, its just for the most part your message is ignored cause you don't do a loving thing to make anyone want to follow you. THe one thing you have stuck with the most passionately has been heard, and its effect has been to rehabilitate Bush. Basically, you wasted your effort on making America like Bush. I do hope you're all very proud of that fact. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

It’s one thing to get duped by Bush over Iraq. It is another thing to get duped then still support expanding the surveillance state while also opposing increasing oversight of the IC. Truly a “fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, you can’t fool me twice” kind of moment here.
