prez is a russian asset and everyone's leaping at the chance to go "lol so what? lol if you didn't know this already. lol if you didn't know about the other bigger influencers. loving unwoke pleb." instead of seeing it as a teachable moment to reach loads of people who are suddenly inescapably aware that american politics aren't immune from outside (or internal elite) influence

lol dongo on twitter just posted this hitchens essay from 1996, "A Hard Dog to Keep on the Porch". I forgot how good it is.


So at the very beginning of the argument, the only possible winning hand was thrown into the discard. The end of the argument – the utter humiliation of the Clinton Administration on Capitol Hill and the relegation of health care to the bottom of the political heap – could not, even in pragmatic terms, have been worse than a stand on principle would have been.

What the gently caress kind of definition of "patriot" is this

"I am far too lowly of a worm to have pride in my country and its place in the world, but maybe someday, if I stan hard enough for the politicians I am told are the Right Ones, I will be granted this honor by the nationalism gods"

It is indeed a very teachable moment, but it's being used incredibly poorly to drum up anti-russia sentiment and as a smokescreen for the democratic party's absolute electoral failure. That extremely crucial parenthetical part absolutely never comes up.

and that’s the problem. the Democrats and media liberals don’t care about rich oligarchs controlling government, they care that it’s the wrong insanely rich fuckers controlling government, especially if they’re not funding Dem campaigns to burn a billion dollars on consultants
