I need a clip from Revenge of the Nerds where the jock gets super mad and shouts “Nerrrrrds!” Only it’s “LIBERALS!!”

I mean a liberal being unapologetically liberal with her liberal ness doing liberally things because liberal is a dirty word or something

Might as well say Millenial or something

I actually like Cortez and kind of like that this is going on. They’re so terrified they’re threatened and trying to take her out from the start. I really hope she gets good people around her to help her make strides and find success.

if you're talking about that guy using "liberals" in his tweets, i don't think he's strongly anti-liberal or super lefty or whatever

Like I get everything is terrible now and that the interface on twitter makes the distinction hard to see, but everyone doesn't need to fall right into being absurdly gullible and thinking things that aren't true over it.

If nothing else, now all the idiots who squealed that of course the US would never charge Assange for things, because what he did isn't technically illegal, and anyway he's not a US citizen and hasn't even visited the US in the first place, and so on, and so he's just being a big dumb babby hiding out in that embassy, can kindly shut the gently caress up forever.

So the government’s willingness to indict him for election interference in 2018 is proof that they’ve had a black site ready for him for the last five years for his Snowden crimes, good galaxy brain take

Do they have an orbital laser aimed at the front door of the Ecuadorian embassy as well?

Did you see up above where he praises Nancy Pelosi, says she should stay house majority leader, and that progressives are liberals? He wouldn’t say stuff like that if he were a progressive or leftist that hates liberals

You’ve proven my point. You see the word liberal and you start hyperventilating immediately

Your are kind of using a deceptive characterisation here. D&D posters thought the different would not charge him and he was a fool for holing up at the time he actually did it, way before he interfered in the 2916 election. After that a lot of people thought his rear end would be grass for that specifically

the consensus has largely been that Assange did the government a big favor by apparently doing some crimes, rather than exclusively operating as a publisher in a way that would make him way harder to charge

I think they did want to arrest him given there was a good amount of legally murky things about wikileaks, but there were a lot of conspiracy minded people who were certain that the US government was waiting to pounce on him and lock him up in Guantanamo with no trial for the rest of his life and that was bullshit. And the government definitely wasn't setting up rape charges specifically to do that. Assange wanted to present himself as the enemy of the great satan who was being persecuted and the reality was pretty far from that. Over time, as well, there was less interest in bringing him in.

Of course, now that he's actually part of a criminal conspiracy with Russia to attack the United States, they definitely want him and that's one that they aren't going to let fade away.

This started the moment she won her primary

There's a certain kind of leftist that can't grapple with the idea of winning anything so when a leftist wins something it can only mean they're not a true leftist.

No, the excuse of 'well it doesn't matter if it didn't because you know it WOULD" has been the brain dead excuse people have been giving forever when they fall for literal stuff. Just say "oh, oops" when you find out you fell for something fake, there is no need to dig in or give it creditbility. donald trump didn't post some lazer conspiracy, and like literally he does enough bad stuff every minute of every day you don't need to go into made up fake stuff to find things to be upset about.
