I don't think this is completely terrible. They're right that softie liberals on the Labour right will flip back to supporting the bill because of this.

Once again proof that you cannot trust the libs and that there is no future for a leftist in labor. Has any one of the people decrying the violence visited upon the police ever said a word against the violence visited upon the protesters by the police?

I get what you mean, but also it's incredibly dumb for someone to go "even people who love peaceful protest will be shocked by this" when "if you ban peaceful protest more protests will turn violent because it's already illegal" is the most obvious thing in the universe

Ironic, considering his last book was about reclaiming the term virtue signaling and using it as a neutral descriptor of human behavior rather than an insult.

Morons spend their time campaigning and electioneering, winners spend their time fixing elections and crafting tweets making fun of anyone still dumb enough to believe in democracy.

Didn't Kamala become VP because Klob let killer cops go and Pete was too much of a wiener? Did the twitter mob play a role in getting her the job? I guess Biden chose her for the same reason twitter's wine moms made her their parasocial black friend--she's inoffensive to the liberal sensibility and most things can be projected onto her.

On the one hand you're right but on the other, the point is to laugh at leftists trying to achieve progressive change and let's face facts, no one the left can support will ever make it to the general election. All of that having been said I'm not sure Harris has any real support anywhere outside of their bubble. Even they note that she failed to win any delegates and I can't imagine the suburban "light republicans" that dems have been courting find her any more appealing than the democratic primary voters who soundly rejected her. What makes it a hot take is acting like what was essentially an appointment is analogous to winning an election and that acting like a rigged primary is an indicator of popularity. Some serious HillaryIs44 energy.

Harris was almost certainly a backroom deal with the Hillary wing but she also felt like a galaxy brain attempt at reconciling Democratic voters over BLM. She's a Black cop, the best of both worlds!
