I think the specific point I lost hope on progress was when Pelosi got made speaker of the house again. I couldn't believe it, I couldn't fathom the reason they would give her that role again after how bad she was at actually accomplishing Democrat agendas and keeping people in office, but they just give it back to her and let her keep it despite one under-performing election after another

Any time somebody has an original idea in the party they get shut out so we can... circle the wagons, sacrifice a few more things to preserve our most basic foundational necessities and do basic government, and remind america that leftists are bad (so vote for us, the party left of center)

I liked Howard Dean once; I know he's a pizza poo poo as an adult, so let's not get into that, but he pushed for a different approach to national politics and got run out of leadership for it. At least it was something, anything, a loving plan instead of this defensive/reactive bullshit

I can't vote for the fuckin democrats anymore and I sure as gently caress won't vote for the republicans, I'm loving lost and I hate it

We're gonna be dealing with Pelosi for like another twenty loving years, she'll be the first uploaded conciousness re-elected to congress

It's pretty cool that with both Pelosi and Hillary Clinton "everyone loving hates them" doesn't seem to put off democrats from letting them run the party forever.

gently caress off; you sound like evilweasel blaming bernie that there's no minimum-wage bill.

"the state of the left" is that the state doesn't allow a left to exist.

yea Dean can suck the poo poo right from my rear end in a top hat now but he actually used to be one of my political inspirations and all. He at least was the only one who, to me as a young person, was doing the incredibly basic thing of going 'why don't we just...try to win everywhere, even in places we'll lose? What's the worst that'll happen, we'll fuckin lose West Virginia again?'

my god what a loving insane answer

for those of you who don't know who Curtis Mayfield is he was a really talented soul/funk singer and bandleader. Before a concert he was crushed by a stage light that fell on him and he was paralyzed which ended his career and lead to health problems and he died like 20 years ago

I kinda bounce around a bit on 'what radicalized me' because obviously there's really no one magic 'redpill' moment for poo poo like this but rather it's a long process that tends to involve a few straws that break the camel's back and all, but I really do keep coming back to the 2016 focus on 'okay we got owned by Literal Donald Trump somehow...time to focus all our energy on a new red scare and do zero introspection' that really kinda knocked the scales from my eyes. It let me see that the people I genuinely thought had good intents actually would rather vast swathes of this country just straight up die in poverty and pain rather than agree to some incredibly simple alterations to the agenda that are very popular...but would require they and their loving failspawn consultants and failed artists had to have slightly less wealth hoarded.

I was at ozzfest in somerset, WI in 2000 and a dude got struck by lightning and died at his campsite right after the show. It had no effect on the show, I didn't see it happen but it's part of my story about the day.

COMMENCE THE RITE OF SHITPOSTING

i'll probably be mocked for this but when biden somehow got into the white house after 1/6 I thought they would at least do some basic reform and protection of voting rights and democracy, as well as actually going up against the coup conspirators out of some sense of self-preservation, given how close some of them were to getting hanged or shot by the rioters. But now that they are openly refusing to kill the filibuster to do those things as well as Garland openly defending Trump in his legal issues its obvious that any remote iota of change is impossible now and things will stay the same until the eventual collapse or the next coup attempt succeeds

I had very low expectations of Biden and the democrats and they somehow came in underneath them
