you're deeply overthinking this

Mitt was just too one-dimensional. I never thought other terrible Hillarymen were necessarily being paid because you could at least tell they were human. But with Mitt, he hated Bernie Sanders more than any non-Republican possibly could, he started posting when Hillary announced her candidacy and stopped on November 8th and he never posted anywhere else but the dem thread.

yeah no, i'm happy we didn't get a fascist like le pen, or that I don't have to live in trumpland, but wow macron is turning out to be way way worse than just status quo going by his rhetoric alone.

oh yeah and he invited trump to hang out with him in paris for some loving reason

The fact that Macron actually wants to make things worse than the status quo is an example of why I think what's currently called "centrist" is actually right-wing.

anyway, i'm glad i prepared myself for macron losing. meant him winning was a pleasant surprise (or it should've been if he was just going to preserve the status quo instead of advocating for a new king)

It doesn't sound to me like he's actually advocating a new king, just being an edgy "but what if..." idiot.

The notion of "progress" has no meaning in the absence of an ideological vision. Democrats are taking reactionary positions now because they already think we're in the end of history, and nothing could be better than the framework they already established in the 90s.

True as gently caress. This is also why it was so distasteful and revealing when centrist political pundits were treating Hamilton like the biggest cultural phenomenon last year.
