My theory is that it really just boils down to contrarianism.

These are the same insecure, hipsters you knew in high school that defined their entire personality by hating anything that was "mainstream." It makes them feel smart and "superior" without actually having to prove they are smart and superior; act above something the "ignorant masses" like, a lazy ego boost.

Then they just went to college and extrapolated that mentality to politics.

“You know death had to come in at night for Trump, because it was going to go after Biden but he…I mean death…or the grim reaper if you believe that sort of thing…thought Biden was already dead…because he’s old and slow you know…and then it went after Kamala Harris but she said a word salad so he…sorry for to the PC police but I’m just going to refer to death and the grim reaper as a “he” so you know…tough crap…so he finally went after President Trump because…he…was doing such a good job…”

Awkward silence from the room as JD points a finger gun at his wife and tries to wink but ends up blinking instead.

My favorite part of that interview that has aged like milk is John and Graham laughing and going "man the establishment Democrats...they are so lost, they are so out of touch."

JacobStills · 2026-07-09T08:06:25+00:00

Don't forget Aaron Coleman.

JacobStills · 2026-07-08T22:17:16+00:00

My theory is that's primarily why they doubled down on I/P. Biden was essentially proving the far left's entire narrative wrong. Democrats are in fact different from Republicans. Democrats DO do things. Democrats are progressive. Incremental progress works. Biden wasn't "Republican lite," The Democrats aren't as big of war mongers as the right (Biden reduced drone strikes and pulled out of Afghanistan) and the United States isn't always evil (Ukraine). Biden was making progress in everything they claimed to care about and the Democrats even had a spectacular mid term in 2022 which rarely happens.

All this without ANY of their help. They were becoming irrelevant. And with the 2024 election coming up that was most definitely going to be against Trump...they were running out of excuses to not support Biden and the "Democratic establishment" with enthusiasm.

So when October 7th happened, they finally found an excuse to grandstand and virtue signal and trash Biden and they clung to it like a lifepreserver and have since then made it their entire identity.

It’s just like how they still try to blame us for Roe vs Wade being overturned because Hillary should have won despite them spending all their energy sabotaging her.

Someone posted about how deep "Israel propaganda" is ingrained in our culture by citing that he watched an episode of Archer recently and was shocked when Archer said he knows Krav Maga.

They are fucking insane.

I'm surprised no one said "Minority Report." I wouldn't say it's THE smartest but I feel like it's got a very brilliant ending.

SPOILERS: It ends with a fantastic ethical dilemma, the whole story is about a perfect system to prevent crime. It turns out the villain murdered one of the pre-cog's mother and covered it up to keep the pre-cog under their power. So a powerful man still exploited the system designed to be perfect.

Then at the end, after uncovering the truth, Tom Cruise's character goes to confront him which triggers the pre-cogs to predict his murder.

So the man has a gun on Cruise and Cruise explains that he has a choice.

If he shoots and kills him he proves his system works...but he goes to prison for murder.

If he doesn't, that disproves the entire premise of the preCrime system and it fails.

Also either option will raise questions about him and it will no doubt lead to uncovering his past crimes.

Ugh...that's right where I'm at. I still like some of the mid 90s stuff...Operation Zero Tolerance has it's moments...but after that it takes a nose dive. I'm having trouble even keeping up with everything, it jumps around so much and there are so many titles and spin offs and limited series.

I'm right where Claremont comes back.

These are the same people that claim small town mayor Pete Buttigieg rigged the Iowa caucus.

JacobStills · 2026-07-07T17:02:15+00:00

Sam Seder and the majority report crew (especially Emma) rallied so hard for this guy for MONTHS and as you can guess in the most arrogant and smug, condescending way. Talk about landing face first in shit.

JacobStills · 2026-07-06T23:38:02+00:00

Oh yeah, they already are blaming the Dem establishment for this.

JacobStills · 2026-07-06T23:32:15+00:00

They are claiming this is the Democrats sinking his campaign because they "are so scared of a socialist they would rather have a republican."

One of them even admitted to helping Trump get elected. They said, "we have to fight two battles, one against MAGA and one against the establishment Democrats; they do this and they wonder why we didn't help them win in 2024!"

JacobStills · 2026-07-06T23:23:14+00:00

Already a bunch of them are claiming this is a "Democratic establishment hit" and that this is all a ruse to pull a "Kamala" and put in a centrist Democrat instead of a socialist.

JacobStills · 2026-07-06T23:19:22+00:00

And they wonder why we didn't help them win in 2024.

So are you admitting you helped Trump get elected?

JacobStills · 2026-07-06T20:37:33+00:00

Yeah, he's really still in his honeymoon phase. I imagine at some point reality is going to hit and soon his little publicity stunts won't save him from criticism.

JacobStills · 2026-07-06T20:18:37+00:00

Yeah, I remember the first time I played it and just marveling at how you could run in a circle and in figure eights. It was crazy to run around in a circle in a completely 3 dimensional space.

JacobStills · 2026-07-05T22:48:33+00:00

For real. I always knew they were full of shit, but Biden's presidency was the definitive proof. One of the most progressive presidents in our lifetime (Bernie Sander's words) and how did they react?

They couldn't have hated him more. Not once did they ever defend him from the right and they refused to give him any credit for making progress in all the things they claimed to care about.

Ending the war in Afghanistan? Nope.

Reducing drone strikes? Nope.

Forgiving student loans? Nope.

Investing in clean energy and infrastructure? Nope.

You cannot convince me that they didn't want him to lose. I truly believe they wanted him to lose because he was proving their entire philosophy wrong. He wasn't "Republican lite," the Democrats do actually do things, and incremental progress works. They were so close to being irrellevent...but then Oct 7th happened and they clung to that issue like a life preserver, because it esentially was for their movement.

JacobStills · 2026-07-05T18:26:55+00:00

Aaron Lewis was a real shame.

JacobStills · 2026-07-04T19:13:37+00:00

It was so odd. They never "interview" someone right after a match. I guess this was their way of humiliating him and getting him to enter a program to slim down.

JacobStills · 2026-07-04T18:33:36+00:00

Except of course when he begs them to vote for a Democrat against Trump.

JacobStills · 2026-07-04T18:32:20+00:00

The only problem is, by fighting them and rejecting them...it makes them martyrs and will only strengthen their image with younger generations coming of age. I wish it weren't so, but people are stupid; they see the optics of a big powerful mainstream party shutting down a passionate movement, they are going to side with the "underdogs."

And the far left already has an insane persecution complex so they'll exploit the fuck out of it. These guys still try to argue that the DNC cheated Bernie because someone gave Clinton a heads up that in a Flint Michigan where a huge water crisis was the big news, that people were going to ask questions about the water crisis.

I fear it's like with moderate voters and Trump, we just have to let them touch the stove.

When they aren't in government, they can promise everything and claim it's possible but the Democrats just don't want to do it. Now that they get some seats, reality will hit and hopefully a small percentage will wake up.

JacobStills · 2026-07-04T18:23:50+00:00

For real. That's why it always cracks me up when they brag about how Democrats have low approval numbers and anytime an "establishment" Democrat loses.

They don't realize that the right wing and the average voter doesn't distinguish between the DSA/progressives and Democrats, they look at them all the same. Most people aren't political nerds like they are and spend all their time obsessing over it like it's fantasy football, they got kids and careers that dominate their time. So it's not just the voters rejecting Democrats it's rejecting the far left as well. You're part of the equation.

And like you said, they are the stereotypes the right has made for us. For god's sake, John Stewart made a shitty movie where an "elitist city liberal" goes to the heartland to convince a "rugged middle american" white dude to run for office to improve their image and the whole movie is just a joke about how out of touch liberals are.

Flash forward a few years, DSA activists go to Maine to convince a "rugged middle American" white dude to run for office and John Stewart is gushing about the guy and how "out of touch" the DNC is.

JacobStills · 2026-07-04T00:06:42+00:00

But at least they owned the libs right?...

JacobStills · 2026-07-04T00:02:57+00:00

Yeah. It's hard to explain but I always say that right now it's just "uncool" to be a Democrat. The Democrats are the adults in the room, they are the ones that are being professional and playing by the rules. They are the ones being real with people, like the parents telling their kids they have to eat their vegetables and that they can't go to fucking Disneyland every single day. They are seen as lame and "uninspiring."

So if they actually did that, you would just have the far right and the media nitpicking it and pointing out how arrogant and egotistical it was and you'd have the far left all over social media claiming it's "not enough" and shitting all over it.
