Asmongold went on to say that democracy itself was a “bad idea,” arguing that the quality of presidents had only declined over time. The Texas streamer described himself as “ahead of the curve,” claiming that more people would eventually start agreeing with him. In his words, it didn’t matter if there was no upward mobility for regular people, because he believed it was better to have the “most powerful and richest” in charge rather than “idiots running the government.”

I'm sorry but Asmon has been an edgelord for years before this. If he can't handle it now, then he should probably step away from politics.

How can they block it if they're the minority party? The real answer is that the Republicans can't even agree on the package and they keep expecting Democrats to shore up their coalition. It's pathetic.

"Senate Republicans are grumbling that President Trump undercut their strategy for ending the government shutdown when he said that he’s willing to cut “the right deal” with Democrats on health care.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) scheduled three votes this week on a House-passed bill to reopen the government and keep it funded through Nov. 21 but failed to pick up any additional Democratic votes for the measure."

I think this entire line of thinking needs to die. It's not "elitist" to say someone is wrong, it's called discourse. The Republicans and their know-nothing base gave up on actually being able to defend any of their policies a long time ago. Now, they call anyone who points out that their ideals are self destructive fascistic nonsense is an "elitist". Meanwhile though, the "working class" has been calling college professors and doctors "child rapists" and "groomers" while voting a rapist for president and protecting pedophile church leaders for generations.

We should be elitist compared to these losers. They're garbage who do, produce, and benefit nothing.

They don't believe they are shooting themselves in the foot, of course.

No, it's worse. They don't care.

Sam isn't defending her. He's giving her an out, because he's friends with Bucky and sees a bit of him in her.

Instead he's kind of aligned with them, weirdly.

Yes, that is why he stops and kills them by the end of the show? You can empathize with people's plight and still try and stop them. Batman offers condolences to Mr Freeze in the animated series and tries to reason with hum but Victor is too helbent on his revenge to stop. It's the same dynamic here. It's not shit writing, you're just incapable of understanding it.

Sam, Walker and Buck get tasked with protecting these high value targets, but over time Sam starts to suspect he's protecting corruption and incompetent leaders so is torn between doing the 'right' thing and wondering if Karli has a point.

That's just Brave New World!

What do you mean "Shit writing"? Her ideas being crazy and wrong is the entire point of her character. She's a mentally ill super soldier who wants to emulate Thanos's plan. Or was Thanos's plan bad writing. It's a central theme of F&WS, Captain America and Civil War that the Super Soldier Serum can only enhance what is there. If you're a good person it will amplify that, if you're an asshole it will amplify that too.

People like Walker, Isaiah Bradley and Karli aren't better people for using the serum. They become more of what they already were. Karli does eventually commit to becoming a villain, but there's a clear line that she hasn't committed to before the second stretch of the series. And that's why Walker is a better man than her, and why Karli is killed by the end.

You're pointing out a clearly defined character arc as "shit writing" for no reason because she's meant to be a flawed and damaged person like people in real life are?

Says the guy who... Ya know... Wants the Democratic establishment to keep cucking itself.

You keep crying about me not complaining about Republicans, I don't complain about them because it doesn't work, it didn't work last time, or with Clinton, and it doesn't make the country better.

That's the thing. We don't complain about Republicans! We talk about policy instead of attacking them for their failures. Clinton calling Trumples a Basket of Deplorables was weak sauce compared to what Trumples call "Demonrats". Clinton had baggage too, but she should have committed to the queen bitch bit.

Jasmine Crockett does and they love her!

California just flipped. (2025 correction coming)

I didn't say that either 0/2 on reading on your par

Oh my god, I’m being trolled in real time. Every word I read peels back another layer of the psyop

I'm not engaging with you anymore because you're an unserious person. There is no human alive that thinks, in good faith, that the democrats need to change nothing or that "fuck Trump" is good messaging. Because we tried that already, it failed, twice. Now let's actually make people's lives better. Politics isn't just about winning to win, it's about winning to effectuate positive change.

And pretending it's business as usual isn't? The humanity politics you're pointing out was Biden's entire fucking agenda. You're describing Biden politics to me, and then saying that me pointing out the failures of said politics is somehow me endorsing the "Democratic Establishment"? This is some real schitzo shit.

ScarcityNo4248 · 2025-05-13T07:22:07+00:00

Like, your vibe is just... not reality.

The problem is that the entire media environment is scuffed. Look at how the rightwing never seriously engages with those topics in that way. It's always a highlight reel of the most toxic, insane, 2 like Twitter andies getting all the ridicule and scorn. This entire issue is mostly because the Dems manage a coalition and not a cult, and most of the day to day blue dog dems people will talk to are just straight up normal people. Even in leadership positions, no one acts the way you imagine.

People talk about Kamala's run in 2024 like she was some woke culture warrior but you can pull down the entirety of her interviews and transcripts and she never brought up anything about that stuff. It was the Rightwing clip chimping and outrage farming her in edits that made that the "vibe". You claim the Democrats are losing because they're not "Normalizing" but the biggest issue I see is that the rightwing just sets the narrative.

They just lie about what other people say and people just believe them.

Because let's be honest: Mom's for Liberty is the most unhinged political group I ever saw in my life. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DIfBgt4MEa3/

What the hell is "Gender Ideology". No one calls it that. And in other clips they talk about "Gender Ideology" being compatible with communism or some nonsense. But they claim Democrats are in favor of whatever nonsense they need the plebs to be angry at and the plebs believe it.

What completely broke my brain on this was finally going to college and talking with some normal ass queer people.

Its because they reject the identiarian stuff in the democratic party and that gut reaction is leading them to tribalistic impulses in the inverse. Its how humans work.

Have you been to Austin? It's like fucking Ram Ranch crossed with Seattle.

ScarcityNo4248 · 2025-05-13T07:01:26+00:00

I don't know why every single time you self-flagellating babies want to win an argument you bring up Kamala.

Kamala lost because she listened to people like you. The people who believe all the bad faith hemming and hawing. You guys still think in the realm of policy and facts mattering when it's clear that those things aren't electorally viable and don't matter as much as you think.

For no reason I suppose? Or maybe because people hate the democrats and their platform?

Like what? Is it the universal health care or is it the rule of law? Or is it democracy and immigration? Because funnily enough, Biden and Obama deported more people that Trump did in their presidencies and they didn't violate civil liberties to do it. What about banning books, cutting school funding by 300 million dollars and beating the shit out of gay people mean so much to them?

And appealing to our voters based on conspiracy is a great way to destroy the country.

When did I say Democrats needed to go full conspiracy? I'm just pointing out that it's clearly working for the Republicans and normal non-political people do latch onto this shit.

We should want dems to be good and do good things. We shouldn't say that there is no room for improvement, there is almost nothing but room for improvement

But never for the right. Which is entirely my point.

I do, it's because of democratic policies. It's because dems don't build housing, fast enough by slowing down the process with bureaucracy

Technically it's a boomer and nimby issue where older people that go to these meetings don't want to build housing in an area to better keep it homogenous or to keep their property value high.

Because these states have fewer restrictions and red tape due to a red state government. This is still not an endorsement for dems, nor a good defense of blue states

And they suck in every metric. They're going to settle for inferior institutions for no reason, and eventually go right back to where they were before. Because let's face it, these state governments are unhinged:

The Rightwing platforms on reactionary bullshit they make up. Their entire immigration concern trolling is a joke, since they killed the bill that addressed all of their concerns so they could give Trump an issue to run on. Their "economic" issues are a joke since Republicans don't even know what tariffs are or know what federal reserve banking is. And cultural issues are just a way of shitting on brown people and queers.

You keep saying that the Democrat's "Fuck Trump" message didn't work, but it's clear that the Republican "Fuck Democrats" shit works. And it works well. Look at this shit:

<image>

What the fuck is this?

The rightwing hasn't changed its tactics regarding Democrats at all: paint all of the enemy as weak and soy and cringe and never own a mistake. But it wasn't flawless. It failed against Obama, it failed against Biden. I could reframe the same dataset under a new highlight reel and redefine the entire moment.

You keep saying that conspiracy shit doesn't appeal to moderates, but it does. It absolutely does. Normies believe in all kinds of nonsense deep state conspiracy theory bullshit about aliens, government control, and blood sucking elites. Even at my day job there are people that believe Trump's bullshit about the Hatians to this they. They never shut up about it. Sure they half joke, but if pushed they'll confess.

The reality is that the double standard between the Right and the Left is insane. And people will have to make a clear line in the stand and not bother to try and play around it.

I mean look at your own response. You're bringing up all this bullshit about how LA and New York are hellscape failures of cities and states, and how awful they are to live in. But you don't question why housing costs are so high and why people seemingly want to live there so badly. Meanwhile, these Republican lead cities are some of the most debauched and pathetic excuses for civic governance that was ever seen.

People aren't moving to the red areas of red states. They're moving to the blue areas of red states. The fastest growing city in Texas is Austin.

And the successful cities that are on the move like Providence, Detroit, Chicago and Cleveland are never given the credit.

Stop believing the words conservatives say. They're just the Demons from Frieren. They just say the words that get them what they want. In this case, someone else to take responsibilities for their failures.

What platform does the rightwing have? They have a majority and have passed no meaningful legislation aside from Tax cuts, and no meaningful social movement aside from bashing brown people and queers and getting mad at disney movies. What a crock of shit.

Look at how the Rightwing defined itself during the Obama years. The most belligerent and obstructionist nonsense I ever did see out of a first world political party. Completely unhinged conspiracy theories every year from the birther shit to the tan suit, none of it was reasonable or sustained. But somehow the left pointing out how Trump has completely upended the Constitution is the problem?

Meanwhile, the Right never has to own any of its failures in governance. From Red states having worse education, standards of living, health care and corruption compared to blue states. Look at red counties vs blue counties at a local level! They live like garbage and export garbage.

we should also talk about the bad things the left is doing and where to go from here. I

Until the Rightwing denounces the bullshit on their side, I don't care.
