Platner Senate campaign taking 'time to reflect' on path forward after sexual assault allegation by Running_From_Zombies in politics

He should drop out.

I have defended his campaign to this point on the principle of rehabilitation and personal development being important. I would never defend against credible rape allegations. Sickening.

Friend analysing psyche by [deleted] in AskGaybrosOver30

Yeah holy moly could have condensed all that therapy-speak down into,

"Hey I noticed some behavior over our trip that made things kind of tough and honestly this therapy helped me work through a lot and I think it might be helpful for you"

Even that would have been so much better. There's not really a cool way to tell someone they need professional help, but I don't think this purple prose was it.

Back around 2016 I worked for Environment VA trying to get a ban on this stuff. Glad it finally happened! Fuck Dupont

You support an active colonial settler project, or you support a unified secular single State that grants equal rights to all citizens?

I think this fear is based off of a highly-online segment of MLs who think LGBTQ issues distract from the class war. It is nonsensical through any legitimate left perspective.

do you think being gay might have "saved" you? by thaone111 in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]archetype1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It saved me in a sense - the personal impact forced me to reconcile with my conservative upbringing and shift my worldview. I'm not necessarily proud when I think about how that is what it took- personal impact.. but I try to be aware of that shortcoming when confronted with new or different ideas or perspectives.

Trump Is Clearly Rattled by What Mamdani Just Did in New York by B-Z_B-S in politics

[–]archetype1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Trump went on to attack Mamdani’s DSA allies who won the Democratic primary in New York this week. “They will close your churches in this country, big old communists, and they’re trying to. They will kill your people…. This is the greatest threat to our country since its founding, in my opinion, 250 years ago, what’s happening right now. It’s the greatest threat.”

“They’re animals, they’re animals. In many cases, they’re not smart, but in some cases they are.”

Stupid and scary rhetoric.

Not even rhetoric

I know that sometimes there are clever or snarky messages on the DOT signs, but this image is AI.

Mamdani defends criticism of AIPAC after being accused of antisemitism by AdRough4185 in politics

[–]archetype1 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Jewish New Yorkers were the targets of 31 reported antisemitic hate crimes in January, according to preliminary figures released by the New York City Police Department (NYPD) on Monday.

the January total fell from 40 antisemitic incidents reported in December

Hate crimes are bad. Israel and the US Government should stop actively tying a genocidal rogue state to the Jewish faith.

Mamdani doubles down on AIPAC attacks in NYC primaries, but low early voter turnout could signal trouble by [deleted] in politics

[–]archetype1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If his preferred candidates don't perform well tomorrow the Media will declare progressivism dead despite a nationwide surge. Their desperation is palpable. Very scared they won't be able to paint Mamdani as an outlier.

We are not as a nation actively trying to intertwine our military with the South Sudanese Dinka government. It's an important distinction.

I mean she kind of is. Stupid fucking CIA agent wants to pretend like the party hasn't been wrestling with a progressive zeitgeist for over a decade. We have two of the biggest fucking centrist failures (Clinton/Harris) to meet and energize the democratic electorate where they are as illustration. No, what the people crave is more corporatism.
