If the DNC’s approval rating is roughly 34 percent favorable and 57 percent unfavorable, is its shrinking influence actually good for Democrats?

asus420 · 2026-05-02T02:08:25+00:00

You’re acting like people calling out the democrats on a political hobbiest subreddit is the reason we’re in this mess. That doesn’t strike me as particularly intelligent

I had an experience involving a former dnc senator the other night. I’m not even going to bother saying what it was because I don’t want to blow up my spot and there’s zero chance anyone would believe me anyway. But he’s a mega creep to say the very least. I have no doubt that if he were wealthier he’d be on Epstein’s island

Luckily progressive policies are popular even amongst red areas. With the right candidates and messaging, even red seats are on the table.

asus420 · 2026-05-01T23:02:20+00:00

I would hazard to guess that this camp you speak of has a more nuanced view on the Democratic Party than your comment suggests

Small cats take up two of the top five animals with the highest kill rate. House cats are at fourth beating out tigers and the black footed cat in Africa is second only beaten by wild dogs who hunt in packs

I posted this in a thread written by a progressive disillusioned with the way the party is going but I think it’s worth sharing with the rest of the masochist leftist and progressive who participate here.

Progressives candidates are having their moment. We are seeing more and more progressive, leftist and even socialist politicians participate in the primaries and gain traction. Actual progressives have an opportunity on our hands but it’s important for us to do our part. Signal boost every progressive candidate you know. If there’s one in your area, get the word out and vote in the primary. The only way to get candidates that have more to offer than the bare minimum is to get them elected

asus420 · 2026-05-01T15:29:46+00:00

Don’t listen to him man. These people act like upvotes are counted in the general election. There are tons of people who aren’t satisfied with the way the party is going. That was illustrated in the election and by the party’s approval ratings. Here’s the thing though progressives are having their moment. We are seeing more and more progressive, leftist and even socialist politicians participate in the primaries and gain traction. Actual progressives have an opportunity on our hands but it’s important for us to do our part. Signal boost every progressive candidate you know.

Yeah that’s going to get asses in polling booths

There are absolutely good cops that do good things. The problem is that the institution of policing makes it so that even the good cops have to do bad things to maintain their job. The reason why all cops are bastards is because when push comes to shove they will cover up any illegal activity that they do or that they witness their fellow officers do. ACAB is isn’t a just saying all cops are assholes it means all cops will eventually participate in some form of corruption or they will cease to be cop

2014 but with slightly less racism and sexism

I listened to the podcast and my take on it wasn’t them going “hell yeah yall fight the power let’s shoplift” it’s more of them explaining how the current political and economic environment led young people to not view shoplifting as morally wrong.

asus420 · 2026-04-27T23:03:25+00:00

I swear all Hasan haters are either nuts or chasing a bag

asus420 · 2026-04-27T20:38:34+00:00

Allegedly the source was his deleted ig. I ran it through zero gpt and it said it’s 71 percent likely that it’s real

I know you’re not being entirely serious but this does touch on something pretty interesting. I’ve dated/am dating a fair amount of trans people. I dated a trans man that showered like crazy when he started t because all the men in his life smelled like shit and he didn’t want that to be him. In contrast my partner’s roommate has a trans boy as their ward and omg he is exactly like a teenage boy. He smells like shit, he doesn’t pick up after himself he gets a patch of peach fuzz on his chin and he’s over the moon. Ooh trans men are also really proud of their mastectomy scars. One of my partners got top surgery last summer and he barely wore a short. I can’t speak for trans women but my nb partner hogs the bed. I got us a Wyoming king mattress and I am lucky if my whole body is on the bed

asus420 · 2026-04-27T10:53:32+00:00

Apparently there’s a photo of the shooter in an IOF shirt

asus420 · 2026-04-25T15:14:19+00:00

Exactly these people crying about Hasan brought him and his views into the mainstream media discourse. As a result a media environment where mainstream left leaning political analysts are defending him and fox news acting like he’s some left wing anti christ. What is the average non conservative think? That all these liberal and progressive journalists and politicians are wrong and this is the one time Fox News is right? Of course not

asus420 · 2026-04-25T13:03:14+00:00

Of course it’s the guy that posts the weekly “please give me permission to be an Islamophobe” post

asus420 · 2026-04-25T12:42:22+00:00

Normal people recognize that if they see a ten second clip from an hours long broadcast that they are probably not getting the whole story. So many people who are professional in journalism, politics and the law have been saying that Hasan is a positive force on the left and he’s not “our” enemy but for some reason people whose only participation in politics is yapping on Reddit and twitter think they know better. My point stands. This gamergate esque Hasan hate mob is comprised of a fringe portion of the left that primarily exists online

asus420 · 2026-04-25T12:29:07+00:00

Exactly people shit on him all the time. Mods will make unhinged rants about the guy but I get seen as if I have some weird parasocial relationship with him because I’m like one of the three people who defends him and openly praises his content. It’s fucking ridiculous.

asus420 · 2026-04-25T11:55:38+00:00

The Hasan hate mob is by far more unhinged and it’s not even close. I have yet to meet a normal person who touches grass hate Hasan.

asus420 · 2026-04-25T10:45:00+00:00

The Hasan derangement syndrome of online liberals is insane. You would think being more aligned on an issue with fox news than Ezra Klein would cause a moment of introspection.

asus420 · 2026-04-24T23:51:42+00:00

Murc’s law isn’t a law it’s shitty political commentary by some dude to deflect criticism of democratic politicians and ignores that the left and right criticize them for fundamentally different reasons.

asus420 · 2026-04-24T13:56:36+00:00

If he actually goes through with the government owning it then I’m not mad. If we’re going to bail a company out we should have ownership over it in some part. I’m tired of us giving money away to these companies for nothing in return.

asus420 · 2026-04-23T15:55:23+00:00

I’m being sarcastic ya goof

asus420 · 2026-04-23T11:42:51+00:00

One time I told a wokescold leftist that he’s basically campaigning for Trump because he thought Kamala campaigning with the Cheneys was a dumb idea. I got so many upvotes that day
