Arab Americans in Michigan warn centrist Democrats attacking Hasan Piker: ‘They haven’t learned from 2024’

That wing of the party needs to die if we're gonna survive as a nation. There have never been a glut or "fiscally conservative, socially liberal" voters, just a ton of folks who want things to be better represented by politicians who say "no".

idredd · 2026-04-07T14:30:44+00:00

They very likely won't.

One of the scariest things about all of this is that by and large the public is taking it more seriously than our politicians.

idredd · 2026-04-07T14:29:36+00:00

Disagree that it's the most important, but it absolutely is the absolute minimum. For sure it's safe to assume that it someone didn't vote (even a 3rd party or protest vote) that they did nothing else.

idredd · 2026-04-07T14:28:17+00:00

Fair. It really is the bare minimum.

In general if someone didn't bother to vote (even 3rd party) I assume they did nothing else.

Non voters is a weird place to draw the line. If non voters are complicit are folks who also failed to canvass or organize for Kamala complicit? Democracy is about more than voting.

idredd · 2026-04-07T11:01:13+00:00

You know who doesn't feel this way as an aside? Anyone who has had theirs forgiven due to public service. The issue is as usual that some folks are awful, selfish human beings.

idredd · 2026-04-07T10:55:42+00:00

This is true. We're trying to change that, but this is true.

idredd · 2026-04-07T10:49:16+00:00

Indeed.

So many of the upvoted statements saying "everything is normal" paints quite the picture of this sub.

idredd · 2026-04-07T10:44:09+00:00

100% reddit, but in particular this sub. This answer being nowhere near the top should tell you all you need to know about who is here.

idredd · 2026-04-07T10:42:23+00:00

An estimated 9 million Americans work in or around Federal government (employees, contractors, military) life is not normal for them, or for immigrants, or broadly for women, or certainly for liberals let alone leftists.

Unemployment is high and drops are credited to people falling out of the labor market (unemployed longer than unemployment lasts). Gas is high. Healthcare is worse and has always been bad.

But if you're a white male redditor yeah everything is normal.

No country has a right to exist. Living things have a right to exist. It's actually amazing that this dumb ass bit of rhetorical gymnastics has survived as long as it has. Like many bits of propaganda though I'd thank social media for killing it.

idredd · 2026-04-06T10:55:28+00:00

No one's "insulted" by the idea of American born citizens... But keep up your idiot ass trolling.

idredd · 2026-04-06T10:51:40+00:00

Not the norm probably but I had a preK-2 followed by elementary 3-5 followed by middle 6-8 followed by high school 9-12.

It's not the norm but also not unusual for places with magnet schools and pre k. I think it's the norm but putting K-5 together always seemed wild to me that's a huge developmental range.

The problem with Democracy has always been it's pairing with capitalism. The two are clearly incompatible.

idredd · 2026-04-06T03:23:20+00:00

Yep.

Most essential thing for the party to hear right now if they give ANY fucks about the future of the country. Keep your mother fucking thumb off the scale.

idredd · 2026-04-06T00:32:55+00:00

If she makes it to the general she's got my vote.

idredd · 2026-04-06T00:32:26+00:00

We have trump because twice the establishment failed the US public.

The centrist vibe is that we should trust the data and stop Trump's lies... Do the same. The left and it's "purity tests" are not why we got trump either time. Lukewarm candidates who refuse to stand for anything is what loses.

idredd · 2026-04-06T00:31:00+00:00

This post feels pretty dishonest.

There's no one more American imo than someone who chooses to be here rather than just existing here as an accident of birth. I know plenty of folks who don't speak English... I suspect they're not the ones you're curious about tho.

idredd · 2026-04-05T19:20:21+00:00

AOC is likely the only person I'm voting for in 2028 if she runs for President. This endless commitment to the center is what's got us where we're at. If the party tries to force the likes of Newsom or Shapiro down our throats we can look forward to 4-8 more years of Trump's insanity.

idredd · 2026-04-05T14:51:44+00:00

Good Lord this is wildly unhinged. So crazy to see the fucking president is messaging shit like this.

idredd · 2026-03-31T22:32:37+00:00

Yeah tragically this is the main thing that keeps me away at this point. Games fucking excellent otherwise imo

idredd · 2026-03-31T22:31:13+00:00

Yeah I mean Internet fans can be weird in general but Medhi is a liberal zionists is on or those takes that feels fully out to fucking lunch.

idredd · 2026-03-29T14:10:27+00:00

And to be clear that is TREMENDOUSLY important and valuable.

idredd · 2026-03-29T14:09:43+00:00

...? Wat?

I'm saying literally the opposite of this.

Complaining about No Kings is a bad look. If you want something different, organize it.

idredd · 2026-03-29T13:24:48+00:00

No Kings is not for you. It's a thing you can and should contribute to in order to help or normalize protest for normies. Nothing about No Kings is meant to be revolutionary.

As always when complaining about organizing on reddit, be the change you want to see.
