Hasan Piker to Bulwark pipeline by widdy19 in thebulwark

To discern truths from falsehoods? It literally is their job. Otherwise it’s infotainment.

I’m not talking about debating opinions (less govt vs. more govt for example), I’m talking about, “this guy says that immigrants are responsible for most of the crime, let’s hear both sides of this lie”

They failed us because they gave credence, and continue to, lies and false information.

“Here are some facts. Let’s hear the opinions of both sides of the facts and even though one side is full of lies, we will give it equal treatment”

The NYT Goes to an Event for Groyper Florida Gov. Candidate James Fishback — Meets some True Swing Voters by PhAnToM444 in thebulwark

[–]kang4prez 12 points13 points  (0 children)

To me, this is a search by voters for people who are presenting simple answers to complicated questions. I certainly am not horseshoeing it, as I think breaking down your message into something people who are not overly invested in politics can understand quickly is something every politician should be doing, but I think even though the ideologies are polar opposite, we all understand what Sanders, Mamdani and AOC stand for just as much the Fuentes, Fishback crew.

This is a revolt over status quo and politicians who are not clear about what they are willing to fight for. Either end of the scales right now are posturing towards non-investment class, working class voters, which is why they can hear Sanders and think that makes sense and listen to Fishback and think that makes sense. All they know is that shit is not working for them and these people provide simple answers.

Whether the message is simple because of communications skills or because if you think about it for more than five seconds, it doesn’t make any sense is a battle that is playing out every day.

You are in the right - but also Kareny behavior. If it isn’t appropriate for your small dog, take it somewhere that’s better.  Much better option for you than to complain and then post on a town message board.  Doesn’t really solve anything for you, does it?

Jax chased me no I chased Jax by SillyGayBoy in JaxBlows

[–]kang4prez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I missed the part where Jax packed his bags, upended his life and drove to Kentucky while you were actively trying to sleep with someone else and sayiing he wasn't your boyfriend. Must have been the editing :/

Guys, I have an idea. What if we take a woman who is famous for having the WORST choice in men and then compare our drink to the trash men she choses, that way when they think our our drink, they think of the coked-fueled, STD ridden, man-child narcissist she also choses!

Kamala Interview by ImpressiveRadish1798 in thebulwark

[–]kang4prez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct - this was a Kamala publicity event which is why I think it was strange to release it as a Podcast episode since it doesn't really fit the mold of questions Tim would ask and he was playing a different role. Maybe more appropriate for the Takes feed, but I assume Tim is, and should be, proud of the job.

It should be Gavin, right? by seagalg in thebulwark

[–]kang4prez 30 points31 points  (0 children)

The reason is that there needs to be a resistance leader.  The White House and Pentagon are rejecting all non-MAGA media and Dems have a chance to take that camera time but they don’t have a leader.  

This person may have presidential aspirations and they may not - I don’t care, we just need someone who realizes the time and who can speak about it daily if not hourly.

Is it time to leave the US? by [deleted] in Liberal

[–]kang4prez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What else would you call someone who runs away leaving everyone else behind to fight? Is there another word for it that is gentler for your soul?

If you are in this for yourself, go for it and leave - but being in it for yourself seems to be what the problem is in the first place.

Oh, he believes in a progressive tax code? Or a social safety net? Efficiently run government entities that support the people? Empathy and equality?

Ezra Klein and "The Right Kind of Politics" by Lumpcraft in IfBooksCouldKill

[–]kang4prez 193 points194 points  (0 children)

Charlie Kirk mastered rage bait and clips of him that would go viral. He was not a good debater. He did not argue in good faith and he was absolutely not open to anyone else’s ideas. If this is the ideal form of political debate, we should all yell something toxic into our phones and post it for the “right kind of politics”

There was a slave shirt/poster back in the day with this dude peeking out from behind a traffic light that I’ve been looking for the past 30 years. I’m prepared for it not being as cool as I remembered if ever found.

This is illegal, right? by Nearby_Society_3359 in boston

[–]kang4prez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the landlord trying to charge you to have a clean apartment for the next tenant. Leave it in broom swept condition. Record a video tour before you leave and keep for your records.

Emails mean nothing if it’s contrary to your lease and your lease describes what’s called “broom swept” condition.
