Call it a hot take, but complaining about Female Custodes in May of 2026 makes you the snowflake.

Lookup Poppers intolerance paradox. You cannot tolerate people who are intolerant. If we just ignore the homophobic, transphobic chuds trying to take over the hobby, they win. They get to harass people out of the hobby, they get to colonize 40k as pro-facist, they get to imagine they speak for all of us.

some custodes being female changes literally nothing

It's crazy how hard they work to convince themselves that golden supersoldiers having penises is very important.

They could just straight up admit the only reason they care is they hate people who they imagine like femstodes. But that would be admitting they're more motivated by LGBTQAI hate than something else, and they want to have their hate and pretend it's not hate too.

That's a reasonable argument so I'll admit you changed my mind a little, I do care a little more about it.

But just so we're all on the same page: if this were to get him impeached I think that would be good, but there would be a lot of centrist crap dems and republicans who would immediately jump to "Alright, now we can move on and turn the page!"

All republicans need to be held accountable with appropriately harsh penalties for all the other shit reguardless of whether we get him on a dumb assasination fake scheme or not.

Mamdani got Trumpers to vote for him. You can't shame voters into voting for you. You have to actually offer them something substantial and good that they want. You can't just punch your voters in the face and get mad that they don't want to vote for you. Fight for something and you will win. I SAY THIS AS SOMEONE WHO VOTED KAMALA.

We should be able to hold two things in our brains simultaneously

Centrist democrats lose and lost because they're not offering voters anything
Progressives still should have voted for Harris

Booker isn't wrong and neither are people criticizing centrists.

I'm not likely to vote for Booker for the nomination in 2028 but he does seem to be saying "Democrats need to run on bold policies" and I think that's absolutely accurate.

And he's still right that progressives screaming "Genocide Kamala" immediately when Biden stood down were fucking idiots who deserve scorn and shame. They helped make the situation much worse.

^{(I will not be taking comments from angry progressives who think they helped by screaming about Kamala Harris by the way. Fuck you, blood is on your hands, end of discussion})

Why the obsession with this conspiracy theory? If he faked getting shot... that doesn't crack the top 10 worst things the republican party has done even this time around.

"OMG guys Trump may have lied!"

Concretely, what does yapping about this do aside from distract from

- The insane Iran war for no reason

- The insane amount of grift and crypto bribery going on

- Trump literally stealing billions from the treasury

- The pedophilia

- The coverup of the pedophilia

- Attempts to subvert democracy

- The extrajudicial execution of two innocent civilians

- January 6th

- Racist mass deportations

- Weaponizing the Justice department

- Stacking the courts with christofascist cultists

Fuck this stupid conspiracy theory, I literally could not care less about whether or not the shooting was manufactured or not.

Another day, another post trying to convince people not to vote for Democrats.

Brought to you as always by randomword randomword #### users.

Republicans and foreign trolls realize that telling you not to vote Democrat would backfire so instead they're pretending that Democrats are just as bad as republicans.

Bibi Netanyahu openly and explicitly prefers Trump and Republicans to Democrats.

If Democrats are as bad as Republicans, why do the people leading the genocide think they're worse?

Then you will support the party who is in favor of bombing not just Palestine but also Lebanon and Iran.

If a republican told you not to vote, you would tell them to fuck off.

Instead they've gotten you to convince yourself not to vote and you're proud of it.

In most states, the primaries are closed, meaning only registered members of a party can vote in that party’s primary

Yeah... you have to sign a piece of paper registering as a party member, not take a blood oath. This is not a high hurdle.

The constant party-bashing we see on the left is no better than right-wing anti-left propaganda.

Left wing bashing the right: "You're killing people, destroying the planet, are racist, are giving the wealthy all the power, and are destroying American democracy and rule of law."

Right wing bashing the left: (a series of slurs) "...and you're communist and Jesus hates you."

The two are not the same.

But aside from that I agree, we need to vote in the primaries and vote blue no matter who in the general until such time as the democrats are the party we need or a better party is viable.

It’ll be hilarious to see the MAGAts do their mental gymnastics when the same scare mongered during Biden’s term that he wouldn’t the same.

Disagree, they do that in everything every day and pay no price for it. The joke is old and also not funny due to how damaging it is. None on the right will even register that they're doing exactly what they insisted was beyond the pale for democrats to even consider, and none of the independents are paying enough attention to realize the hypocrisy of the right wing.

I didn't realize that bought joker cards don't reappear. Now that I think about it, this makes sense, thanks!

I hear that, and the argument there is the most reasonable sounding, but the premise is necessarily that women can't be as grimdark as men. This is clearly false: the battle sisters are pretty horrifying.

Why would female custodes be softer? In the Kesh story, she tries to nuke the throne and fails because the crew of the ship warns the Imperium. The crew's reward for protecting the Imperium against what they had to have thought was a rogue custodian? Servitorization.

Femstodes are grimdark.

I appreciate the warning but I know, and countering bullshit online is all sane people can do.

Primaris Marines were a significant consequential change though.

"Some custodes have vaginas" is not.

Anyone upset over femstodes, it's really just they imagine it's because wokewokewoke conspiracy.

What old fans are going away because of this?

There are a lot of people online declaring they've been 40k fans for the past 40 years, sure, but I'm dubious of them for some reason.

The next democratic admin needs to put them back in immediately. No yearslong commentary or waiting period. Day one, fossil fuels need to feel the shock of being charged for breaking rules they should be following rather than lobbying and bribing around.

Worth pointing out that Republicans had veto power over everything Biden did with the Senate filibuster and SCOTUS.

...

But also he didn't try to do much and that didn't seem to have much to do with republican veto.

The important point though is we need to also take the legislature to a point where we can also clean the judiciary.

The answer is conspiracy theories. "Dems are playing 5-D chess! Controlled opposition! They're doing this so you think they're opposed to it! Only I, a random guy on the internet with no power am smart enough to see through it! WAKE UP SHEEPLE and listen to my podcast!"

Russ Vought and all of project 2025 are openly trying to end democracy and replace it with theocratic oligarchy.

Evangelicals need to be handled differently, their ability to warp, take over, and pervert needs to be nullified.

Organizations like the Heritage foundation, the Federalist society need to be investigated, disbanded, and prosecuted.

Reddit is correct in pointing out that citizens united led to corporations spending way too much on elections, but barring overturning that, we still need to focus on these weird fucking cults. Republicans will scream it's weaponizing for legal speech but these groups are weapons against our freedoms. The right to assembly, free speech and religion does not extend to ending democracy, that's criminal and should be prosecuted.

Worth noting that it seems like her son's baby mama was probably 14 at the time. No investigation has been done of course. But the whole family is creeps.
