But he hasn't been a center-left authoritarian dictator!

The President is goalie. You want to change stuff, you have to get Congress. And enough of Congress that your 51st vote in the Senate will vote to kill the filibuster.

Just a smol bean president

My 10 year old suggested that you watch this, since you’re obviously unfamiliar with the most basic aspects of the American political system: youtu.be/SZ8psP4S6BQ?...

that cartoon ruined my life. Well that and “No Roger No Rerun No Rent.” Lot of GenX lives wasted in political science because of 70s television

Well, that’s a good way to ruin your life! Seriously, there are a LOT of adults who don’t understand how legislation works.

Is your 10 year old aiding a genocide?

Sure found a way to bypass Congress then!

Oh, look -- another imbecile with a total non sequitur! Bye, imbecile!

Just a widdle biddy pwesident

I’m trying to imagine how absolutely and impenetrably stupid you’d have to be to go with that response. I’m not dealing with morons. Bye!

but we're going to vote for him anyway

Imagine that, a Smith grad who writes for the New Yorker having the luxury to ignore all that

It’s about time to send all of Trump’s Hometown Media to the penalty box until they learn to see past the Hudson

(Or north of 125th)

too generous..96th

I thought about that but they sure were invested in Columbia last spring

good point

NGL kinda disappointed.

The number of media people who have revealed themselves to subscribe to the Green Lantern Theory of the presidency in the past week is astounding!

My brain is going to process the level of wrongness from an allegedly educated professional all day

"Helen Rosner is an American food writer and editor. She is food correspondent for The New Yorker." I guess knowing what Potage à la Julienne is gives one a greenlight to post left-coded Q drops on here.

I just saw this and am too lazy to do my own research ... I take it you're not joking. And I already couldn't believe anyone would post what she did about abortion, but knowing job? We're living in a simulation and the writers are on drugs.

Unfortunately no: www.helenlikesyou.com But it's possible that this is, mercifully, satire and not what she genuinely believes

Good. Her page seemed interesting w/a couple of articles I plan to read. And, it wouldn't be the first time Poe's Law bit me. It's really hard to tell these days, esp. if you're unfamiliar w/a person's work.

Every big account becomes the same dumb damn fucking account

I know not everyone is a politics sicko like me, but come the fuck on

9. Probably the most anti-trust admin in the last 40 years.

Lol she deleted and is sarcastically saying fine I love joe biden. Man I cannot imagine having an ego so big you can't admit you just don't know some shit. And still be a person ever worth listening to again.

What was her post? I never got to see it.

I don’t recall the exact wording, but it was something like “I’m not a single-issue Palestine voter. I also care about trans rights, reproductive care, universal healthcare, paid family leave, [thing I don’t remember], net neutrality, carbon emissions, and gun control, and Biden sucks at those.”

The thing you don't remember was infrastructure

The wording was "Biden's batting 0 on those." Then later she complained that "batting zero" means "is inadequate" not "has done nothing"

Of course. I saw people defending her and her later justification. Of course "inadequate" and "battling zero" are, well, not the same thing. (And even "inadequate" is very stupid about several of those.) But she couldn't admit being wrong.

Incredible stuff. Depressing stuff.

I believe the ending wasn’t just that he sucks at those but was that he’s batting .000 in them. Which, uh.

She was forgetting a 1 on the front there.

I don't remember specifically other than it was clear she was stunningly ignorant of what's gone on in politics, policy & lawmaking in the last 3 yrs. Shocking for who she is. Here's a quote skeet responding to some of her complaints that might help bsky.app/profile/bubb...

Oh fuck you already saw that 🤦‍♀️

Dems will always be their own worst enemy. What an aggressively stupid statement from OP.

I’m not sure OP is a Dem. Seems more like a non-voter.

She deleted the post. The New York media elite is not giving us their best these last few days.

Just wanted to say for all the outrage about the end of net neutrality the restoration got very little press.

It's almost as if Helen has made her mind up already & will never be convinced by anything.

Yeah, her privilege is dripping.

Would be nice if @hels.bsky.social would listen to the facts laid out by someone who is literally being prosecuted by Biden’s DOJ.
