Dem weirdos dreaming up tournament-style solutions to Joe Biden being the nominee and Catturd-grade reactionary types crying about cheating in the French election have one crucial thing in common, which is that they transparently lack the emotional maturity and patience required to be sports fans.

If you want pluralism and a liberal democracy, you have to vigorously maintain it. Always have. You don't build bridges and never inspect them. You don't build houses and never check the roof. You don't build roads and never fill in potholes. Society has always required maintenance. Always has.
How do we adjust to a world where major democracies have long-term viable fascist parties? It feels like we'll just be having existential election after existential election, and we have to win every time whereas they only have to win once.

The @nytimes.com is not a serious publication.
The New York Times is always so hopeful.

I have never read one of these "we need a party for the politically homeless" pieces that does not go on to straightforwardly describe Democrats.

"Leftists and centrists united to defeat fascists in France. Here's why that's bad news for Joe Biden."
France was awaiting the results of a runoff parliamentary election on Sunday that drew high voter turnout and was likely to bring major change to the nation’s political landscape while weakening the centrist President Emmanuel Macron. Follow live updates.

They saw a threat to the Republic and responded. If someone from the French far left could vote for Macron's party, then anything is possible. To add, a lot of centrists voted far left too. You just gotta hold your nose and vote for the non-fascist. It's called being an adult.

lmao, they’re running from *threads*? PG-rated twitter? twitter for people who can’t fight? lol
Wow. @nytimes.com has closed their Threads account and left the platform after days of getting just shredded in the replies for their handling of Biden post debate. Now they're getting dog piled on Instagram for running from Threads.

Otto has a cousin named Elias Hargrove.
My only complaint is that they should have shoehorned more thin connections to other comics lore in. Name the doctor who delivers baby Peter Parker "Kevin Octavius" and make it clear he's Otto's cousin.

I am apparently on a "Shitlibs and Zionists" block list. Most I've said about Israel is that Biden is acting in accordance with longstanding US foreign policy, and that he should be doing more. Shitlib because... I guess I'm not an accelerationist?

I wonder if at all this is why the RNC is also adopting its platform behind closed doors this year... 🤔
genuinely hopeful sign that every big name GOP garbage monster is frantically trying to distance themselves from Project Say The Quiet Part Loud In an Easily-Digestible Bullet Point Format About Which There Can Be No Confusion. this means we should all absolutely continue never shutting up about it

"Joe Biden is a zero on infrastructure" is a "Stephen Curry isn't a good shooter" level take, I cannot believe someone actually threw that out there
