It is extremely good that unlike many far-left politicians around the world, Bernie is extremely solid in his support for Ukraine.

I don’t want to hear any Republicans talk about “freedom” unless they have the guts to call out Trump for the lies that he is telling about Putin and Ukraine. It was Russia that started the war, not Ukraine. Putin is the dictator, not Zelensky.

"Where do centrists find our Mamdani?" You had your Mamdani. His name was Barack Obama. He had once-in-a-generation charisma. And because centrism is a bankrupt, useless ideology, he was a terrible president. You had your chance, sorry!

Remember when Republicans drew Virginia's Congressional map so Black people were packed into one district and said we should be grateful they gave our community this district. NOW they can have one district and see how much they love it.

this is so blackpilling. raising property taxes to fund education is good left-wing policy, and it cost democrats dozens of seats in the most progressive state in america. remember this when people say that voters will reward democrats for moving left.

The Vermont Legislature touched the third rail last year (raised property taxes) and Dems lost their supermajorities in both chambers.

The replies to this are really fascinating. None of these far-left people really believe that the pre-1950 colonialist era was better than 1950-2022. They just disagree with the idea of comparisons. Of different levels of bad. Everything bad is infinity bad.

1950-2022 was the most peaceful time in world history. This was also the period of time when America decided to stop sitting on the sidelines as the world burned. In 2025, we are officially encouraging the people who burn the world to continue. The world is going to war again.

If you make fun of a stranger's appearance to an audience of hundreds of thousands of people simply because they support something that will reduce the suffering of countless animals, you're actually going to Hell. Sorry, I don't make the rules.

I spent 200 bucks getting the German SPD toaster shipped to New Zealand. Worth it.

The evidence is clear that 18 year olds are now a conservative voting group across much of the developed world.

The results of the Norwegian school election have just been published. This is a mock election held at Norwegian secondary schools, with voters being age ~16-19. I have mapped out the results, which show the right-wing parties doing much better than among the general electorate.

I'm sorry, but every argument I see against proportional representation is asinine. If Germany had a two-party system, the AfD and CDU would be mostly in the same party, and there would be no firewall, and you'd have fascists in government. Like, uh, what happened in the US.

Linke + AfD surge very reminiscent of the 1930 German election. Proportional representation lets ideologically extreme parties obtain representation in government very easily.

Of course that's your contention. You're a second-term Republican Senator. You just finished reading the Wikipedia page for the Civil Rights Act, you're gonna be convinced of that until next month when you get to PragerU, then you're gonna be talking about how...

Nonsense. That shameful filibuster was led by Democrats—your party. My party—the Republicans—proudly voted for the Civil Rights Act in much higher percentages than the racist Dems.

When a gerrymander is this severe, I don't think it's functionally that different from stealing an election. There is no amount of retaliatory gerrymandering that can be done in blue states, that I would not approve of.
