I do believe, after seeing how the DNC is learning (or more accurately, absolutely refusing to learn) from this absolute debacle, that the Democratic Party is straight up finished.

If elections are allowed in 2026, the DNC may subject all of us to one last feeble attempt to move towards the center in the midterms, and if they win it’ll be a dead cat bounce (just because the GOP demonstrably SUCKS at governing, and Democratic candidates can just run on “we’re not those fucking idiots”). They’re obviously completely co-opted by corporations and rich people at this point, and that’s not getting rolled back, despite the fact that that fact is a huge part of why they snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. And the article is more or less expressing that last sentence.

Scholz (the spineless fuck) has already reached out to Putin.

Ukraine’s going to follow through on making a crash nuclear weapons program, and I do believe that they can pull it off.

We’re unfortunately going to do an about-face on supporting them when Trump gets in, and they’re going to have to fend for themselves. Scholz (that cowardly invertebrate) has already reached out to Putin instead of figuring out what to do with France and Poland and the UK in terms of supporting Ukraine.

Ukraine’s only real option for posing a threat credible enough to Russia that they back the fuck off is nukes.

Lmao cry me a fuckin river. This is fucking peak leopards-rating-faces territory.

Optics. Because we’re the ones launching them.

Lmao no fucking way. That’s hilarious

Ok so I’m like… not upset about this at all. Also, I know this is the millennial equivalent of “get off my lawn”, but fuck me if I don’t find the concept of “being an influencer” fucking dumb. Do a thing you love, post the content if you think you’re good, and be a known expert with a following. Don’t just PR for the sake of doing PR and then hope people listen to you. What the fuck even is that?

Interesting! Thank you for the information! And yeah, while “center-right” isn’t something I’m enthusiastic about, tbh it’d be hard to do worse than Orban, imo.

A firearm is very much a tool in some non-combat applications. Ranching, for instance.

Any Hungarians around who can provide additional colloquial context on the challenger?

The (infuriating, I absolutely agree) choice was “Gaza in rubble”, or “Gaza AND the West Bank AND wherever else Israel feels like annexing (probably a good chunk of Lebanon) in rubble, and the possibility of open war with Iran”.

Glad you got what you thought you wanted, I guess.

Hey, Arab American Trump voters:

WE FUCKING TOLD YOU SO. YOU FUCKING IMBECILES.

Fuck, dude. That sucks.

I’ve had to go through that, and it’s awful. Just try to remember: you love your pup and made her whole life better, and she love the fuck out of you for it. Not letting her linger and suffer, while tragic, is simply a final - albeit deeply bittersweet - act of fundamental love.

I want that timeline. Can we please have that timeline?

Tbh I’m having a hard time understanding why these authoritarian leaders are basically low key begging Ukraine to actually commit to their theoretically-possible crash nuclear program they’ve mentioned a couple times. They can do it. If people stop giving them support, they will.

How’s he gonna Dodge the repo man?

lol nice, another fellow user of the term “meatspace”. I find the term quite self explanatory, but I often have to explain it to people when I allow it into my vernacular.
