I'll start: They are very good at being controlled opposition.

I just love the Democrats. I really like hanging out with my friends in the county Democratic Party and helping get out the vote for all the hot races. County commissioners court. State House. State Senate. U.S. Congress. U.S. Senate. There are so many to choose from!

lol at liberals somewhere online talking about how they're shocked Biden's admin sucks rear end and saying it was nice to at least have a little bit of time where they had hope.

They're gonna vote for him in 4 years again. Easily.

Democrats are very good at teaching their base to never retain information.
listen, i voted for biden because i believe in america.

i like the big sticker i get when i vote. i like to put it on my jacket and walk around where other people can see me. i feel like a citizen, like an adult. i think people who don't vote should be forced to live in slums of mcdonald's playscape tubes and sewer pipes and this should funnel them all towards a giant hamster wheel they can run on until they learn the value of voting.

every election year, i like it when people chant for their candidates and cheer and wear color-coded clothing and such. this is tribalism, which is scary, but it's beautiful in a way.

democrats are not asking you to joystick a predator drone on to pakistani children or something here, they're asking for your vote in presidential races and midterms. and a phonebank. and a button collection purchase. and a credit card max-out. that's because big challenges require big solutions.

from what i can tell "post-left" is like an unholy combination of pseudo-academic smugness and acting like a bourgeois tourist of the militia movement. don't think they ever really "got it" while being on the left in a similar manner to the trot-neocon pipeline. for some its a phase, like anarchism, but i respect the anarchists more for spending their youth dumpster diving for smashed vegan garbage cakes

I have considered your scorn in the context of the situation referenced as well as the phrase, "Don't mess with Texas." It was an advertising slogan devised for the department of transportation in the 1980s to encourage Texans to stop throwing their beer cans and other litter on the road. It was crafted deliberately to appeal to the rugged individualistic Texan psyche, to manipulate them into viewing littering on grounds owned by the state of Texas as a besmirchment of the very concept of being Texan; an attack on the honor every Texan. It was subsequently adopted by other forces looking to achieve some sort of resonance with Texans while issuing a general challenge to the world, from numerous artists and musicians using it as a lyrical phrase, to Governor George Bush using it to appeal to his base, to the U.S. Navy (painting it on one of their nuclear submarines), to the Confederate Air Force (a warbird preservation society styling itself literally into squadrons, which following criticism and mocking eventually became the Commemorative Air Force instead of something with a brazenly racist name) using it in a commercial where a B-17 bomber one of their members owned lined up a bombing run on a litterbug.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlFD0Zyl_f0

Ominous threats and the obvious message of "please don't litter" aside, the phrase itself has two contextually important meanings. The first is, "I'm trying to manipulate Texans." The second is, "I've so thoroughly huffed my own Texan farts that I really believe in this idea of Texan exceptionalism."

In the former context my words could be seen as a challenge to Texans: prove yourselves or be mocked. In the latter, it's just openly mocking the very idea of anything about Texas being exceptional or worthy of praise; quintessential punching down, which is at best in bad taste. The situation in Texas, where their infrastructure failed badly and repeatedly for want of any sort of planning for unusually cold conditions (something less likely to have happened had the Texan power grid been subjected to federal oversight like the other electrical grids in America), where their political leadership failed to lead (something completely predictable), and where their ability to provide electricity at reasonable cost to their citizens resulted in one electric company filing chapter 11 bankruptcy and another having a massive class-action lawsuit filed against it (and being denied access to wholesale electricity following their gouging Texans) was a comedy of failures where the people who were hurt the most were the ones who are, largely, the most susceptible to overt manipulation like "Don't Mess With Texas."

In conclusion, lol.

y'know, if you ask me, people get too caught up on the particulars. "oh, she wore a dress, what a bimbo" or "did you hear what glenn greenwald said today" when none of that really matters, if you think about it. who will remember that 20 years from now? maybe the guy who designed the dress. it's more that a whole economic era is coming to an end and that's a global thing. even individual countries can't do much about it, let alone some congresswoman from the bronx

they called him the CSPAM songbird, but don't let his singin' voice fool ya. one of his other nicknames was the west texas doorknob slobber, on account of a slimy trail he left behind on his way to get to portland. far from being a ray of sunshine though, he turned out to be the singing gunslinger from hell, and hearing him talk and seein' where he ended up was very much a treat. his aim could've used some work, though
