I went to a centrist rally and they were chanting in unison "Better things aren't possible!"

The democrats must try harder to appeal to the people who say they eat babies

Have you tried eating just 5% to 10% of a baby to bring in more of the baby eater voters?

So all the people that were barking that we could push Biden to the left are now advocating for pushing Biden even further to the right.

How is it possible for the Democrats to be more rightwing?

The Democrats? Biden? Right wing? Absurd.

That would imply that he had continued most of Trump's policies including for immigration, played a key role in provoking and then supplying to the tune of billions of dollars a proxy war in Ukraine that killed and maimed hundreds of thousands and resulted in millions of refugees (and Ukraine will end up a country infested by mines, cluster bombs, and depleted uranium for centuries to come), blown up the Nord Stream pipelines and thus condemned Europe to long-term industrial decline, continued to expand oil drilling, refused to come to any kind of reasonable negotiation on the Iran deal, which America broke and not Iran, stolen Iranian oil, steals the majority of Syria's oil and continued to occupy their country, bailed out banks yet again once they started failing partially in response to interest rates which were increased due to significant inflation (without giving a shit about regular people), presided over the loss of Roe vs Wade without doing much of anything, presided over a national wave of violent anti-transgender policies being enacted without doing much of anything, are likely to soon resume student loan payments, got hundreds of thousands of people killed due to coronavirus while saying that the pandemic is over and now every person and insitution even trying to keep a vague count of the death toll are finding it impossible to do so because the Democrats could not give less of a shit, crushed the railway union strike while pretending that they wanted their strike to be crushed and then cynically went to a picket line to talk about the fucking middle class, shown zero actual resolve against Israel which is conducting an actual genocide against Palestinians while railing against a Ughyur genocide in China, continued putting sanctions on everybody who vaguely disagrees with the US, including on China, to the extent that it's harming America's ability to do a green transition because solar panels are largely made in China, had an obvious role in overthrowing Castillo in Peru and has sent troops there, also overthrew Khan in Pakistan (and probably other places I've forgotten about), raised the military budget to comical levels while every other institution stagnates and declines, and played a key role in using the IMF and other organizations to increase global debt to a record high of $307 trillion in service of American empire.

Are you seriously implying that a kind old man like Joe Biden and a progressive party like the Democrats has done all those things?

(We still have a year left of his presidency, and potentially five years more, and already I think he's up there in the Worst Presidents of All Time rankings in term of pure negative impact on the United States, the world, and its population. The man has shambled around the world leaving death and destruction in his wake - though also critically weakened the empire in the process.)
- Give me an iPad baby hitting decisions from a multiple choice box given by staffers in-between AI generated children's videos and you'd probably get a better track record
- and Ukraine will end up a country infested by mines, cluster bombs, depleted uranium, and militarily experienced Nazis for centuries to come

Imagine being such a loser that you think Joseph Robinette Biden’s biggest weakness is that his policies are too aggressive

My man is walking on imaginary egg shells.
- he is much like the horse who, upon being tied to a plastic chair, stays put, because he does not realize that it is lightweight, and not firmly attached to the ground.

jfc this guy has to be the result of a lab experiment to see how much of an annoying lib one person can be, it's uncanny

I really hate the guy and I used to be surprised that he's not ratioed all the time. Finally I realized that he knows how package his horrible ideas in just the right way so the concepts seem reasonable to many people.

All you need to do is read between the lines to see how bad his opinions are but he knows the average American can't/won't do that.

  he also knows better than to be the host or a frequent guest of a podcast... have you ever heard him speaking? let's just say that his ideas are not the only really annoying thing about him
It's funny that he can't even take the bag and just become a right-wing grifter and then retire young. Instead he's gotta keep the lib grindset going, causing just as much damage to society but with none of the money.

Yglesias is just a closet conservative who can't imagine coming out because of the social circles he runs in.

The Democrats should do absolutely nothing, ever. Pass no bills. Make no executive orders. Take no legislative action. In fact don't even bring the legislature into session. This is the only way to heal the soul of America

It would already be better than what they are actually doing.

Matt Yglesias shut the fuck up challenge

Difficulty: impossible

I usually don’t like advocating for such things, but Matt Yglesias and Tim Pool deserve to be dragged to a public square and beaten to an inch of death simply for being annoying.

if we go metric we could make that a centimeter

This shit never makes sense. Just cancel all medical debt and they'd win the election

It would be bad if the democrats actually and seriously said they had a plan to cancel all medical debt. I'd die of shock.
- theyd figure out some way to fuck it up like it would immediately get turned down by some unelected judge or they deliberately sabotage their own proposal by tying it to mandatory sterilization of indigenous people or some shit
- i would just assume they were lying since a good 90% of elected democrats are members of the bourgeois class, and they own financial assets like stocks, and it is therefore in their class interests to make sure working class debt to corporations is not attacked. Such a promise to their voters would merely be bait. They would forget all such promises after getting elected, and would blame circumstances, procedure and/or opposition for not fulfilling their promises.

Democracy is when liberals must organize, as a bloc, to make themselves even more reactionary to prove the peoples' worthiness of a second Biden/Harris term.

Just give up your morals! This is more important than standing up for what you believe in! CANT YOU SEE WE HAVE TO FIGHT THE BIG BAD!! WHAT IF THE OTHER GUY WINS!!!

Um actually the Vox Liberal chant would be

"Better things aren't passable! nerd "

we gotta get! 👏 more! 👏 racist! 👏

Can someone please break his hands and fingers so he can't type any more?! Pleeeeease

if he has vocal cords he can use speech-to-text
- We could enlist a vet whose done the vocal cord cutting procedure on dogs.

I love throwing percentages around on "serious" analysis like they mean something. How do you get 5% less progressive on police abolition? Should we do 10% less war crimes?

maybe we could grind 12.372% less homeless into protein powder
- Slow your roll chief. Thats good protein.
Someone suggest giving 10% less to Ukraine & watch him backtrack

10 percent to the right of center if it effects them personally.

He's such a LIB

Only problem with that song is they're always 10 degrees to the right of center, and more like 50 if it affects them personally.

I think the democrats need to set their sights on locking down the mermaid vote.

I think it's the next logical step seeing as how they've spent decades campaigning to imaginary voters now.

With ocean levels rising, it's a hot new demographic!

"Yeah, something normal, like 5-10% less progressive. It's worked great* the last 20-10 times!" very-intelligent

using twitter will have you saying things like "weird" and "normal" about politics, a hobby only slightly below zoophilia on the normalcy scale.

Has anyone ever tried that before? Just lying and saying they're super racist/nazi, get elected in a landslide by the masses who love nazi shit, and then pass a bunch of progressive shit behind people's backs as they shower the sheeple with empty platitudes?

no, but they do the inverse all the time. if anything that's the default tactic for "progressives."
- I will never understand why fascists feel the need to hide their beliefs when the masses will never shut up about their undying love for Hitler or the KKK.
  
  It's our beliefs that alienate the average person and it gets tiring having to sugar coat "please at least TRY to respect someone other than yourself you worthless narcissists."
Cultural dengism with American characteristics. So crazy it just might work.

ah yes, if we merely concede 5-10% of our territory to our opponents, they will look favorably upon us and compromise with us, rather than taking advantage of our weakness

Yes and the progressive positions which should be relaxed are those pertaining to civil rights protections that at the moment prevent the state from summarily executing Mr Yglesias.

How is this guy real?

He is like some AI bad take machine

a bad take for the proletariat is a good take for the bourgeoisie. he is simply an embodiment of bourgeois class consciousness.
I hadn't heard of him so Poe's Law got me hard
How is this guy real?

His voice synthesizer module needs a lot of work. Seriously though - have you ever heard him speak? - https://hexbear.net/comment/4030043

I hadn't until just before I posted that comment. His voice is a trip.
