Correct, they do in fact do those things. What were you trying to say?

Megathread: Supreme Court overturning affirmative action, rejected biden original student loan forgiveness plan and lastly, deals blow to LGBT rights in web designer case.
Reply in thread
She was also not a web designer lol. Insane ruling by the SCOTUS, totally ignoring standing. Same issue with the student debt relief overturning. This court does not care about standing at all and is willing to throw out that most basic principle of law for the purpose of their judicial activism.

Alabama GOP refuses to draw second Black district, despite Supreme Court order
Reply in thread
If it's anything like Ohio in 2022, they just ignore the court order to redraw it and there's no recourse.

As in because the pendulum swings from the far left to the far right? Or were you just mistakenly conflating those two completely opposite political theories?

Do you plan on answering the actual questions they've been asking you at some point or are you going to keep answering stuff they didn't ask?

RFK Jr.: Media hitting me harder than Trump
Reply in thread
Almost all TV media is left wing. Most online media is left wing. Social media is left wing.
Literally none of this is true. The only universe this is true in is the one where anything left of fascism is "left wing."

Arizona Republican refers to Black Americans as 'colored people' in House floor debate
Reply in thread
An easy way to pick out racists in the modern day is if they just casually call black people "blacks." It seems to be one of the words that, although it's not used by non-racists, hasn't been phased out by some of the less explicit racists yet in the way "colored people" has.

This couldn't be a more astroturfed comment if it tried. This reads like it came directly from the mouth of Steve Bannon.

Voting blue in specific locations in Colorado will actually do things. If 600 people from FL moved to Boebert's district and voted blue in 2022 she'd be out of the House. Do that in a couple of districts across the country and Dems would control Congress and be able to actually pass policy again. People can move to blue states and still have an impact; the Presidency isn't the only thing that matters.

Dore hasn't been a leftist in a long while, but he's probably endorsing him because Dore and RFK are both massive anti-vax conspiracy theorists.

Go Woke, Go Broke? Barbie’s Opening Weekend Sales Smash Expectations

That's cool, you should specify from the onset that your experience comes from a place outside of the actual country where the "woke" culture war originated and is mainly happening, and you should still link stats to demonstrate that the majority of people there have a misunderstanding of what the word means like you claimed. Claims made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence, and most people in the country driving the "woke" culture war still know what the word means.

The movie was definitely woke in the traditional meaning of the word before conservatives tried (and failed) to change it. Not only was it a very feminist movie, they also took specific aim at Citizens United and capitalism broadly, which makes it a squarely, unambiguously left-leaning movie.

No it doesn't. It means the same thing to most people that it has always meant.

The right just has so much insane propaganda about it that you've been convinced most people fell for it, which they haven't.

For real, the state is saved by having Chicago in it, otherwise it'd be as much of a shithole state as the surrounding ones.

Is there a timeline on when Wisconsin possibly becomes something resembling a democracy again thanks to their new Supreme Court though?

They certainly adopt rhetoric from the left which helps them get elected, then enact exclusively right-wing policies when they actually have power, sure. Fascists usually use populist rhetoric to get into power but then they never do anything to actually reduce inequality (because that would be the opposite of fascism).

First Amendment group sues Texas Governor and others over the state's TikTok ban on official devices
Reply in thread
For real, this is one of the very few things right-wingers are correct about. Of course they're correct because they're hawkish on China rather than because it's bad to let authoritarian countries have literal spyware on the devices of your citizens, but something something broken clocks. That being said, I think a carve out for universities studying media would make sense at least, but hopefully the whole thing doesn't get overturned.
