Truly truly shitty.
That's a compliment coming for communist.
Truly truly shitty.
Indeed, we are currently witnessing a quite strange series of North Korean–like reeducation confessionals, from repenting erstwhile liberals and now presidential hopefuls such as Joe Biden, Tulsi Gabbard, Kamala Harris, and Kirsten Gillibrand. They and other would-be candidates parade before show cameras to apologize for their prior incorrect heresies, including their erstwhile support for drug laws, tough sentencing, and border enforcement.
Presidential elections are now to be seen by the Left not as the end of a four-year political cycle. Instead, they are the beginning of an any-means-necessary, existential effort to reverse the proverbial will of the people and to remove or delegitimize the president. From now on, if the Left loses, then everything is in theory on the table: seeking removal of the victor by warping the Electoral College vote; or suing under the Logan Act, the emoluments clause, or the 25th Amendment; or cherry-picking federal judges to block presidential orders; or using the Congress to impeach the president; or unleashing a special counsel for years of investigation.
In other words, we are in a revolutionary cycle in which the old idea of Democrat or liberal is being superseded by progressivism — and then going well beyond even that. The new generation of Democrats no longer resents “socialist” as a right-wing slur, and “Communist” may well go through the same rehabilitation.
The new, new Left questions not the operation of American democracy but the very premise of American democracy. When the selection of the Senate leads to something abhorrent like a counterrevolutionary majority, then the Founders are proven wrong after all, and senators should not be apportioned two to a state but by population at large. The Electoral College should be ended entirely, to reflect the reality that America is the urbanized corridors of the East and West Coasts where the right people live. The Bill of Rights, especially the First and Second Amendments, is considered an impediment to social justice.
What explains this accelerating transformation of so many liberals into progressives, and so many progressives into hard-core leftists, socialists, and who knows what next? The reasons predated Trump Derangement Syndrome.
We are also reaping the fruits of the new university run by hard-core leftists who have indoctrinated a generation with progressive envy and anger, while offering them little education. The resulting ignorance and arrogance make a lethal combination. Professors now in their late sixties can remember old-fashioned liberals of the 1970s and 1980s whose politics were incidental to their professional expertise, but there is now almost no one left in the academy who recalls such dinosaurs.
Instead, after the early 1980s, now-tenured progressives sought to produce leftists who took over and produced socialists. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a valuable reminder of how university education results in self-importance coupled with witlessness.
Enabling people to live unhealthy lifestyles because they are worried about hurt feelings is what shitty people do.
And yet you support the man who tore up Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move program that was designed to combat child obesity rates and promote healthy habits to those that may struggle otherwise to have exposure to them. Spare us the crocodile tears and false moral superiority.

Meh, people should be able to be as fat and disgusting as they want to be. However, anyone over 350lbs or so should be required to buy 2 tickets. We should have a weigh-in right after TSA search.
I think the biggest thing we should do is embrace fat shaming. The idea people shouldn't be called out for being fat and unhealthy blows my mind.

a few quotes for intellectually lazy lubes too lethargic to click:
The projection here is SO MIGHTY. Hilarious how the Democrats are the ones who will do anything to remove presidents (something something Bill Clinton) and are the ones who block any judicial appointments or really anything the president tries to accomplish (something something Barack Obama).
Yeah, pretty much. But the founders wore magic underwear and could see the future with crystal-clear vision, so we should roll with their thoughts forever and for always.
The US is the only democratic country where someone can get less votes and win. But it's the Democrats who are the real threat to democracy
If anything motivates people to be healthier, it’s shame.
They found that shame "was uniquely associated with the motivation to change the self above and beyond moral self-blame and harm to others."
What if the flight is full?
