This email kind of confirms the idea that liberalism is built upon nothing but liberals’ insatiable desire to feel intellectually and morally superior to everyone around them
Yeah they need that feeling of intellectual elevation at all costs, it's why they hate simplifying their pitch to the American public in any way even if it would win them popular support, and love to cite technicalities to shut down people's hopes for Dem leaders to do anything.
Somebody literally asks them to campaign at them and they roll their eyes and tell you to read their website because they love homework.
It's just terrible UX anyway, to link to the general website and not directly to your policy page.
It's terrible if you actually care about people looking at your policy page.
It's perfect if your goals is to make somebody scroll past a donation link to get to your policy page.
they were literally the grade school kids who would remind the teacher about assigning homework
gotta justify capitalism as meritocracy somehow
fascism does love in-group/out-group dynamics that are taken as self-evident
yeah my phone's been ringing non stop with all the podcasters trying to reach me
They talked a big game about parasocial relationships, but now that Biden lost they've shown that they really do want to be my friends.
Too late now!
they crave context
omg the list of accomplishments on their website 😂
Rallying the World in Support of Ukraine
Since the start of Vladimir Putin’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, President Biden has rallied the world to stand with Ukraine, defend democracy, and stand up to autocracy.
unprovoked
didn't even call it full-scale!
Ukraine was just sitting there, minding it's own business trying to genocide Russians and inviting hostile American bases and nuclear weapons inside when out of the blue Russia attacked them!
The way most non-tankies cannot or refuse to understand spheres of influence, encirclement, what it means to have intermediate nuclear missiles along your borders, just staggers me. As long as it's their team westphalian sovereignty is inviolable.
They understand it when the other guys are doing it though. They understand that Russia flying planes right next to their airspace is a threat. They understand that China pushing out western capital in Africa is threat. They also understand that the USSR was threathening the evil empire by stationin nukes in Cuba, although they are militantly uncurious about what made the USSR and Cuba make that decision.
Lol are they actually mad they got ratio'd on Twitter by those podcast nerds?
Yeah either Obama or David Axelrod forced the Pod Jons to issue semi-apologies.
Cowards should've doubled down.
I guess all that sweet sweet neoliberal blood money's just too hard to kick
Doubt it was Axelrod. He was saying it was a disaster as a pundit immediately afterwards.
My panicked aunt, Thomas Friedman of the New York Times.
hey kid, don't trust your lying eyes or those of seemingly everyone around you
this is our final, most essential command
he did not have a stroke on stage and shit himself. he did not. he did not.
self-important Podcasters
Holy fuck lmao 
they're not even talking about 
, they mean the Pod Johns, the most in-the-pocket blue boosters around.
What did the pod johns do that has them so salty I missed it
I believe one of them pointed out Biden was president now when he said that if he was re-elected he would reinstate roe v wade
That was actually Pod Damn America's Jake Flores, the Pod John response was that Biden's debate performance was a "fucking disaster," which drew insane ire from their listeners and the staffers who feed them guests.
Oof. Yeah they have lost the lanyards which is really something. Every single nyt article now just is filled with calls for his resignation. And all they're talking about is how the donors are reacting. Amazing really.
I do hope he drops if nothing else because this shit is just sad. Even trump feels bad for the guy. Watching them weekend at Bernie's this corpse for six months and then losing every single swing state will be devoid of all joy, not even schadenfreude.
who would you believe, us, or your lying eyes
Literally just hello citizen! Here are your government set talking points. Be sure to propagandize your friends and family! And remember: if they don't come around to them, they may be an undesirable or Russian stooge and it's your duty to report them (to Reddit).
Sending the party-approved talking points directly to their bluemaga followers is a pretty good tactic, ngl
This party has its head so far in the sand they can probably see the metropolis of the ancient mole civilization.
they capitalized "Podcasters"
We need those machines we need those machines we need those machines
more of a Certain Dog
Listing "panicked aunt, MAGA uncle" is subtle misogyny
eh maybe, men in the US being right wing is a real phenomenon. take a look at some electoral maps if only men voted. also on a personal level this is a thing my hetero women friends hate about dating.
I don't think that is just an American phenomenon, men tends to be more right-wing than women. Men are swine.
"Panicked" is basically synonymous with hysterical. Just a bad look to lead off with "hysterical woman"
Delude yourself and delude everyone around you
At some level you must admire these wankers' commitment to the bit. Genocide Joe is super-Jesus and if reality veers it's ugly head in there and tries to convince them otherwise then reality itself is wrong.
self-important Podcasters*
*newest fad 
It's like they expect people to act like they want to win for them. The indifference and inflexibility are exasperating.
Uh oh your astute observations just got 5 pinocchios!
