the thing is, the US has pretty much always been a two-party state. after a term or two the other party will regain power, that's just the way it is. if the other guy winning will result in "catastrophe", what's the solution then? a one-party state? ๐Ÿค”

Biden's approval rating is in the dumps? Must be those god damn tankies brainwashing everyone in c/[email protected]

when the Quinnipiac poll came out showing Biden at 25% favorability with voters under 35, I saw so many excuses from liberals:

  • young people are ageist
  • young people believe whatever they see on Tiktok
  • young people have a hard time discerning nuance (no really someone literally said this ๐Ÿ˜‚)

and a few days ago I saw a post from George Takei like, "young people need to learn that sometimes we vote for someone even if we don't like everything about them" as if he were telling a toddler to eat their peas. why are they so condescending?? and anyway, I did vote for Biden without liking everything about him, but now his issues have become too serious for me to turn a blind eye anymore

Prominent journal editor fired for retweeting Onion article about disregard for Palestinian lives in c/[email protected]

in the US, supporting Palestine has always been the minority view, but when did it become so completely unacceptable to the point that people are getting fired over it? this feels very sudden and weird to me
