"This is NOT a purity spiral"

That's just what a purity spiral would say

I am conflicted

On the one hand, it sounds like maybe something significant that has nothing to do with political propaganda

On the other hand, it is Second Thought

I think I will grab the transcript without giving the video a long enough watch that it counts as a view, and see what it has to say

I like my democracy and I don’t like bullshit designed to undermine it

Sorry

List a jurisdiction where you say it happened, and I’ll link you to the court records of what the Republicans actually said happened, once they were in court and would have to back up their wild and outlandish lies

The asterisk is explained up top, and they only indicate who won when it is backwards from the popular vote total.

I’m not sold on this as a metric because it’s comparing the ratio of two bad things

Like, if homelessness started going down, then we would have 50 empty homes for every homeless person. Oh no! Things got even more unequal!

Homelessness is bad + empty homes because of equity real estate are bad. Just bring them both down. We can still have 27 homes per person and there be 100 homeless people and 2,700 empty homes.

Maybe the Kharkiv counteroffensive?

Dude was in charge of the defense of Kyiv early in the war, and of the counteroffensive in the North that succeeded so well everyone forgot there was ever a northern front line inside of Ukraine. That’s one hell of a resume man.

Dude that’s fuckin perfect

He can’t support Harris because she is sane and a woman, and if he endorsed Trump, I think there’s a certain number of people who would respond by voting for him. By endorsing the spoiler candidate, he dilutes into harmlessness the impact of a certain number of people who if they are still listening to Rogan in this year of our lord 2024, would probably be Trump voters. I applaud this move.
