I don't like the woke movement either, but I like the "Race war now!" movement far, FAR, FAR LESS...

He’s single because he never takes that beanie off.

Dude has some serious self esteem issues. I’ve seen fat chicks with better rizz than him.

Guys (et al), please don't make fun of the dim fool's name. It's rude and frankly immature.

Edited: spelling

Like he wasn’t voting libertarian before.

What's really sad is that I see plenty of this among my community. They get mad at stuff that they're willing to flip over other side just to get back at them or something.

Tim Poole is so inconsistent with his own opinions that he regularly contradicts himself within the same thought. It's incredibly cringe inducing and wildly frustrating to even hate listen to his show. He also does some really blaringly racist cherry picking for topics and constantly pushes the "crime is out of control" narrative with only anecdotal evidence. I utterly hate his show and wish he would actually face some repercussions for his Russian payoff (he won't but I wish he would).

Theres more than one clip (I think by Some More News) of him stopping mid-sentence while reading as he realizes the article completely debunks the point he's trying to make and passing it off like it still made his point.

That's exactly it, and this tweet image was none other than Cody Showdy himself.

Tim Pool got his start being a shill against the Occupy Wall Street protestors in 2010 and 2011, like many of the fascists we all know and hate, such as Stephen Crowder. The idea that he has voted democrat until now is such a joke it is practically an anti-joke.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

He never actually says he voted Democrat before. Just that this is his first time voting republican. So he either didn't vote or voted libertarian.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

He kinda implied it though.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

Of course he did.

Russia's government pays better to spread FUD and bigoted propaganda than maintaining principled values like truth, liberty, or justice. The catalyst he's obviously lying about is actually a big fat bootlicker demagogue payday.

Ya know, I think a lot of people miss the point on this. There are some real biggots that hate trans and yadda yadda, but the majority of joe everyman voter is really saying "im struggling to pay my bills and all you care about is peoples genders, and people who arent even american". Is it true? No. But politics for most people is about feeling and emotion. There is no logic talk that will change that. You have to meet simple people at their level; you cant force them to reach your level and understand all the nuance. They are not capable.

Its imperitive that the left stop falling back on this rhetoric, over the economic issues that the majority of voters care about. And dont say "well this policy and that policy and.." They dont understand any of that. They need to hear that they come first.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago

This is 100% true and people here won't want to hear it.

We lost and we lost BAD. I want to be reasonable and learn WHY we lost.

Just sitting here screaming how everyone is racists and sexist, is juvenile and will cause us to learn NOTHING.

However fucked up a vote for Trump was, it's more damming that people chose HIM over our candidate.

Trump GAINED black and Hispanic voters, so just screaming racism ain't it.

Fairly or unfairly, the Democrats are burdened with the baggage that they care more about identity politics and policing language than actually fixing anything. That's what I've learned.

We've got a big echo chamber here, and most of the shit we discuss here doesn't resonate with the majority of people.

We're more concerned about people saying "unhoused" than actual homelessness and how to solve it.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 days ago

I just disagree with most of this. We should never stop talking about the social issues. A lot of really outspoken Trump etc folks are out to distort and transform our country in oppressive ways, with no regard to economics. We must fight that.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 days ago

The thing is, the left ain’t doing shit for trans people. Kamala never said she’d do shit for our rights.

Conservatives are the ones who make this about trans people. I transitioned more than ten years ago - no one gave a rats ass in 2014.

“I put a fascist in power because mcdonals tripled the price on a quarter pounder combo”
