Well, it's a filmed discussion and not an article so yeah, I believe that you haven't read it

Everyone's talking about the Hasan angle here, but the most insane part of this is when Jia says that the murder of Brian Thompson was "an effective act of political consciousness raising", and that she's disappointed the Democrats didn't use it to push for universal healthcare.
Why say the first thing at all if you didn't mean it!
"it's the only grocery store near my work"
That's not what a "monopoly" is lol
Come on, why are we acting like there's only one company in America that sells food, which justifies both shopping and stealing from them.
So?
Racists will tell racist jokes and then laugh, you can still figure out what they actually believe and no amount of "it's just jokes!" defenses changes that.
If you hate Amazon that much then you can just not shop at Whole Foods and not stream on Twitch
What "goals"?
Hasan cited the Boston Tea Party but like... they didn't just steal a bunch of tea and then drink it. They dumped it into the harbor as a protest against the Tea Act!
When the patriots broke a lock belonging to the captain, they personally reimbursed him.
That anecdote made me roll my eyes.
"Yeah, I shoplift. But like, only against Amazon. And actually I was there on behalf of someone else, for mutual aid. And also I paid for my whole bill, I only stole fresh produce"
Just covering your ass and framing it to be the most progressive form of stealing
Liz Cheney took a stand against fascism that cost her career, I have way more respect for her than I do for Piker and Rogan who stood by and cheered as fascism took over.
When oligarchs are in charge, officers just use their office to enrich themselves. So then enlisted men below them see that and look to profit for themselves. So they might siphon gas from trucks or scrap tank parts to make a few bucks, which leads to million-dollar vehicles getting blown up.
I saw a video about the Russian military a few years ago that made this argument.
Everyone expected Russians to just steamroll Ukraine in a couple weeks, but the corrupt nature of Russia bleeds all the way through down the ranks.
No, the point is that poor conservatives view themselves as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.
If you offer them free healthcare and college, they'll say "what am I, a minority?"
Any controversy involving game reviewers is culture war adjacent since gamergate
The implicit media consensus is that urban voters should not be able to overrule rural voters, but that rural voters should be able to overrule urban voters, an assumption so axiomatic and unquestionable that nobody even understands they're making it.
I have literally heard people claim before "I miss the 90s, before they made everything about race".
And it's like, ...???
"He's on Democracy's side"
He literally does not believe in liberalism and said he mostly closely aligns with the Chinese government politically, but ok
How do you fuck up making friends as a 5 year old at the park lol
Just wander near some kids your age and point out that their shirt is your favorite color or something. Throw a foot ball, who cares
No, there really isn't an affordability crisis rn.
Americans have fond memories of the economy of 2019. Kamala adopting a last-minute platform of "oh shit, we accidentally made things worse!" was not going to win her the election.
If the entire party is like Joe Manchin then that refutes your own argument lol
You were trying to claim that your leftist candidates win more often, remember?
I started it and saw something that recommend I take notes, then I was like "OK let me get a notebook" and then I never played it again.
I want to get really into it! I just need to sit down and dive in sometime.
Oh OK, so democrats are the efficiently violent fascists, and republicans are the inefficiently violent fascists.
Kinda sounds like an improvement lol
The Palestine protests were huge in 2024, now they can be even BIGGER since the fascists are less capable of suppressing them!
Fascism is inherently violent, you can't just say "Republicans are the violent fascists and democrats are the smiley non-violent fascists"
And in case you forgot, the primary criticism of Biden's immigration policy in 2024 was that he letting in too many refugees!
Nobody was talking about ICE in 2024
No, they weren't critical of Biden's POLICIES lol
They were mad that doordash got more expensive. Shit-talking the IRA or whatever wasn't going to convince the American public that Kamala would get this country on the right track. They chose the business man from the television, he was on Rogan
So when you say Trump is worse you're literally just referring to his skill level? Lmao
Well, I guess you got the result you wanted in 2024! Congrats, the less competent fascists are in charge. Weird how leftists say that they're afraid to do Palestinian protests because it's more dangerous now
Voters were freaking out about inflation, with a bit of immigration hysteria on the side.
Well, that about sums it up lol
You're here to lecture others on how to win elections. You can't point to your own electoral successes as a leftist, so instead you go after dems for losing races because you don't really care if they win in the first place.
It can change over time, as all party platforms should, but nothing about Biden's admin was so bad that it needed the next candidate to completely denounce it. You can't even name what she should've denounced to win the election!
I didn't say the democratic platform was "wildly popular" in 2024, I said that it's a good platform that has been used successfully by multiple democratic administrations in my lifetime.
