I disagree bc as a longtime Charli fan I see it more like she made a shit post and then the desperate Democrats went way too far with it. It’s not like she’s posting like Stephen King about how great the Democrats are all the time. She made one post and then went back to doing coke with her DJ fiancee.

Making one post on Twitter is not “fellating reactionaries” and it’s extremely misogynistic to frame it this way

still doesn’t make it bad. if you’re gonna say all liberal music is bad, then you’re gonna have a hard time finding music to listen to.

i honestly think a lot of the backlash against Brat is rooted in sexism tbh (not accusing OP or you of that, i get we’re shitposting here)

sorry you’re missing out one of the best albums of the year. weird that you’d make this post tho

thanks

What exactly is 'Iran’s fuck up? ’

I have had liberals on every social media site I am on tell me if Trump wins then I, a nonbinary person, deserve to be hate crimed for not supporting Harris, so yeah… I do think that. If genocide isn’t a red line, what makes you think queer rights would be?

The parts of the community that stan democrats tend to be white so I think they’ll stay on board bc white people tend to choose whiteness over all else

The Supreme Court will hand it to Trump 6-3 and the Dems will still blame Jill Stein.

I kind of think they’ll blame Chappell Roan and use it as an excuse to be homophobic.

those libs are gonna be fine and they’ll get to play The Resistance again (which they love doing) so they’re not punished either.

it always was. That was even part of the justification the centrists used to gut the private option out of it. I’m not saying they were honest about their intentions to build upon it, but the ACA was sold to progressives during Obama’s first term as a strategic compromise. of course the fact that the democrats negotiated with themselves to water it down proves it wasn’t, but they at least campaigned for it that way.

it doesn’t line up with the amount of restraint they’ve exhibited with Israel. Trying to influence the election is just the sort of thing that will get both parties to back an Iranian-Israeli conflict even harder

yeah but the longer the war in Ukraine goes, the closer we get to nuclear war

Also this lol

i was in the gifted program and i felt like all it did was make people more pretentious.

i tried to get my friends to come here! i have a few that are always complaining about reddit and i know this site would scratch the same itch for them while not having all the reddit garbage but for whatever reason, they never checked it out.

Most people don’t know what Nitter is. Most people aren’t “the most dangerous users,” they’re lazy, so any extra steps is a deterrent. Keeping the weak deterrent is still a net positive.

The types of posts i’m talking about here aren’t things like “this is where i live” but innocuous things that transphobes or racists decide to take out of context. I would post all these things publicly but it’s good to be able to make them more private from the freaks who are gonna freak out bc I said trans kids exist and put me in a cringe compilation to encourage others to harass me. Twitter never made it impossible to do that, but Elon’s making it easier.

because i’ve been using it for years and it’s the social media platform all my friends are on. i’m a nonbinary communist, they’re all owned by people who hate me.

i think it’s more like “i technically have the money to buy (expensive thing i don’t need) and i know i probably can’t afford it in the long run but fuck it, i’m gonna be broke either way”

damn i wish my Chinese klon was hot pink. oh well i got it for free when i bought something else from someone.

The current system makes it harder because you have to create a new account. There are people who are either too dumb to realize they can do that or just won’t bother jumping through the extra hoops. Obviously it’s not perfect, but it’s better than doing this.

And being worried about stalking is extremely counter to posting something publicly.

Using Twitter on private kinda sucks. It makes the site less fun. All this is doing is making it so the creeps can have more fun on the site while marginalized people being harassed by those creeps have a worse experience on the site. not sure why y’all are defending this but whatever.
