On the one hand, this is completely delusional cope.
On the other hand, this is extremely funny.


I feel like Not Just Bikes would be a commie if he wasn’t such a settler lib. He has all the critiques.
Even though he’s a lib, I think these kinds of urbanism youtubers are a useful pipeline towards leftist thinking. If nothing else, they help break up some of the ossified thinking about what is possible, and promote such radical ideas as “communities are good” and “we can take some collective action to improve our daily life”


This shit’s seriously dark


Our fallen world is not righteous enough for such a blessed outcome.


NYPD cop turned media talking head. His podcast is #9 on Spotify.


I think a good point was made on Hasan’s stream during election night: what was the point of picking Walz, if you were then going to force him to do right wing messaging that he wouldn’t deliver convincingly? For a second there, it almost seemed like the campaign was about to pivot into a more progressive messaging campaign… but then they just ran as if they had Shapiro as VP.


Paul Krugman will bravely continue to do exactly what he’s been doing the whole time and being payed handsomely for.
I think what’s really striking is how close the “blue wall” states are, we’re talking under 400k votes in the states that are winning Trump the EC. Harris could have performed way worse than Biden 2020, and still won a comfortable margin. But instead of performing way worse, she performed catastrophically worse.


Harambe in 2016, peanut in 2024


If Trump wins, they’ll be blamed
If Harris wins, liberals will smugly gloat about how they never needed Arab American votes


As unbelievable as it might sound, in the USA justice system, if a lawyer knows their client is guilty as hell, they are not supposed to just pretend otherwise and make up crazy legal theories in court to try to get them off the hook. Lawyers who make such grossly bad-faith arguments like this in front of a judge are supposed to get disbarred.


It only takes one faithless elector to completely overturn the result of a 270-268 election!


It would be incredibly funny if the right-wing immigration into Texas and Florida shifted the electoral college towards Democrat’s favor.
Other funny possibilities: Harris wins two turns, Thomas, Alito and Roberts retire or die from the supreme court, and the Democrats secure a durable supermajority on the court. Republicans proceed to have a meltdown about how we need to reform all these shitty, undemocratic systems. Democrats already worship institutions, so it’s easy to imagine Lin Manuel Miranda writing bars about the wisdom of the founding fathers.


Harris gets to 270, but then Nebraska changes the rules to after the election to change the electoral college allotment to winner takes all, throwing the election to a Republican controlled House of Representatives. Even more chaotic if the Supreme Court intervenes to allow it.


This is why there’s so much exuberance on the stock market 
Porky sleeps soundly knowing that any potential leadership of the US is completely captured by the interests of capital.


this shit’s gonna give Matt another stroke


It’s not Nazi heraldry unless it comes from the National Socialist region of Bavaria!


Especially when talking about air pollution, the literal textbook case of negative externalities. Just throwing bad sounding terms at things you don’t like.
