seems about right nytimes.com/interactive/20…

not sure why they would call this a "progressive" party though, seems more like a classic SDP set of positions

at any rate the coalition of Canada-style Liberals, Blue Dog ""Labor,"" and socdems pulling in 52 percent is depressingly plausible

my big question is whether the conservative parties would be able to play nicely together. eg, easy to imagine the center-right party giving support to Liberals in disgust at far right antics

the horse paste is old hat (probably thanks to media attention) so the crackpots need a new quack remedy

just watching this happen in real time theweek.com/politics/10046…

looking forward to another news cycle of anti-anti-Betadine discourse so the contrarians can get their weekly subscription bump

Facebook "has built a system that has exempted high-profile users from some or all of its rules, according to company documents reviewed by The Wall Street Journal." wsj.com/articles/faceb…

Mark Zuckerberg personally intervened to allow a Trump post calling for violence to remain up wsj.com/articles/faceb…

every day more convinced that the Xi Solution to social media is the right one. just get rid of it, all of it

this argument has a pretty gigantic hole in it

forcing someone to get vaccinated could quite literally *save their life or that of their friends and family.* it is just dishonest to class this with redlining or whatever

dishonest and also clumsily mistaken on the facts! that's the Evopsych Promise

look at this hack fraud lol

oh for sure man. "Whether vaccine mandates are ok depends on if illness is easily transmitted" is a principle that hinges entirely on what level of government is implementing the mandate

conservatives gotta work themselves into a frenzy to get some more judicial rule-by-decree so they can stop Biden from saving their own voters' lives

substack contrarians pretending that pandemic controls are somehow a violation of civil rights is a new low even for them

even the most dog-brained glibertarians generally admit that the state can coerce people to prevent them from harming others. but that's too much from our freshly-minted McMegans

weeks ago these guys were pretending that an anti-vaccine crank was a legit expert being censored by a devious Big Tech/Big Pharma conspiracy theweek.com/politics/10046…

listen up blue checks: the guy who boosted ivermectin as a potential miracle cure based on the word of an antivaxxer fraud has a condescending lecture about media ethics

well now, let's be careful about our facts and #media #ethics. it was actually a pie filled with horse semen
