    The thing that gets me worked up most about this shit is not how confidently incorrect all of these assholes are but how smug and insufferable they are about it. They have all have the knowledge of literal high schoolers about pretty much everything and think that they have the basis to tell anyone “these people have never heard of political literacy.”

    Good luck, I guess.

      I like parts of Bluesky. But I’ve been wondering how many liberals view voting for Biden as some kind of litmus test. And they actually unironically believe in horseshoe theory even if they are 100% unaware of the term.

      how smug and insufferable they are about it.

      I’m going to have to avoid a lot of political threads because there’s no point in talking to them because far more often than I expected - that’s their exact attitude. They are having a lovely brunch at a lovely eatery as they talk about how vital it is to vote for Biden to save democracy. This is the most important election of our lifetime and - oh my goodness - who is this?

      Hey, everybody! I’m a dirty dirtbag leftist who posts comments that prove I don’t understand how politics works! Trump would be worse? But how about right now? You can’t really expect me to be pro-genocide. Can you? Can you really??? Hey! Where’s everybody going?
