31. FDR democrats -I like that
Tue Sep 9, 2025, 07:47 PM
Tuesday

Yeah it’s hard to imagine an FDR these days and that is what the doctor orders.

The left also need to take women’s rights seriously again.

The idiotic girlboss era has made it too easy for a stealth “throw Karen under the bus” dynamic of misogyny to quietly emerge. A worldview that falls into the old error and fails to recognize that most older, childfree women or female victims of sexual harassment at the hands of men with power over them are not villainous Karens or girlbosses, but people with real problems.

I was always opposed to a specific repellant take that I see correctly castigated as “woke capitalism” as it allows for stealthy prejudices
to get baked into a leftish worldview.

A specific and bullshit take on feminism and anti racism has such negative effects that I can’t help feeling it is an effective and malicious tactic that worked to represent the larger, quieter left as so obnoxious and unrelatable that it helped the right.
