  • I’m just going to rec some good creators that filled the void.

    Matt Orchard probably has the highest quality content. Strong recommendation for him.

    Dreading. Seems Intentionally dry but covers the most details of a case. Sometimes posting 4 hours of courtroom footage.

    Explore with Us. Probably the most tabloid style presentation and worst editorial takes. They have the longest chunks of police interrogation though. They have alt channels for body cam stuff too which is pretty dope.











  • Villifing the “other” is throwing red meat to the base. It’s an easy sell to the ignorant. And also the very first target of the Nazis. Trans people are the lowest hanging fruit for the mental midgets that make up the maga base.

    Democrats need to learn something though, because when trump is, finally, irrelevant there will be a vacuum. I don’t think it’s hard to make an appeal if you look at Bernie sanders crossover appeal and the mistakes of the Clinton’s.

    Clinton’s are called “third way democrats” designed to win back some “Reagan democrats”. Economic policies that are very similar to conservatives while relying on social justice issues for their legitimacy among the base fron the left. That left literally zero benefit and minimal consideration for working class and rural whites. It’s also why I love the pick of Walz, he speaks to this voting bloc very effectively and the way Kamala is handling the campaign, specifically shutting down the “lock him up” chants makes me think that dems are on this wavelength also.

    The case that needs to be made is something I’ve best heard described by MLK (I’ve also heard Bernie echo the same term) as “Economic Justice”. Which is basically Marxist class theories and the money aspect of “all of God’s children, being free at last.” regardless of race. Being able to judo the “out of touch liberal elites” developed under the concept of Clinton democrats into “out of touch billionaire weirdos” of Trump, Vance and Musk is something the DNC should really focus on. Easier said than done though, those weirdos have infinite firehoses of infinite bullshit.


  • An important historical context for this I would like to add as well. There’s a chance I may be wrong about the specifics but this is my best understanding of it.

    When this concept was developed during the constitutional convention. They wanted to protect “states rights”, which has always been a soft language for slavery. The Electoral College is in the same section of the constitution as the 3/5ths compromise, which said that slaves count as 3/5th of a person when being counted as population to have representatives/Electoral college votes.

    So modern Republicans are benefiting and have more power than the general population actually voted for, based on a structure used to protect the institution of slavery. This is a key example of “institutional racism(*edit)” and helps me understand the obsession with things like critical race theory. Because understanding the structure, delegitmizes the power Republicans hold. The most obvious example to me right now is the Supreme Court. A mixture between the consequences of institutional racism and modern GOP political rat fuckery is doing so much harm to America.





  • You missed the entire point of what I said. The “lowest” the left went is an obvious joke, which is the oranges. MTG calling dems pedophiles is the fucking pine cones. They are NOT similar, at all. It is not something that can br used to measure a god damned thing. Don’t be obtuse because you have a bad take on an issue, it’s a bad look.

    And anyone who thinks someone would write about fucking couches in a grift book to Bible thumper is a fucking idiot. That is not believable.
