    There was something very glitch in the matrix about this one, it seemed less confusion and more malfunction, I half expected sparks to shoot out of her neck.

      EXACTLY! It's like a predictive text algorithm that hit a wall and just tried to reset the conversation.

      This Steve Cox guy seems like a cool dude. I swear he got that "gonna get us all killed" from me or some other extremely online comrade replying to one of his tweets about Newsom. I keep noticing him picking up on our shitposting language despite looking like a middle manager in an office supply company.

        i won't say he's a comrade, his politics are somewhat unusual. it's like soc-dem but libertarian-socdem. it really comes off like a ron paul kind of framework but progressive.

        he actually a pretty exhaustive campaign website with detailed policy positions. if you look over it you will see what i am saying. it's not socialist fare at all, maybe more like old-school bull moose progressivism.

    Also, is Shoeonhead a chud or what? Internet disagrees on her and I don't want to watch a bunch of vids to find out.

      I think she was and she's genuinely moving left because she is realizing she's going to live long enough to see her youtube grift collapse alongside civilization as we know it and doesn't want the ravenous hordes to come for her too.

      She is/was, but was a strong bernie supporter this year. Seems to me like she's the type of person you get when you actually offer things to people, rather than just talking about how we need a woman in charge or whatever.

        The fact that Shoe0nhead was able to seamlessly transition from being an alt-right, anti-SJW grifter to a social democrat grifter really made me understand why communists call socdems "social fascists."

        (I mean, shoe0nhead is the most atrocious example, but I guess there's also that time they killed Rosa and betrayed the communists to the Nazis, or that time they set up bourgeois capitalist states in Scandinavia. But probably mostly shoe0nhead.)

      she used to be kinda alt-right adjacent, but she seems to have genuinely moved more to like the stupidpol left. i thought it was just a grift but she's been at it for like a year now. i know because i started seeing her tweets where people i follow would interact with them.

    This is actually chilling, watching her eyes as she just completely leaves the building and then snaps back.

    Yeah man if anything she's worse, I don't get how people continue to ignore this shit. It's been like this the whole election cycle

    Honestly you people read too much into things.

    This could just be kind of general evasiveness + contempt for the person she's talking to. He asks something, she doesn't want to talk about it, she engages in admittedly not the most skillful deflection by offering a pleasantry and continues on talking about what she wants to talk about while ignoring what he wants to talk about. That's just being a politician 101. If she were to say "yeah fuck the Republicans, it's on now" she'd go places she doesn't want to go nor does the party and if she said "uh no we're not going to do anything and just hope they place nice" then Democratic voters would be seething about her, but by not addressing it you don't get any kind of "Dem's are deranged and hate the constitution, more next on Fox News"/"Democrats need to grow a spine, why Nancy Pelosi was wrong to take options off the table by Vox" type clips and reply content plus media cycle, it's avoiding controversy. I've seen similar deflections from older generations that use the same kind of tact, of offering a pleasantry (time of day often) to let the other party know they can hear them but they want to go down a different track, it's like mentally starting a new conversation, it's a kind of power move, kind of an implied "excuse you".

    Also TBH I wouldn't give ABC's head anchor any respect or heed either. All the bourgeois press is obviously propaganda but he's probably the most whimpering, pathetic, weak of all the head anchors and I think that's not hard to smell and act accordingly around. As I said. She didn't want to talk about it because it's a no-win situation, better to just let the press rally their voters with editorials and stay relatively non-committal.

    Biden's brain is genuinely turning into goo but that only matters in-so-far-as its funny and there's ample evidence going back years which makes people desperately trying to get others to vote for him very angry and emotional. Pelosi's brain turning to mush wouldn't much matter, she's just a generic, replaceable figurehead and pawn for the capitalist party's backstop-against-leftward-movement-wing.

    Also fucking shoe? Fuck that grifter. She was a grifter when she was part of the whole youtube atheist/skeptic crowd going alt-right and as far as I'm concerned she still is because that market dried up with the collective realization that pretty much all that had been said about debunking religion had been said a hundred times, they moved on to try the "irrational SJWs!!" thing and that dried up because mainstream reactionary powerhouses moved in on that and so they moved on to the next thing that seemed popular with the youth which was Bernie Sanders-ism. Way too many opportunists.
