  • Bleeding heart just means that they’re too caring. As in, the type to give handouts and hug trees. But I haven’t heard that in forever. I think it’s been switched out for socialists.

    Not sure if I agree on the other two. They are definitely coopted for political gain. But I don’t know that it changes the base term. When they say “woke mob”, I don’t hear an implication that it’s disingenuous.

    Virtue signaling definitely applies though.

    I do find it ironic that liberals (people who just want to live their lives and not impede on others, not the politicians) give the least amount of fucks. They don’t give a fuck if gays marry, but they also don’t give a fuck if they’re not allowed to (assuming it doesn’t impact them).






  • In certain areas, it could be. For a solid blue or red state/area, the primary is going to be more important to winning. Giving people a reason to turn out will be disproportionately important in the primary due to the lower voter turnout.

    Having said all that, she’s completely aware that people get weird about trans issues and the nation gets easily scared and defensive. She has made it a point (and has stated before) she is not a trans representative, she is a representative who is trans. She has also made it a point to not give anti-trans people fodder (eg. forcing her to use the wrong bathroom) to further target trans people.

    Edit: For the record, I think this is a bad move. Charlie Kirk incited violence against many groups, especially trans people. His words certainly led to trans deaths. But I think this is a strategic move.












  • I wondered this too. But Rogan is just first in followers. MeidasTouch was first in views. Also, this was only for YouTube, which according to the article is the top podcast service now, which is hard to believe considering WHY podcasts have taken over.

    The data showed MeidasTouch amassed 124 million views in that period, with Rogan scooping the second spot with 39.2 million views.

    I think it helps that MeidasTouch has much MUCH shorter episodes. Like, any of Rogan’s 3 hour videos counts as 1 view. Hours watched would probably be different.

    On Spotify, the story is way different too. I guess that makes sense to my other point of why podcasts are popular. It’s a lot easier to just listen to an imbecile ramble in the background for 3 hours than to watch it.

    On Spotify, however, Rogan remains king, taking the number one spot, while MeidasTouch secured the 73rd spot on the audio streaming company’s U.S. podcast charts.
