2026 US Midterms Megathread 🇺🇸 Dem Primaries: AZ (7/21), GA & SD (7/28)
I'm seeing a lot of push back an whataboutism about other candidates and not everyone knows every single thing about a person's past but you all are still missing my point, and it's worrying that people I thought were intelligent and I still do are coming at me like this. All I'm saying is that political leftists that know better ( not random people in maine) the random person doesn't know as much about politics as you or I (and I'm still a bit of a novice myself despite trying to learn more. Vaush should know better, Secular talk should know better, Majority Report should know ******* better. Even without the Nazi tattoo, this man had too much baggage, I knew it was never going to work. And yes, not always do black voices vote better when it comes to candidates (though that Cuomo push was mostly by old black Democrats, not young ones if I'm remembering correctly.) but if people are signaling alarm bells and all the white political activists are willing to down them out, how does that make black and brown voices in the political left space feel? Especially when we end up being right the whole time. And that's all I have to say about that.

That doesn't have anything to do with what I typed so what are you telling me for?

I think you might be misunderstanding me a little. I am aware that Maine is a primarily white state and that his image as the working white man with a bit of grit works there but he's not the only white man in the state that can project that without all the baggage that follows him. Secondly, it's one thing to overlook rude comments that were made years ago on reddit and a somewhat checkered past but once people knew that it was a Nazi tattoo, regardless if they didn't know before, that should have given them pause and made people take a step back. He had it for damn near 20 years uncovered. Lastly, the way people were practically gushing over him and leaving a puddle in their chair when they talked about him is bothersome. Him getting support is worthy of side eyeing but the fawning is my problem. Even when that republican woman came out against him and everyone immediately took his side an accused her of being an psyop, people defended him. Has she come out with a rape accusation, no one would have believed her. So please spare me the bullshit about the white leftists just wanting to rally about this man "And just wanting something better" because he had broken but redeemable image. A lot of people need to follow in AOC's footsteps and get better discernment.

This whole Platner situation has made me really realize that people just see what they want to. All the leftist YouTubers I watch, Majority Report, Secular talk, Vaush etc were all in on this guy, when they should have been side eyeing him the moment we heard about that damn Nazi tattoo. But they wanted to believe a black water mercenary that was gung-ho about doing tours in the Middle East and made all those weird reddit comments was electable. They love the rough and tumble country guy image he was projecting so much that willingly blinded themselves to black voices that told them that this wasn't the guy. It's all so sickening and I don't even want to watch them anymore.

Are the Rescene fans and KiiKii fans really fighting like that on the Korean Internetz? Because pann is making countless articles about it every other day and I really can't believe that fans are fighting over who is less of a flop at this stage in their careers.

I just hope Koreans share this same sentiment and that it's doing well on the charts. I need them to succeed desperately. Sooin deserves more than to be a nugu

Why is BND of all groups releasing something like this? Quirky but upbeat and ultimately listenable and harmless works for them. Zico/HYBE/Executives are making weird creative choices considering that had a hit record with (If I Say I Love You) just last year.

Did anyone ever figure out if the guy from NCT Wish was actually a descendant of a Japanese general yet or no? If so, how wild. What would possess him to even become a trainee for a Korean company?

I can only sigh at this point in time. I am so sick of Korean people and their inability to not be racist while also profiting off of my people's work. It gets to a point.

Sounds like the plot of a really good revenge kdrama.

I kinda want this to flop. This is... Not good. Also it sounds sort of like a mortal Kombat rip off but without any of the fun that makes that track work.

Someone gets to look up at this man every night and I am so jealous of them. Can't believe I used to find this man ugly. This sounds so amateurish, like if you told me a high school group was rehearsing for the big talent show, I would you. Yet this is technically a professional music group. The musical effects like pitch correction is doing a lot of heavy lifting. I know JYP thanks his lucky stars for Twice and Stray Kids every single night, they almost went the way of DSP media but then they had 12 dollars, none pretty girls and a dream. I can't believe HYBE recreated Exo but made it (Mostly) Japanese and it's working.

I'm so glad that "The Chase" wasn't a success. That was a random nothing of a song and they've (SM) found the girls' sound so quickly. I keep Style, Focus and Rude on repeat, they help get through so many cleaning sessions.

It does recreate the Enhypen vibe but the music is better, or at least more consistent. You've never heard that saying? Am I just getting old now??? I love scissor sisters 💜
