I follow a lot of people on the left, my feed is full of them. I've honestly not heard anyone mention Sydney Sweeney since the jeans ad came out like a year ago. We're all focused on ICE murdering people and Trump/Epstein over here.
It’s a great example of how the left is terrible at political messaging and stupidly destroys our credibility while we desperately need it to defeat fascism.
I know the left doesn’t want to hear it but it’s the truth.
Well I agree, they won't win without some sort of better means of driving the narrative like the right has with Fox News, Joe Rogan, and X. But what reforms do you think are needed?
But without the aforementioned narrative control nobody heard about it except for leftists who were then disillusioned by it.
A focus on better education policy would be great too, but I'm pessimistic that anyone will pay attention to that in the current attention economy. Again, unless Democrats can figure out how to exercise some sort of control over it.
Why do we care what famous people think about politics anyway? Do those people have any better insight than the rest of us? I have never found that to be the case. People need to grow up.
100% folks on the left need to be more strategic in their criticism. Shut up sometimes. I’m squarely on the left and found myself repulsed by the Sydney Sweeney protest stuff. She does have good genes and it has nothing to do with eugenics. So relax.
But also, I heard an interesting perspective that isn’t wrong. The play of jeans and genes was totally a troll move to illicit exactly this response. These advertising people and Sweeney herself, they are not morons - they did this on purpose eyes wide open. Its troll marketing, exploiting the tribal divides tearing apart our nation.
What a dumb take on this non-issue! Why don't you ask Gary Kasparov how pop star "neutrality" worked in Russia when Putin took over? You may learn a thing or two. This "neutrality" while promoting sexism and white nationalism via images screams louder than anything she would say in an interview. Get a clue.
You’re missing the point! These left reactions are harmful to our cause and make normal people in the middle hate us. Meanwhile, we need to win these same people over to defeat this fascist threat.
What “normal people in the middle” think Sidney Sweeney is not parading white supremacy and sexism while feigning “neutrality”? How is the left pointing this out “harmful to our cause”? Which cause is that?
One basic value that Cheeto holds as number one importance is not to be a loser This underscores the Big Lie and all of the political machinations to try to reverse history as if it’s a time machine to go after anything that would state the obvious: he lost the 2020 election
Cheeto was so obsessed with the 2020 election loss that he even rigged the 2024(bit.ly/41UelTx) with the help of vigilante challenges with the help of his Nazi allies who love Der Fuhrer’s bravado But like almost everything Cheeto says, the use of the term “rigged” is nothing but a projection of what he himself has and wants to do in the future: Rig elections and his Nazi allies are complicit
Now Cheeto has tried to politically engineer mid decade gerrymandering but that seems to have become a bust The Nazis have been trying to get voter information so they can nationalize the vigilante challenge theme Then he sent Gabbard to Georgia to confiscate 2020 ballots The Cheeto suggested that he’ll get control of voting equipment but his latest gambit is to have 15 GOP states(https://bit.ly/3NRxC4V) take over elections so that it will guarantee that the Nazi Republicans will never lose future elections Why bother running on policy when you can just assure yourself that the Nazis will not have to worry about election losses? All because Cheeto has held a longstanding belief from his days with his mentor Roy Cohn that he should NEVER BE A LOSER Unfortunately for Cheeto he is and always will be a loser and the polls show it
She's a middling talented actress. I don't give two hoots in hell what her political opinions are. And you shouldn't either. Anyone who looks to entertainers for political guidance (or any other kind) needs to do his own research and THINK.
Left leaning bullying won't influence Sydney Sweeney, she thinks for herself and that is aggravating to the folk on the left who need constant ratification through group think and supportive wealthy famous folk. If anything, they will push her Right into the arms of MAGA.
In the time of actual Nazi adherents working in the federal government you cannot simply dismiss an ad like the one they did. The author of this article so easily dismissed the wink and nod as ridiculous which made me do the same to them. There is a wide movement of authoritarianism in this country and you hate the party still fighting for our rights because they pointed out that nazis do nazi shit.

give a thought for reforming the Democratic Party. ICE and "Trump / Epstein" are not going to win 2028.
But what’s the point of this article? Nobody is talking about her.
It’s a great example of how the left is terrible at political messaging and stupidly destroys our credibility while we desperately need it to defeat fascism.
I know the left doesn’t want to hear it but it’s the truth.
But “the left” isn’t doing it. I follow many leftist Substacks and I’ve never seen it mentioned.
Well I agree, they won't win without some sort of better means of driving the narrative like the right has with Fox News, Joe Rogan, and X. But what reforms do you think are needed?
top few would be
- articulate a border control policy that isn't fullstop open borders.
- urban education reform plan. a PLAN not just a porkbarrel approach.
have to take on the entrenched far left crews that doom the party nationally.
Well they did try a hawkish border policy in 2024: https://truthout.org/articles/kamala-harris-has-gone-from-immigration-reformer-to-border-hawk-whats-next/

the insistence on uniformity is a hallmark of cults.
everyone must buy-in 100%
and everyone must loudly express the same views
the louder the better
otherwise you will be suspected of not being a true revolutionary
.
it's very threating to the powers on the Left, if some of their members exhibit open mindedness or contradictory views on any category of Leftism.
Nobody, exactly nobody I know on the left is talking about Sydney Sweeney.
Why do we care what famous people think about politics anyway? Do those people have any better insight than the rest of us? I have never found that to be the case. People need to grow up.

And that *is* gross and worthy of condemnation.

Cheeto’s Obsession With Rigging Elections

Sidney Sweeney? Honestly?
She's a middling talented actress. I don't give two hoots in hell what her political opinions are. And you shouldn't either. Anyone who looks to entertainers for political guidance (or any other kind) needs to do his own research and THINK.
https://open.substack.com/pub/pkertes/p/the-sydney-sweeney-ad-furore?r=3f3zz9&utm_medium=ios&shareImageVariant=overlay
typical extreme leftist/rightist intolerant behaviour; agitating people for nothing really
As many have pointed out, NOBODY is talking about her. Please, move on.
Left leaning bullying won't influence Sydney Sweeney, she thinks for herself and that is aggravating to the folk on the left who need constant ratification through group think and supportive wealthy famous folk. If anything, they will push her Right into the arms of MAGA.
The left is unhinged
It was a funny commercial about a beautiful woman wearing jeans but the left has to turn it into yet another fabricated crisis. I hate the left.
In the time of actual Nazi adherents working in the federal government you cannot simply dismiss an ad like the one they did. The author of this article so easily dismissed the wink and nod as ridiculous which made me do the same to them. There is a wide movement of authoritarianism in this country and you hate the party still fighting for our rights because they pointed out that nazis do nazi shit.
I can and see why we need We Need a Sydney Sweeney Ceasefire
