this triple whammy of Dems coming out with big tax cut proposals is dangerously close to negatively polarizing me against "tax the rich" rhetoric

EVERYBODY NEEDS TO PAY THEIR TAXES

my view is that you can be allowed to have an open marriage, just not to write a magazine article about it.

Do you think Trumpism will survive five minutes past Trump himself? Do you think the Republican Party won't instantly implode as its brain trust of piss pants 28 year old Internet Nazis starts knifing one another? The GOP is stripping America for parts because it knows it's cooked.

So, so instructive to compare media response to Afghanistan withdrawal -- months of hysterical garment-rending & catastrophizing, relentless criticism of the admin -- with the response to an unprovoked, unmotivated, illegal war of aggression, ie, "some critics say maybe Trump should have reasons."

2. You can continue to condemn the oppression and repression of the Iranian people by their own government, which deserves nothing but your scorn.

Two things can be true at the same time:

1. You can be opposed to illegal, reckless and feckless wars launched by an American government that is utterly indifferent to the long term consequences of their actions.

Unfortunately for most "leftists", moral judgment is downstream of clout. Also they're generally dumb as bricks.

Weapon supplies to Israel was not the most morally significant issue of 2024, keeping Trump out of office was. That doesn't mean Biden's policies were good. Anyone with half a brain can separate these two things.

The private market approach in NYC has been to build luxury housing that no one can afford. In my district, it often sits vacant or houses diplomats a few times a year.
If we're serious about providing affordable housing, we must decommodify it and build social housing instead.

As housing construction booms in red states, blue states are falling behind. That will likely boost Republicans in federal politics.

the year is 2026 and we have a YIMBY socialist mayor, we have evolved past the need for this type of factually incorrect left-NIMBY slop from our local politicians

Daniel Lefferts: “Terms and Conditions” A short story by Daniel Lefferts: “Last summer my friend Andrew and I spent a few days in Fort Lauderdale.”

This is so withering precisely because the plot turns on credit card points - the company store script of the coupon-clipping PMC Precariat.
