Modern Moloch

Nothing like a proposal for a modest amount of lower-income housing nearby to find out who your neighbors are.

Not very long ago at all, conventional wisdom on here was that pushing for ACA subsidies to be extended was stupid on Democrats’ part because it was just saving Republicans from themselves.

I find this site’s opinions on which stove-touching is strategically beneficial and morally good very, very confusing

I think the general public’s perception of the two major political parties are very sticky. That’s why “Republicans are good at the economy” is a widely held view despite 20 years of evidence to the contrary.

Similarly, “Democrats want cheaper healthcare and Republicans don’t” is a widely held view

I don’t think this is true.

Help! My cinephile friend is trying to gaslight me into believing that the ending of Planet of the Apes isn’t one of the most famous film endings of all time.

I’ve been hoping against hope the Evers finds a way to cancel this on his way out the door

there are a lot of people mad about this who do not appear to understand that the strategy *from the very beginning* has been to make ACA subsidy extension a lynchpin of negotiations, and if you think these are pretty meager demands, well, you are correct, that is the point

It is not the responsibility of a political party to ease our country’s partisan rancor. Nor is it even possible for a political party to do so. It’s an impossible ask.

There is no such thing as a “constitutional loophole.”

Stop it. That doesn’t exist.

Andrew Cuomo is campaigning like some one who will be forced to seek reputational within the Republican Party beginning Nov 5

The VP openly espousing white supremacist viewpoints ought to be bigger news, but legacy media is, I believe, sincerely afraid to cover it.

It keeps getting worse

I would rather live next door to someone who speaks another language than live next door to someone who doesn’t want to live near people who speak other languages. I know nothing about Person A but I know person B is a shitbird.

starving over 40 million people right before major holidays + massively upping healthcare costs does strike me as a rather bold move this early in the authoritarian consolidation game for any given fascist regime, but I guess we’ll see what happens
