Or actually delivering government services.

So you’re saying there’s a chance!

They don’t mind hierarchies based on wealth either since they think they might still rise to the top and want to be able to treat poorer people badly.

this dumb shit is what i mean when i say this is a purely aesthetic “politics.” yeah man, why can’t we have a fusion of cosmopolitan social democracy and revanchist hierarchies of wealth and privilege? tough question.

“Zohran Mamdani wants people to prosper, even those who didn’t vote for him. Donald Trump wants to execute everyone who disagrees with him. Could this represent a new coalition in American politics?”

ME, AFTER SUFFERING A MASSIVE CONCUSSION

It can be. Republicans generally don’t do much with it when they hold the chair, but Republicans aren’t really into democracy, and House is the most democratic part of our government.

I thought I was the only one who thought that that was the most appropriate track for her specific talents. She could make the people’s chamber far more powerful than it is.

Somewhere, Ramona Singer is sighing into her rosé.

Even those who didn't rely on them will feel the pain as insurance premiums are going to jump for almost everyone.

The only question is whether Americans will learn from this or not. Whiteness is not a force field that protects you from harm, and white folks ain't equipped to handle what's coming.

A lot of people who claim to be mad today had a golden opportunity to avoid this fate after year ago. It's never been a matter of if all of this would happen. The only question was how quickly would it happen.

I hurt for those who relied on ACA subsidies for coverage.

I need those ACA subsidies.

My neighbors need food.

I’m not going to fault the only party that wants us to have both for only being able to secure the food.

Be mad at Republicans.
Be mad at your maga family.

Use the rest of your energy to give Democrats a majority.

Or even the best way forward on policy. These pundits don’t just hold opinions; they think their opinions are FACTS.

Or, rather, “Runaway.” 🤷🏻‍♂️

So much lying. First, there *is* a legal mechanism for tapping contingency funds.

Second, most important, Johnson cites times when Trump ILLEGALLY moved money around, especially to pay military. Trump won't break the law for hungry people, though.

Why?

You typo made me smi-i-ile

I'm so sick of discourse from supposed allies about where trans people went wrong.

Where we "went wrong" is that billionaires spent unimaginably large sums to attack us repeatedly and major media outlets have spent a decade piling on.

I'm begging for Trotskyists to add an ounce of Critical Race Theory to their politics.

See also the class warriors who think “identity politics” are a distraction.

What, then? A J6-style insurrection?

I don’t know anyone who feels safe right now.

I bet it’s already there in the Black church, not that non-Black progressives give it much thought.

And look, everything is very scary and awful it's hard not to lash out at the people you feel safe lashing out at instead of the people causing you harm.

The thing that people want from Democrats is for them to have won in November or failing that say something that will make them feel better about the current situation and everything sucks so it's not going to happen.

People really want empty threats, the more fiery the better. I truly don’t understand it.

So do many of the leftists commenting on this thread.

Just thinking today of all the colleagues who called us alarmists and cranks when we pointed out that Trump was talking and acting like a fascist in 2016

Or go to therapy.
