Came here to say this, but you have already made the point well

Screwed up my thread, sorry, this should have been a reply to my other two recent posts

The country is better off for Obamacare though than if he'd pushed for a maximal package and gotten nothing (and likely paid a bigger political price)

Or think Obama fighting for Obamacare. He didn't get everything he wants. Things could and should get better, but it was meaningful change for millions, and he still paid a political price for it because they change didn't come in 2 years.

I like this, but it's an example of something I don't think would actually get done. Fighting hard for it and not getting it isn't a lot of use. Tax credits have sped up the adoption of electric cars immensely

It's not a perfect plan, I can imagine scenarios where something else might make sense but it will work well most of the time.

I think this is right. Vote the candidate you want in primaries, then in the general vote the party who your candidate was from, even if your preferred candidate didn't win. It's likely if that party wins, they will do a better job (or fuck things up less) by your own standards, than the opposition

So then the risk is that people promise all kinds of things, and they really mean it, and when it doesn't happen you get trump anyway.

I get this argument, but I'm not sure that anyone could have brought major changes at a rate that felt fast enough for many people. Certainly not major changes in a positive direction.

I've often thought we should vote for the party with a real chance to win, who will fuck things up the least

If marketing operations are any use if like to help (getting the message out to the right people at the right time) I'm out of town until Wednesday but could attend future meetings

I wonder if he's concerned about any groups being underrepresented, other than white people

This place is a scam. It's just a restaurant, not a factory at all. Don't be fooled

A 20-Year-Old Meth-Smoking Influencer Is the Future of Right-Wing Masculinity Sam Stein, Tim Miller, and Will Sommer break down the bizarre, disturbing, and increasingly influential world of “looksmaxxing” and the internet personality at its center, Clavicular.

Aw shit, Sam Stein is going to make poor @jaredpoland.bsky.social try all this stuff out for a piece isn't he. Good luck Jared. www.thebulwark.com/p/a-20-year-...

Lol

Bat signal to @jvl.bsky.social

Boehner and Loebsack should team up for sure

Loudermilk sours on politics?

Surely it's cold and not great by the time they get it.

Interesting. I am surprised. Thanks for the info.

NickleNickel and Dimed - On (Not) Getting By in America is an excellent book on some unexpected (to me when I read it) issues some face share.google/lrTlLNdITuYe...

But your point is correct

I get that not everyone has a car. If you've found a way to live without one by choice then maybe the delivery fee is money well spent. Otherwise, a treat here and there is great, but save for the car down payment, and then save more after with pickup and costco shopping

And take out without the delivery probably cuts the cost by a third. Get in the car and drive a short distance to get it.

What would one call a newly ordered world order? It would need to be something that distinguishes it from the old world order 🤔

Except he was a rhodes scholar. I can't believe this guy doesn't get more shit for having run for Senate as a dem and endorsement of John Kerry

Do you think the word "economically" is in there to distinguish his own family who did not come for economic reasons?
It's a dumb reason if it is, but it wouldn't surprise me if he's carving something out for himself

I guess he found out Alex's parents weren't Trump supporters

Constructed and formed, this is a hell of a subtext

We don't have whatever Cava is here in MN so idk if it would work

I missed that. Thanks
