Hakeem Jeffries is so skilled at being a disappointment. The worst opposition leader possible. I am so sick of rank careerism and incompetence.

Adopting rightwing policies β€˜does not help centre-left win votes’ Study of European electoral data suggests social democratic parties alienate supporters by moving towards the political centre

the american electoral system is basically 500,000 information-resistant people across a handful of states taking a guess and then going "haha! oops!" every two years. this process takes 18 months and costs four trillion dollars every time

if we want to rebuild american institutions and earn back the world’s trust after this we cannot settle for half-measures. lots of people need to go prison. lots more need to be permanently stripped of wealth and power.

The marriage thing is NOT an example of bothsideism. Bothsideism is calling extreme left and right equally bad. If you think advocating for things like universal healthcare and regulation on capitalism is equal to fascism we are having very different conversations.

I wasn't mocking, I was just continuing with your analogy. Truly the only thing I'm mocking is the lie of the free market. And I personally feel that bothsideism is disingenuous.

OR hear me out, centrists are the problem with their mealy-mouthed bothsideism bullshit. Neoliberalism needs to die.

The funny part of this is that Republicans in Congress have been pleading for someone in the WH to get Musk to stop talking about Social Security, then Nutlick steps up to make the best ad for Dems yet.
