That's what we do in the US now too.

Ask Germany how long people can hold even one bad election against you, let alone two.

I don't know what's worse: if he believes what he's saying or if he doesn't.

Bobby showed it to him. He respects it, but he doesn't order it.

Part of what scares people about ZKM is that he is very talented at explaining progressive ideas not in terms of praxis or ideology but "here's this thing in your day to day life that could be better." AND he does it in terms of reasonable progress not by promising the Revolution.

That last bit. I am only in the top 3rd, but getting here from the 80% took insane luck and, without family safety net is incredibly fragile. I I had the life equivalent of getting 4 numbers right in Powerball and rather than think one day Imma hit all six I work to have more people hit 3 numbers.

The word you're looking for is "racist."

"Trump Bizarrely Claims.....in Racist Moment"

Fixed it for you!

In other news, water is wet. Speaking as a former Black Republican, a key part of it is internalizing that we're "the good ones" but everyone else is an Affirmative Action Hire (now called a DEI Hire).

Like I can eventually forgive people like Warnock and Ossoff. They can plausibly say they need to show occasional bipartisanship given their states (and both have taken some legitimately tough votes when it matters), but if you represent Maryland?? Please, you owe the GOP NOTHING.

If you're a Senator, and you're not on this list, don't ask me for my Presidential Primary vote.

I'm so tired of hearing that we need to "teach our students how to use AI" when the thing they most need to use it is a critical-thinking skill set that can only be acquired by NOT using it. I'm tired of hearing that it's inevitable. I'm tired.

Wait you mean the best trained General Staff in human history doesn't like being told what to do by a racist with the IQ of a stagnant puddle?

THIS. And to that end we need to start being honest with our voters. The next Democratic President isn't bringing the Revolution in year one. We need an ambitious rebuilding agenda--but it's going to take so much longer than Project 2025 has.

Wait mediocre white men aren't bothered by the protection of mediocre white men??

If you only listen to one Tech Bro, it should of course be a Tech Sis. If you only listen to two? It should be @meredithmeredith.bsky.social twice.

If this isn't a national ad next year this time, people at the DNC need to be fired.

the democratic party might misdiagnose your car’s engine trouble

the maga party will certainly steal your stereo, light you and your car on fire, and blame a minority

This is why we have a sixth Amendment. It's shockingly easy to lose yourself to the desire for vengence, not justice.

That said, Free Beacon? Get Help.

There is absolutely no excuse for any Democrat asked about trans athletes to ever respond with anything but “why are you wasting my time asking about FEWER THAN FIFTEEN CHILDREN AND YOUNG ADULTS IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY WHO WANT TO PLAY GAMES WITH THEIR FRIENDS. What is wrong with you?”

Because the real goal is "Let the Mad King feel like a Big Man" we end up with non-strategic new status quos like "Build a car domestically and pay 25% tarriffs on the parts and 50% tarriffs on steel OR build the car in Japan or the EU and pay 15% tariffs to import the whole thing."

I keep saying the problem is we have a "political" press, not a "policy" one.

There aren't always two sides. The reconciliation bill cuts Medicaid. That's not a "side" that's a fact. The media shouldn't pretend otherwise. Mike Johnson is lying because he's a spineless toady. And should be spoken to and treated accordingly.

THIS. We should use Newsom cause he's good at politics. We shouldn't fall for him or make him President cause he's a bad person.

The first prominent Democrat to call not just for the defeat, but the *punishment* of MAGA is the front runner for the Presidential nomination.

The first prominent Democrat to say "Republicans don't just need to be defeated, they must be *punished*" will be the front-runner for the 2028 nomination.

The Democrats need to stop talking about parlimentary procedure: The messaging is simple "Republicans have shown repeatedly this year that any deal we reach with them isn't worth the paper it's written on. As such, there's nothing to negotiate. See you Next November."

So much of this is about convincing other elites (in DC and the MSM) that Democrats are playing fair. When it needs to be about convincing voters that Republicans are Evil and Insane.

He's almost 80 years old. Why would people expect him to act anyway other than the way he has his entire life

If I could ask A.G. Sulzberger and/or Joe Khan one question, it would be, "do you sincerely believe that your coverage of the 2024 election left your audience with a clear and accurate understanding of what each candidates' respective presidencies would look like?"

And to be clear, I'm taking the left position on this. There needs to en accountability
