Wow!

I was worried about the air traffic controllers who were working long hours without pay. And the possible consequences of that, as I said.

Pointing out strategy, rather than bowing to reductive dogma. I support those who disagree, and appreciate the need, but illogical attack is beyond unhelpful.

And all it would have taken was one event wherein two passenger planes collided, and the mob would have turned back onto the Dems to blame. They held long enough to focus people onto who is opposed to health care. Now it is time to pay air traffic controllers again. Give up groupthink. Think.

Those at or near the poverty level likely have health care plans already (not that that means they can actually receive care-- because doctors don't want to work at the rates--unless they are in Cali or somewhere where the state chips in). The subsidies from the CovidEra helped higher income people,

How is it that people are more up in arms about higher income workers keeping their health care subsidies than that the most desperately poor keep assistance to eat and feed their children? Oh, I know, 'cause those aren't their people. Investment class Democrats are. Thankfully, Independents decide.

Will SNAP be funded for a year now? Because THAT and paying air traffic controllers is plenty. Now everyone who might not be listening before, knows who will be raising their healthcare costs. If I was a mother trying to feed my kids and SNAP was cut off, I'd sob. Today, happy tears. Try sympathy.

Eventually.

White working-class voters eventually gave up on the Ds after NAFTA (thanks, Bill). Eventually. After the Ds allowed their retirement funds to turn into 401Ks so that they would be forced to care about the trust-funder East Coast casino. Dehumanizing this group doesn't help. Got Trump elected.

Cocktail party investment class Ds turned their backs on working people in the 90s. Now their private schooled progeny continue virtue signal division since they have their trust funds to protect them. Demonizing those with which you disagree will not win elections. Generated hate is not persuasive.

wish I was there

Came out of my slumber after vivid dreams of #California this morning with a slight smile on my face, then my eyes moistened as I realized I was in #stl. God, get me back to Cali.

This explains everything.

neverending

Blowing apart American democracy has always been the plan of unitary executive theorists, decades before Trump ever thought of being a Republican. He's just a willing oligarch puppet. The unholy alliance: white nationalists, theocrats, the insane greedy, male chauvinists / misogynists / gynophobes.

Greed is a progressive mental illness.

Protest sign: I don't watch Fox News for the same reason I don't eat out of the toilet in front of the Gateway Arch.

Ignoble.

I felt the same way about Redford.

Those who have been salivating over the unitary executive theory for decades before Trump ever considered becoming a Republican. Those who say date rape is just delayed regret, that we are post-Constitutional, want to repeal the 19th, and the 14th and the 15th, and support military in the streets.

God, get me back to California.

Global, over the history of the species. Bro Code, aka Male Cooperation in evolutionary psychology.

Such as:
There was a survey of college men in the 90s, asked, if they knew they could get away with it and no one would know, would they like to rape a woman. Seven out of ten answered, "Yes."
Seven.
