Trying to sit with life as it is, rather than what I want it to be.

We have a department of war, while Biden tried to fund a genocide unnoticed.

One reason liberals dislike Trump is he makes subtext the text. He's not smart enough to disguise US foreign policy.

The GOP propaganda line:
- Trump protects you
- They hate you
- They want to attack Trump
- Attacking Trump is attacking you

It's terrible she is legally required to be under his control for 5 more years.

Usually people don't advertise that they have zero knowledge, but maybe they feel proud of that fact.

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You donโ€™t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

Imagine telling Haitians or Cubans or Palestinians that the US is no longer leading human rights.

"Elected Democrats spending more time today praising Dick Cheney than Zohran Mamdani" seems factually correct.

It sounds like someone is coming to grips with the reality that Mamdani could win.

Do you see a difference between "out-of-touch Democratic strategists+donors" and "capital throttles"?

It feels like Democratic donors are a subset of capital throttling.
