Your Services As Guidance Counselor Are No Longer Required, Mr. Vonnegut
Dear Mr. Vonnegut, As principal of Stephen R. Perry High School, it is with regret that I inform you that, after considerable reflection and numero...
"According to numerous reports, your 'guidance' has essentially been limited to the following: 'We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.' This is not sound career advice, Mr. Vonnegut."

the SS Edmund Fitzgerald is standing in the corner with a party hat on and saying "They don't know I'm the pride of the American side"
two people dancing: yes we do. there's a song about it
two other people dancing: does anyone know where the love of God goes when the waves turn the minutes to hours?

More than anything else, this is what led some Senate Democrats to cut a deal: Trumpโs willingness to hurt people exceeds their willingness to see people get hurt. I want to give them their due on this: They are hearing from their constituents and seeing the mounting problems, and they are trying to do what they see as the responsible, moral thing. They do not believe that holding out will lead to Trump restoring the subsidies. They fear that their Republican colleagues would, under mounting pressure, do as Trump had demanded and abolish the filibuster. (Whether that would be a good or a bad thing is a subject for another column.) This, in the end, is the calculation the defecting Senate Democrats are making: They donโt think a longer shutdown will cause Trump to cave. They just think it will cause more damage.
If I were in the Senate, I wouldnโt vote for this compromise. Shutdowns are an opportunity to make an argument, and the country was just starting to pay attention. If Trump wanted to cancel flights over Thanksgiving rather than keep health care costs down, I donโt see why Democrats should save him from making his priorities so exquisitely clear. And I worry that Democrats have just taught Trump that they will fold under pressure. Thatโs the kind of lesson he remembers.
like this is basically it, the melts melted under pressure

One reason I don't think it's useful to argue about the correct tactics for Democrats to win elections is winning elections isn't enough. They've won the presidency 5 out of 9 times since 1992 and where are we now. The question is how we create something better than a dead cat bounce party

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. Itโs about peopleโs lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.
