America: Did you order the code Red?

Hegseth: YOU’RE GODDAM RIGHT I DID!

America: Uhm, it’s a crime.

Hegseth: Ok, someone else ordered the Code Red.

The attack on vaccines by the bad actors who are running amok in the U.S. government will result in the following:

1. Substantial reduction in vaccine access

2. Significantly increased vaccine-preventable disease

3. Significantly increased pediatric deaths

4. A witch hunt for a β€œcover up”.

Doesn’t matter. In one big union we support each other on every strike.

And of course never cross a picket line. Ever.

It matters not one bit what we think of Starbucks or how long you’ve boycotted them over their over-priced over-sugary concoctions with ridiculous, pretentious, fake Italian-like terms for sizes and our passionate devotion to independent local coffee shops and or my home pour over.

This report, Deciding To Win, is a call for the Democratic Party of the mid 2020s to transform itself into something ancient, a nightmarish amalgamation of the Clinton-era party and the pre-Newt Gingrich Republican Party. Deciding To Win urges the Democratic Party to become Monstro Elisasue from The Substance.

There are a dozen ways in which this report is an amoral failing. Let's consider just one way: Abandoning abortion rights – basic bodily autonomy – after a half century of the right wing dismantling access to the medical procedure. Most Americans no longer have real access to abortion care after the captured Supreme Court killed Roe v. Wade and these politics knowers want Democrats to de-emphasize restoration of abortion rights. The report explicitly calls for the party to give up on reproductive rights, to concede the victory to a movement that strives to control Americans' fertility, a movement that has put every pregnant person in the US at risk. If the Democratic Party is not up for the fight to restore nationwide abortion access, it doesn't deserve to exist.

Deciding To Win – a roadmap to losing everywhere all the time – is a Knope-esque plea to become boring in an age of dopamine overload, to ignore the conversion of politics into content to be consumed by a populace with no understanding of its own history. It operates under the assumption that Americans are citizens when we are not. We are consumers of goods and of content because that's all we were ever taught to be. This report is for a world that no longer exists. It belongs to the world that ended when Hillary Clinton's campaign collapsed under the weight of a new world populated by anxious, depressed MAGA for Mamdani Guys.

FWIW, social democracies like Norway, Sweden etc have big businesses. They have billionaires.

They also have universal healthcare, quality free education & child care, and programs to curb poverty and food insecurity.

How?

Their billionaires pay taxes and don’t control the government.

He orders extrajudicial killings. He sent troops into our cities. He terrorizes citizens with ICE raids. He raised taxes without congressional approval. He has ruined American farmers and ranchers. He plans to starve the vulnerable. He demolished our house.

Amazing that just mere weeks ago, Republican governors were so concerned about the health of SNAP recipients that they staged photo ops when they banned the use of SNAP for purchasing soda.

Now apparently they think SNAP recipients shouldn’t even be able to buy food at all.

MAGA!
