I'll wait and see if I can still live here long- term or not lolol

Astoundingly so!

Yep and his presidency has roughly similar fatal flaws as LBJ too

I'll say this to anyone who will listen (which isn't really that many, in the grand scheme of things)

But I wasn't Hollywood Steve yet! That's how I got the nickname!!

"Including the party's progressive wing as coalition partners and sometimes giving them parts of what they want" is certainly better than business as usual, but it hardly constitutes "bending over backwards." Also notable that House progressives had Biden's back while "centrists" blocked his agenda

It's in the scene where they board the Black Pearl and try to invoke parlay with Geoffrey Rush. I'm in the background of one shot with a dirty pinkish-purple hat and dirt makeup all over my face

This was basically me in one shot of the first Pirates of the Caribbean

We didn't clap hard enough, and that's why Tinkerbell died

Traumatized people already live with a feeling that danger lurks around every corner and may strike at any moment, and I hate seeing that feeling exploited for clicks/likes/engagement metrics

thank you for this, I was informed that men should not attempt this response

anxiously awaiting this realization from the rich/affluent/bougie/upper-middle-class faction, but unfortunately those are the people running the "opposition" party and trying to maintain control of it above all else

Right and like her own family didn't even applaud this line

Harris Promises “Most Lethal” Military on Earth “Enough is enough,” Bernie Sanders says in response

"It's technically possible to commit suicide by shooting yourself in the head, twice"

Three people who were actually murdered:

- Rolling Stone reporter Michael Hastings, pursuing big story involving the CIA

- Karl Rove's IT guy Michael Connell, possible architect of 2004 election ballot fraud in Ohio

- Gary Webb, reporter who broke story about the CIA funneling crack $$ to contras

Why are they themselves always so terrible at persuading, and relatedly why is every accusation a confession nowadays

bc anyone who doesn't have money is viewed as irrelevant in American politics

"The rules only apply to Bad People, and I am a Good Person"

Right bc the massive George Floyd protests were so effective in "lobbying" our reps to grow spines, jfc do you not understand that "lobbying" involves more money than any of us have

J. B. Pritzker Looks Like a Progressive Hero Because Democrats Have Set the Bar So Low J. B. Pritzker is a billionaire Democrat who hasn’t even signed on to Medicare for All. But the Illinois governor has captured the imaginations of some progressives simply by doing what most Democrats...

He does have some credibility among leftists for actually following through on Democratic priorities and getting legislation passed

My question is: what non-leftist Democrat is going to campaign, and follow through on, putting these people in prison?

What do you recommend if the 2028 Dem nominee's campaign ends up being wishy-washy about sending people to prison, in the name of "looking forward not backward"

The problem with capitalism is that eventually you run out of other countries' resources

This was always my favorite part of working at AMG and I'm glad they wrote this up!
