My condolences, Sarah 💔

Pro-democracy forces taking back power will be monumental enough. In my lifetime they've never had it!

Maybe most of them are on the same payroll and so "agree" with his course of action? I mean, AIPAC alone is probably payroll enough to ensure compliance on everything.

Trump: I'm on Team A.

Democrats: We're also on Team A. But shush.

Though Newsom isn't inevitable so... we may still bear some legitimate blame if we don't start caring mmm about now, in 2026.

And healthcare being for-profit in the first place.

It does have a whiff of Manchinema, doesn't it?

I'm sick of people thinking in two dimensions. We know who the GOP is. Period. We don't have to harp on it each day, or even with each new low. We need to focus on stopping them, which means ensuring our side isn't corrupt and undermining our solutions like a double agent. FFS.

I guess but Minneapolis didn't bother taking threats seriously, so conflict aversion? Plus SCROTUM ruled that states cannot determine eligibility for office (re: Colorado and the 14th amendment) so state authority over elections is at best squishy.

Ok but we saw how hard corporate media worked to get Trump back... two years ago. That wasn't convincing enough? Why would anyone still pay these outlets? Are we responsible for this mess, just a little?

FWIW Wajahat Ali is now claiming the term "Vichy Democrat." I said nope out loud.

Name probably needs to be changed.

I believe nearly all DC politicians are controlled by the same dark money interests, regardless of party, and play a game of good cop/bad cop to persuade us otherwise on virtually everything. That you seem unwilling or unable to consider this betrays your declared understanding of complex systems.

Why would the global oligarchy only be interested in protecting their figurehead from sex crimes? Can't two things happen at the same time? Or have we voluntarily shrunken our capacity for critical reasoning?

And your naivete is unshakable.

Your rebuttal is what Gore Vidal would have called a "small adjustment." It's for political credit. Like "successfully" forming a committee to study court reform. Nothing substantial changed, with student loans a small success to persuade the hopeful, but most importantly credit for "trying."

It's not really surprising that Democrats are successful, is it? Whatever.

You should learn to recognize performative politics. Democrats impeached *because* there was no conviction possible. Like Biden put out an aggressive student loan policy because he knew it'd be overturned by SCROTUM. You're being played.

Let's see if Democrats somehow win Congress next year. THEN we can complain about lack of opposition. Because Democrats will make sure we have reason to, don't worry.

Perhaps you shouldn't have helped Clinton continue Reaganomics?

Obviously there's far less global power and wealth to secure in Brazil than in America. If Garland South was kompromised Trump South wouldn't be in jail.

"Sooner or later."

No, we're cowards.

This may be entertaining but Newsom is NOT a progressive. He's buying up credibility but whatever his ambitions, he will NOT fight authentically when it counts and to the bitter end. Think of all the other fake opposition Democrats. He's another. Don't be fooled by easy cheap shots.

Honestly Sarah, as a merciless backuper, I would do all of your social media including BS if I were you. And I do mean BS.

"Someone's always watching, Mr. Mulder."

Welcome back :)

Omg I forgot about that game

AOC toned down her firebrand image to keep her job (ask Katie Porter what happens when you don't), then sided with Biden and establishment Dems on Gaza last year. She's in the club. She's got enough credibility to be trusted to swing back around to play populist again, but not necessarily to be ML.

When we refuse to seize the party through populism and primaries... nope, we don't deserve shit.

Didn't earn it.

Why doesn't he just lie like on the other days of the week?
