People who spend their lives thinking the private sector, acting in its own interests, can fix all of the public sector's problems all end up apoplectically furious when the private sector, acting in its own interests, doesn't fix all of the public sector's problems.

losing michigan because they sent ritchie torres and bill clinton to dearborn to tell the people there why it’s good and necessary that their families are being genocided is a real light punishment in the cosmic sense

Something that any viable Democrat candidate must address in 2028 is how we forcibly extricate these thoughts and attitudes toward our fellow Americans from the people who are ostensibly paid to protect them. We know that conceit a lie but too many people understand the toothpaste is out of the tube

Any time someone gets mad at me for suggesting that Obama didn't care enough about the public option or card check to lean on Joe Lieberman more than a little bit in 2009 I'm going to send them this post.

LBJ would have locked Lieberman in the Oval Office with him and threatened to play the drum solo from "Wipe-Out" with Jumbo on the Resolute Desk until he caved and that would have been step one.

Farm Goth 🇵🇸 @poemsandfungus.bsky.social · 22h

Like at this point, I'm past asking people to mask up. But I am asking for people to not be so openly hostile towards me masking and minding my own damn business.
