Every time something like the GOP chat leak occurs I hear smart people arguing that shame could be a useful tactic. But shame only works if the bad actors think their actions are bad. Hypocrisy, shame, these Victorian-ish norms are just that, norms, guardrails, and they don't work against fascism.

Yep. Since Reagan.

Emerging from the darkness of this era will require us to acknowledge that the previous status quo, including many institutions that may have served us well in another era, have been failing for my entire lifetime.

Clear violation of his 1A rights, I hope he sues the living fck out of the federal government. Beyond that, if we had a DOJ that wasn't corrupt af, they'd bring cases against the individual agents.

Young people are the least reliable voters though.

JFC if you have to ask you shouldn't be having this conversation. It's an astonishingly naive question.

You said a generation of talent was wasted, but I don't see any proof of that.

But it wasn't because she had some sort of nefarious "machine" behind her, it's because she was the easy choice.

Also, if she's in full possession of her faculties, as she clearly is, what's the problem?

I didn't vote for Feinstein in her last primary because of any supposed machine. I voted for her because she was heroic in a crisis (Moscone/Milk assassinations) and had a pretty good record as Senator and de Leon was trash.

I don't think the talent in CA has been wasted. We got Newsom as gov, Harris was AG, then Senator, then VP, Padilla is not very old (52), etc. Who specifically are you thinking of when you say a generation was wasted?

You asked where the young people were in Maine so I answered. In CA, Feinstein should have quit but the fact is the last time she ran in the primary her main opponent was trash so she won easily.

No no you don't understand their job is stenography.

Maine only has two representatives in Congress and obviously two Senators. There aren't a lot of high-profile young people coming along because there are so few seats. Jared Golden is young but he's not what most Democrats would consider a good one.

A poll this far out is meaningless anyway. He's unvetted and unknown. Politics ain't beanbag, as they say. Let him survive the rough and tumble of a contested primary (oh noes! we're supposed to clear his path) and a general election campaign before calling him electable.

Me make a whole post without a typo challenge, level: impossible. (Should be "at times" not "at time" FFS.)
