it's a Mexican standoff scenario where the moderates want us to throw down our guns in order to get some goodwill from the other side, when the other side have made it completely clear they would just execute us if we did that
part of the problem with the entire contours of 'dems need to moderate on [immigration/trans rights/healthcare]' meta-commentary is that dems need a negotiating partner to compromise with. the liberal coalition alone cannot bind this country together.

It's cool how we keep proving over and over and over again that there's a significant market for narrative-heavy, character-driven, single-player experiences in video games and publishers just categorically refuse to believe us

Breaking news: The Trump administration is sending messages to federal staff suggesting only those who are working during the government shutdown will be paid when it ends, despite a 2019 law that guarantees pay to furloughed employees, too.
Administration hints furloughed workers may not be paid after shutdown
Agencies are sending messages indicating that workers who are on the job will be paid when the government reopens — with no mention of those on furlough, despite a 2019 law protecting their wages.

PLEASE vote in local elections–mayors (of small towns, even), board members, etc. They have a direct effect on your life AND are currently the last line of defense against destructive federal policies. In many places so few people vote for city council etc. that your 1 vote can change the result

I don't want to call this person out because they're not entirely wrong, but I think what this misses was that right after 9/11 the political culture were in fact scared shitless that 9/11 was going to happen again and again. It wasn't about civility that made people support WOT, it was fear.

I think a lot of people, myself included, have been suffering a nervous breakdown in some form or another ever since MVP lost last year. We honestly didn’t expect to be going through the same hell that we went through between 2017 and 2021. Now it’s exponentially worse.
This country is suffering a massive nervous breakdown. We need to hand out Thorazine like Pez.
