Also, along with institutional reform, the platform must be “We are resetting everything to January 20, 2025 by repealing every illegal Trump EO on Day 1, & many senior Trump government & DOGE criminals are going to jail for the rest of their lives.”
🇺🇸 trifectas get shot at doing something

Obama chose policy (ACA). It didn’t fix the authoritarian problem

Biden chose policy (ARP/IRA). It didn’t fix the authoritarian problem

The platform must be institutional reform next time. Right from the start, as @dhnexon.bsky.social said
If we want to actually be a representative democracy, then the platform needs to be institutional reform. All the Popularism and all the policies follow from that, not the other way around.

LOOK AT THIS TOOL

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH I NEEDED THIS TOOL WHEN I WAS POLICY DIRECTOR AT A STATE ENERGY AGENCY

LOOK AT IT

YOU CAN HAVE DIFFERENT, NEW PROBLEMS THAN I DID! NO MORE OLD PROBLEMS! ONLY INFORMATION!
You can use this new tool to answer questions like:

“What kinds of Climate Risk & Adaptation bills were intro'ed in AZ last year?”

“Which bills in MI's most recent session focused on Building Electrification?”

“Did IL pass any ESG laws in 2025?”

Woke 2.0 is going to be beyond our imaginations, I want to leap over the limitations of sex, drugs, and rock & roll and go straight to squid polo, cupcake architecture, and alien reacharounds.
So after we got over that whole McCarthyism crap in the 50s, we got the freedom of the 60s and the weirdness of the 70s and I just really hope I'm around to see straight men in makeup and crop tops and heels in 2040, dancing to Space Disco with long hair and mustaches once we're through ALL THIS.

Also USPS didn't loss money because it doesn't make money because it's not a business and if never makes money to begin with.

It did however deliver over 112.5 billion pieces of mail in 2024 and that doesn't even include packages.
The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

It’s a public service not a business. Losses are not relevant. It’s in the goddamn constitution. Gonna lose my mind. AAAAAAAAAHHHHH
🚨SCOOP: Amazon is preparing to sever ties with USPS and expand its shipping network as a true coast-to-coast rival.

It could cost USPS more than *$6 billion* a year in lost revenue, and lead Amazon to dominate yet another facet of the economy.

USPS posted a *$9 billion* loss in 2025.

America is a country that will test UBI hundreds of times, get the same radically positive results each time, and still look at it askance, but will also put untested robotaxis on the road because a billionaire threw a shit fit.
An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

An easy way to explain luddites:

Textile manufacturers brought in machines that could do in an hour what would have taken 12 hours by hand.

And then, tried to keep paying the now 12x more productive workers the same wages as before.

That's it, that was the problem luddites had. Not complex.
