This is actually what I like about LC. It's hashtag taking liberalism seriously, as a thick political position with attendant commitments, not as a representation of the materially vacuous stance of a mediator.

The problem is that the gen z cons in particular are so odious that they're triggering massive backlash in their own cohort. Gen Z women are like the most liberal group in the country because the 50% of gen Z men who are cons are literal groyper, repeal the 19th amendment types

This would be funny(er) if there wasn't a real chance this does another 2008 to us all. I'm so mad at how deeply regular businesses have allowed complete shell games like crypto and LLM's penetrate. Good chance we all suffer when the charlatans have their bills come due.

They are doing extreme levels of damage, but god as my witness this is not how you create a lasting regime and they aren't consolidating anything but losses.
We will have the work of multiple lifetimes to mend what they have torn (assuming we can) but they are losing and they know it.

Yeah, that's not how it works ever since the Hague Convention of 1899. That is some John Yoo-level horrifying shit from the White House.
FOX: You said the follow up strike was lawful. What law is it that allows no survivors?

This last year has been all about me adjusting to the reality that my life is now very much not about me anymore.
I am not living to fulfill my own goals, or to advance my own agenda.
I am losing weight and staying in my job because I have a family that needs me around.
It's been weird.

I'm really tired of people pretending that this is about whether or not the essay was bad! It's not. It's about trying to purge trans people from society. The student called the TA a fucking demon, man. Do you know what that's like?

thinking more about this: it is highly ironic that at the same time that it serves as a test case for the "unitary executive," this administration is all but being led by two subordinate officials with no immediate political accountability.

like running an independent is fine in a short term sense to make more senate seats competitive but kinda undermines long to goals of just electing more democrats (particularly if said independents reinforce negative preconceptions about democrats)
i think fundamentally the issue with the "just run an independent lol" which is a fine tactical play but horribly strategy because you cannot escape the democratic brand as someone who is not a republican in a polarized environment
this is a perfectly good theory which presents the problem that it has not happened once in american history

this is basically my primary objection to “run independent populists in red states”. they are going to behave like independent populists in red states. angus king is basically your best-case scenario.
indie senators are also going to be *significantly* less likely (as in — not at all likely) to go big on reforms to the court or abolishing the filibuster, and without doing either, most of what you can is defense, not offense

trump is the president in the sense that he holds the office but he very clearly isn't the president in the sense that he has basically relieved himself of its duties
Trump’s echo chamber:
Very little U.S travel
No rallies or contact with supporters
Right-wing media
Dinners with rich donors and billionaires
Truth Social
Lack of staff to tell him no www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...
