Wouldn’t expect to make €800 in 24 hours but any sales at all help reduce our debt!

We pay rent tomorrow, and even if the Rent-O-Meter doesn’t reach its goal we’ll still pay rent. Just a combination of help from family and taking on more debt.

i can’t quite explain it but “standing up as opposition doesn’t work” doesn’t seem like good optics for an opposition party to have

I don’t think there’s any political cost for a Democrat running for office to just completely and explicitly and repeatedly saying fuck Chuck Schumer

If you can’t reply to my posts, it means I don’t want to hear from you bc we very likely do not know each other. It’s not personal! You did nothing wrong! However, if you intentionally circumvent it, that just suggests to me that you cannot handle encountering one single boundary, and I hate you.

To try and help clear up confusion going around BSky at the moment regarding the gov’t shutdown:

The Democratic Party folded. They agreed to re-open government for a PROMISE of a vote.

Yes, SNAP recipients suffered for *nothing*.

Yes, there was NO ACA extension.

Yes, they accepted ALL the blame.

For the last 40 days the current Administration took every chance they could to say “we can re-open at any time but those evil Democrats won’t let us!”

And instead of forcing literally ANYTHING of value through in compromise…after 40 days, the Democrats went “actually, turns out you’re 100% right”.

One of the most effective ways to spread misinformation is to frame that misinformation as criticism of a disliked individual or institution.

Anyone correcting the record then appears to be defending that disliked individual, which is unfashionable, and likely to provoke harassment.

notable that this is what the co-founder of Indivisible is saying

this isn’t going to just be a handful of angry posters trying to organize primaries, you’re going to see real organizational muscle behind this I think
We tried to show them after the last surrender. There's no sense in trying to convince them anymore. Primaries are the only path to a fighting opposition party now.

what’s remarkable about this is that there are zero winners at all, one of the biggest lose-lose deals I can remember

the Dem cavers will catch incandescent shit for it

the rest of the Dems will catch collateral fury

the big R win is… jacking everyone’s health care costs ahead of midterms
