I am still darkly chortling about this a day later. "Democrats need to offer something to voters."
OK what are you offering?
"A modest tax credit and free community college for those who qualify."

Look at this shit. "We need someone with a positive vision! That's why I'm proposing minor technocratic tweaks and a bizarre, performative non-policy"

I have a modest proposal that the MLB should not play World Series games on Halloween.
My favorite Mets postseason story is nine years ago when my parents were visiting and agreed to watch my then-baby twins on Halloween so we could pass out candy and take the older kid trick-or-treating and they backed out 30 minutes in because the twins were distracting them from the World Series.

We can see how they reacted to Mamdani, whose proposals are mostly fairly modest "kitchen-table" polices, I believe all of which have already been tried either in NYC or elsewhere.
But he's apparently a radical socialist who will bring the Red Terror to America.
But he's apparently a radical socialist who will bring the Red Terror to America.
Another fundamentally cynical aspect of this narrative is the idea that pundits like Douthats wouldn't *also* accuse Democrats of radicalism if they passed a bunch of 'kitchen-table' policies. Are we really gonna pretend the NYT op-ed page would support a $20 minimum wage?
This right here, this exact sentence, is THE problem in American political journalism.
The IRA *was* cheap energy and good jobs! That was the whole bill! Democrats did precisely what political pundits are telling them to do and the pundits just ignore it.

"What began as a modest workplace amenity for public servants has metastasized into a taxpayer-funded citadel of privilege."

In a recent strip from @danshive.bsky.social, there was some confusion regarding what a character meant by "Modest." A shooting Moose has arrived to help clear up the confusion.
Perhaps now the Fairy Godmother will get it and "enhance" her ward.

Andrew’ punishment?
To live in a 5 bedroom farmhouse on the Sandringham estate.
But what about this lass?
Sarah Ferguson is a loyal,modest & caring mum respected by all.
What is she supposed to do, poor love?
Surely Charles MUST find her at least a 4 bedroom farmhouse to live in?

Obviously, this is in reference to matters of personal assessment and humility. It could not possibly be in reference to anything else whatsoever.

The quote is routinely described as you say (sometimes also with "a proletariat" replaced by "poor"), but the original is as described.
IMHO, Steinbeck would not have minded the modest misquoting, the meaning is the same.

And it would just go to food. Oh no, someone might have gotten a modest amount of money to spend on food when they didn't need it, whatever.
