“Likable person who isn’t 1000 years old and generally does things you like” isn’t unicorn fantasy land bullshit it’s the bare minimum you deserve as a human being

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

she could tax the rich and pass the New York Health Act as a model to the country, that would be a fun way to show that this is more than just pretty words
Interesting that NY gov Kathy Hochul felt compelled to put out a statement against Dems' deal to end the shutdown

I don’t have a whole lot of advice for people younger than me but the earlier in life you stop worrying about what other people will think and just wholeheartedly enjoy the stuff you like the happier you’ll be
One thing people kind of tell you, but not really, about middle age:
One day you'll be like "oh [thing] looks fun but people will think I'm a loser" about a thing
And then you'll say. Wait a second.
Fuck 'em

the Rosetta Stone of dem politics is the 2006 senate primary which incumbent Joe Lieberman lost in part for making out with George Bush
He ran anyway, won with GOP support, dems let him keep his seniority, chairmanships and perks & he rewarded them by obstructing the ACA & killing the public option

An important question you cannot skip over in pursuit of the Primary Them All solution is: how likely is it that defeating entitled narcissists in a primary will actually stop them from running?

I really think I just need to log off because I’m so tired of people acting like it is a fine and easy decision to let 40 million people go without food and millions of workers go without paychecks for the coldest months of the year

What actually happened is that Republicans held a gun to the head of Democrats and said, "Choose between starving kids and healthcare costs."
But why would journalists ever hold Republicans accountable for their hostage-taking tactics?

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

The DNC Gets It.
As this vote moves to the House, I stand with Democratic leadership as they refuse to rubber stamp the full-scale Republican assault on Americans’ health care and I am proud of the majority of Senate Democrats who opposed this vote.

We literally can tell a bible story, it’s the Judgement of Solomon
Republicans are ready to cut the baby in half

The message for Democrats is, "Republicans held food for kids hostage so they could make sure your healthcare costs skyrocket."
Angry as I am with Hassan, Shaheen, et al., the GOP is trying to deny SNAP payments to recipients and to block states' efforts to pay them. They are literally determined to starve the people they see as undeserving.
