The Cynics had five core principles:
1. Ἀρετή (Aretē) – Virtue as the Only Good
2. Αὐτάρκεια (Autarkeia) – Self-Sufficiency
3. Παραρρησία (Parrēsia) – Frank Speech
4. Ἀναίδεια (Anaideia) – Shamelessness
5. Κατὰ φύσιν ζῆν (Kata physin zēn) – Living According to Nature
These are the Way of the Dog.

We’ve now taken the lead by 91 votes! 🤯 This thing is certainly not over! Over 1,000 ballots have been challenged, so if you haven’t tracked your ballot yet get on it! Our trusty volunteers have been working hard to "cure" ballots so they count! We're so close!

It's not over yet, but this is a good sign for Wilson. Every vote counts. If you voted in King County, please check your ballot status at the link below. I've had my signature flagged in the past, and it was very easy to resolve the matter.

It wasn't "cowardice" or naiveté or "4D Chess." These Dems have access to the *same information we do.* They knew *exactly* what the results of this would be. They understood the consequences just as well as you or I. They made the calculated decision to make things worse b/c they are EVIL. 🧵

If you’re in an objectively literal Battle of Good versus Evil, and you keep choosing Evil, that’s not “cowardice.” That’s CHOOSING Evil.

If you’re buying presents for people this season, it’s probably more important now than ever to consider buying gifts from individuals, creators, and small businesses. These are the folks hit hardest by *gestures broadly* and if you have extra spending cash it’s a great place to put it.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

Caving on a deal that doesn’t fix health care is, and always has been, a giant betrayal of the American people.
Hold the line. Save health care. I’m a NO on anything that doesn’t extend ACA subsidies.

Escalate: Democrats should announce that, going forward, for each week we are forced to endure this GOP shutdown they will reveal one more demand. Each demand should be universally popular, and fiscally neutral or positive. They should start with increased tax on billionaires to fund the ACA.

Only the Democrats could watch a series of elections resoundingly go their way and then, less than a week later, loudly announce that they want to fold on the shutdown. Absolutely worthless party of cowards and hogs. Stupid, weak, useless.
