The Democratic Party is becoming harder to believe in — there’s no unifying theme, no shared ethos.

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

I had this edgelord professor I didn’t like much who had a bit where he’d talk about how voting was an irrational act because the chance your one vote would make a difference vs. the opportunity cost of taking the time to vote blah blah.

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.

Democratic organizers did our fucking part. We gave Democrats a clean sweep on Tuesday so Chuck Schumer have leverage to negotiate.
Instead, either because of malice or sheer fucking incompetence, he is letting his caucus fold like fucking cowards.

You’re gonna put the court you have clearly already soft-captured to a decision on whether you’re allowed to starve people?
