When will Dems put together serious messaging on the fact that Republicans make the economy worse every time they're in power? I get that the median voter is 90% vibes based but c'mon guys. You can do *something* with this right?

I'm watching Halo and one of the funniest things is the guy who's just driving a suburban around an alien planet. Really is an indictment of automakers that in 500 years SUV design is still basically the same

It's becoming increasingly clear that this is pretty much the case for any ideological position held by the American right
All political tribes can be hypocritical but the right's current level of hypocrisy on free speech is deliberate. It's an assertion of power not a blindspot.

I think it's Good in general to point out the hypocrisy of the Free Speech Gang right now, it's also good to remember that paradoxes aren't really a problem to fascists. They're probably a natural part of fascist thought; I wrote about it in one of my first papers

Wow it's almost like school voucher programs are scams
Arizona, the model for voucher programs across the country, spent so much money paying private schoolers’ tuition that it faced hundreds of millions in budget cuts to critical state programs and projects last year.

It's telling that these dorks presume the Democratic Party belongs to them. And also, if Mamdani did run on a Dem Soc ticket this guy would be one of the first to critique him as a spoiler candidate!

And this should be the moderate position!
The next Democratic president should declare that the National Emergencies Act and Article II of the Constitution allow him to:
•admit D.C. and Puerto Rico as states
•abolish ICE
•grant citizenship to any immigrant
•disband the 5th Circuit
•expand the Supreme Court
Seriously: Why the hell not?
