We are one of the most petty, miserable, mean-spirited, spiteful little islands in the world. The process we force these people through is already dehumanising and a stain on the moral character of us all.
And this ghoul thinks it is too generous.

It's almost like... like maybe the fascism *never* actually arose from working class "economic anxiety"... like maybe the working class *weren't* actually the ones radicalised by bourgeois resentment of "cancel culture" and "wokeness"... like maybe the working class have... more pragmatic priorities
Remarkable: In Virginia and New Jersey, Spanberger and Sherrill erased the GOP edge among working class. Per exit polls, each got 50% of noncollege voters, big gains over previous contests.
Shocker: Anti-Trump politics appeals to working class, too!

also our political anthem is literally called the Internationale! it’s far more reasonable for us to care about NYC than it is for right-wingers to care about Trump
The "why do you care so much about the NY mayoral election" takes strike me as pretty obtuse. The world's sole superpower is being taken over by fascists, and this was part of the struggle to define what the opposition to that will look like. That obviously has major implications for all of us?

I will never understand the pundit obsession with getting Democrats to solve "political division."
Not only is this what they're already doing, but Klein admits that Republicans will never do the same. So elections will remain constant GOP smears and simping Democratic promises of bipartisanship.

Every time a reactionary ‘taboo-breaker’ becomes a free speech icon/martyr, sacralisation demands that their critics are fired, silenced,threatened, purged.This gets called hypocrisy, but that would require free speech be a coherent idea, rather than the technology of power it’s always been.
