Possibly an even worse site to say this on than twitter, but I think everyone forgets the simple value of waiting a couple weeks and seeing how things play out if you've got the option.

I got sort of inured to the tendency of conspiracy fiction to hit you over the head with the Political Import last year's Ellroy binge. Found the system focus and vagueness refreshing here.

Which 00s pop song do YOU think Bud should be a backup dancer in next?
In the Agitator, Mike D. analyzes @dsarandr.bsky.social's dirty break convention resolution, arguing that a break and programmatic unity would unintentionally make DSA a more conservative organization. He distinguishes between 'party logic' and the way DSA chooses candidates now. Link below:

Its funny. Corey Robin's book was very controversial when he defined conservatism as a defense of hierarchical rule, and I got some push back for insisting that it was premised on a rejection of equality.
Now a lot of conservative thinkers just affirm that view unambiguously and proudly.

They took the proud tradition of militant liberalism - a tradition that predates the whole Marxist/communist error - and tried to disappear it completely. Your choice was "always compromise" or "join DSA," which turned out to be great for everyone who wanted Trump to win
