Odd that there is so much vilifying of cities as crime-filled cesspools when most of these sho0ters come from isolated, predominantly white, car-dependent suburban/rural towns. Lonely places with few options for communing with others

Just a quick reminder: the government is supposed to spend money on things, with our tax dollars (other than police/war). That’s not indicative of waste or fraud. It’s not a business and doesn’t need to make a profit. The profit is having a healthy, livable society for all.

I really wish he skipped the calls for bipartisanship and platitudes about America’s glory days and made it more clear what Democrats will do to move us out of the situation we find ourselves in

Yeah, this really is the proper way to have a society. And it wasn’t always controversial, but as soon as people of color started benefiting from public services white people opted to burn it all down
governments should spend money, literally all their fucking money. on taking care of the people from whom they got the money. on building cool shit for the people from whom they got the money to use, like highways and public works. this is real easy
how can these people be so bad at this

We should reject outright the framing that the answer is to cut spending, that it needs to be cut. Even giving in to that is playing into conservatives’ hands, letting them set the edges of the debate.

1. What explains the paralysis that seems to have overcome us, as we watch the most powerful nation of Earth spiralling towards fascist dictatorship? Well, a large part of it, I feel, is the surreal, astonishing uselessness of the Democratic Party. 🧵
