Right, the answer isn't to abandon the party to these weasels.
The answer is to flood the party with people who will take it over and transform it.

Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent.
Let me tell you why you shouldn’t do that in Colorado.
One of the main ways to get a primary challenge candidate on a ballot is to caucus for your party. You need to be registered as a Dem to caucus.

Some thoughts on the CR/minibus.
1 The Dems negotiating with Rs were not freelancing. They coordinated with Sen Schumer. A few were ready to give in on day one, others worked to maximize appropriations wins.
Those voting for the 'deal' are the ones furthest away from electoral consequences.

Honestly, we do need to rethink how we approach governance. The world is just so many orders of magnitude more complicated and fast-changing than it was even 100 years ago let alone 250.
Frustration with how crap the government is at almost anything is a BIG part of why we are where we are.

I have to hand it to them, it's an incredible bit to publicly lose a game of chicken, admit that's what happened, and then spend the next day lecturing everyone about courage and tenacity

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

Sometimes I wonder how different things would be if most feedback systems weren't all inherently biased towards the type of person who is most likely to give feedback.
Like, I'm not sure I've ever been involved in a single survey I've read the analysis for.

Folks, if we're going to survive a time like this, we're going to need to avoid burning out from an attitude of 24/7 vigilance and constant outrage.

We demand a Conclave! Send white smoke out of a chimney when a budget is passed. Until then, lock the chamber door.

On top of refusing to fully fund SNAP during the shutdown, the Trump regime has:
-Cut $1 billion from USDA programs supporting food banks
-Enacted tariffs that have caused food prices to rise
-Made the largest cut to SNAP in history
-Canceled the annual food security survey
Shameful.

Big corporations would rather you buy more of their product and they found a perfect way to make sure you buy more.

While the government prosecutes this case “in some purported effort to keep law enforcement safe and free from food fights,” CBP employees “are joking about it.” The gov, she says, is trying to turn a “gag-gift worthy moment into a federal criminal offense. We ask you not to allow them to do that.”

Apparently confluence thinks I used AI to write all my technical documentation.
It is increasingly absurd to try and use AI to differentiate LLM output from competent human technical writing, and I am EXTREMELY tired of it.
They are ***DESIGNED*** to mimic human writing.
Not my fault I can write.

After Trump’s major losses yesterday, the White House says it’s preparing executive orders aimed at changing how U.S. elections are run, citing so-called “blatant fraud” as the reason. It’s clear they just can’t accept losing.

I can't help noticing the Supreme Court conservatives expressing the first doubt of a Trump assertion in oral arguments the day after the election day where every Republican running lost by 20 points. But they would never be swayed by such worldly things in their consideration of The Law, right?

Y'all ever feel like you were taught to "be there for people" but that you were also never really taught or given experience for what the fuck that actually looks like in practice and so it just becomes a complex that also makes you incapable of leaning on others in the same capacity?
