The biggest mistake liberalism made was to watch conservatives worship the constitution and “the founders” like idols for decades and believe they really meant it.
The constitution and the rule of law they hold dear are the versions in their heads where they get to do whatever they are want.

What if, and stick with me here, The Outcomes are the part of politics people actually give a shit about and the process means nothing to anyone outside of it.

These people are so close to getting it but not close enough to understand that this is a powerful argument against liberal democracy - *the* argument that has fueled the meteoric rise of the illiberal right in this century.
She helped pass a bill—which is 100% part of liberalism. Maybe you don’t like the bill. Maybe the bill will hurt some people and have bad outcomes. But that’s part of liberal democracy.

There was a liberal court for a few years in the mid 20th century and the right wing response was to delegitimize for DECADES right up to the point they had a supermajority, at which point it became Wrong to do so. These people think you are stupid bsky.app/profile/chri...
NEW: Jan Crawford's attack on SCOTUS "corruption" narrative was its own substance-free narrative.
On Face the Nation, CBS News's chief legal correspondent went after Supreme Court critics as "dangerous." And yet, her court defense was completely lacking in specifics.

it’s one of the few places that you can still follow the global struggle, there simply isn’t enough adoption of BlueSky in the global south. I find the view being discussed below to be such a Anglo/western Europe-centric sentiment that belies a chauvinism or indifference to the rest of the world
It is entirely understandable to leave Twitter because it's rife with nazis. But are Bsky users who smugly claim people still on Twitter are 'okay' with nazis and Musk, by extension, admitting that they're okay with Bsky's digital ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. Is that how simple the world is.

You wanna know why the dems didnt drop that autopsy on 2024? Because it didnt tell them what they, and their biggest donors, want to hear.
The Israel lobby, health insurance, pharmaceuticals, real estate, want certain results. We'll be back here asking why everyone hates dems in less than 4 years
