Which is why it’s important to start thinking about what might be put in its place (and how the destroyers of the old order can be held to account) without being constrained by biased rules interpreted by biased referees.

It's not "sour grapes." Harris's loss tells us a larger story about how male leaders all too often sabotage female leaders.
Men screw things up, ask women to fix it, and then blame women when that proves impossible.

If we're finally going to crack down about lying to Congress under oath, I think there are several Cabinet members and a few Supreme Court justices whose testimonies might need revisiting.
Rep. Dan Crenshaw: "This is about lying to Congress under oath, and Comey needs accountability for that. He doesn't get to just walk through the woods and write poetry and do other weird things and post on Instagram anymore. He's gonna actually have to face it."

Signs you might be a far right authoritarian party (#3237):
Literally the authoritarian playbook:
1. Call your opponents terrorists.
2. Deploy state power against them.
There's nothing subtle or confusing or complex about what's happening. The *outcome* is uncertain but the authoritarianism is right out in the open.

This administration very literally favors Secret Police.
Vance: "When they encourage us to unmask ICE law enforcement officers, what do you think is gonna happen? ... what's gonna happen is political violence & it has gotten out of control in this country. We gotta stop it, we gotta condemn it, & that starts unfortunately at the very top of the Dem Party"
