go with me on this
C) terrorize the local male population by roaming the streets demanding they perform tropical bird mating dances for my amusement

3/x it feels completely farcical--like an entire group of people dedicated to going through the motions of daily life even as the world ends because they wouldn't know what to do if they faced the truth, and this is what's setting everyone's hair on fire. Imagine someone saying this:

First of all, here's the problem. Whether it's Schumer saying "how will invading Greenland lower grocery prices" or whether it's Bernie talking about how Denmark and Greenland have healthcare, they're talking about it just the same way as they would talk about literally anything else. 2/x

I spend a lot of time complaining bitterly about what pretty much every single Congressional Democrat is saying about our current situation, so I want to articulate what specifically is wrong with it and what I would specifically like to see different. Here's my initial effort at it. 1/x

This is an embarrassing take and you should feel bad about it
Reality: Even if every Dem voted "no," it still would have passed. I understand the anger, but it actually doesn't matter.

i want to repeat this: mamdani and spanberger have run similar campaigns tailored to their respective electorates and it is maddening to watch political journalists attempt to create some broad contrast where none exist
the other thing about this is that there is no reason to pit these candidates against each other? each are good fits for their respective electorates and each shows the value of vigorous campaigns focused on the stated material problems of voters.

It's increasingly clear that the president lives in a constructed bubble of unreality designed by aides who are manipulating him in order to take control of US policy. Seems like an important story - wish media would cover it.
