I have become a very specific type of social conservative for exactly this reason—I don’t give a shit about your lifestyle choices as long as they just impact you, but once that lifestyle includes voting for Trump or otherwise fucking over other people for fun, I very much do
my increasingly curmudgeonly take is that we all, in fact, have responsibilities. politics isn't an arena for self-actualization. it's an arena for public service. this is as true of voters as it is of politicians.
Ps: a common refrain that you'll hear is that "you're saying the Dems can't be at fault, it's the voters, as if the voters owe something to politicians and not the other way around!"
Yes, actually, that's how the social contract of democracy works. Voters yet the government they work for. Or don't.

I really don't think very many people are mad at Schumer et al for not abolishing ICE. They understand how the government works. It's that he has given no indication that he would even if he could.

Yes, Democrats currently have almost no institutional power in the government. But that shouldn't stop them from articulating a set of clear moral priorities for when they hold power again

I'll just cut through all the bullshit of the debate here and say that I think it's really good to stake a strong moral stance in legislative negotiations first and then get a compromise bill later instead of pre-compromising and making it look like you think that's all that's needed.

“in theater” is a crazy way to describe minneapolis
Q: Can you be specific about how many ICE and CBP agents are currently operating in the state?
HOMAN: 3,000. There's been some rotations. They've been in theater a long time. Day after day, can't eat in restaurants, people spin on you, blowing whistles at you. But my main focus now is draw down

The immanent contradiction of dominance masculinity is that it both claims absolute authority and strength and also cannot countenance even the slightest challenge.
