Been screaming this for years. Reality TV often glorifies people acting badly and it’s lowered social standards accordingly.
One could argue that the death of well-written sitcoms and dramas, and the rise of reality TV, brought us to this point.
And ultimately, that all came down to TV that was cheap to produce but high on returns.
We literally lost more carefully thought-out plot lines and cultural models.

at the hope of not sounding like a 'well akshuley' meme.
A lot of us do, or did when we where in the game. Our media models, mostly in young adult dramas, almost always had a "well listen dumbass' episode to set the point. These days, it's all "Real Housewives Survivor: Jersey Shore"

A necessary starting point.
I guess my three main questions for a 2028 Dem presidential candidate would be
-Will you abolish ICE and prosecute everyone involved
-Will you prosecute Musk and the DOGE boys
-Will you expand SCOTUS with the aim of neutralizing all Roberts-era jurisprudence

Open borders create more safety than closed ones, and most of the benefits of safety are downriver from being the sort of people who keep their borders open, thereby avoiding the terrible dangers inherent to being the sort of people who would keep their borders closed.
The more of these fascist atrocities I see, the more I become an immigration maximalist. Let everyone in, give everyone work permits/green cards. Make it possible to get citizenship within a few months. Make it as easy as getting a driver's license.

If you want AI proliferation, you must support Universal Basic Income. Otherwise, your ethics are compromised.
If we gave everyone subsistence, no, we wouldn't have a lazy society. There's no limit to what people might do if their basic needs were met... we'd have less peril and more innovation.

production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

I think the 2016 and 2024 elections showed that leftists have a lot to learn about just sucking it up and choosing the better option and liberals have a lot to learn about listening to the people to their left who say “everything is not perfect.”
Yeah, like these nitwits still haven’t figured out the way to avoid being here is not to spend 18 months poisoning the well against the one option to prevent fascism.
Now that we are here, yes, maybe start listening to us since that was too much to ask before, and you fucked up.

Shit’s about to get East Winged by this stupid motherfucker.
Faced with major boycotts and ridicule, Trump says he’s closing the Kennedy Center for about 2 years. If only he’d close down his presidency at the same time.
Trump: "I have determined that the fastest way to bring The Trump Kennedy Center to the highest level of Success, Beauty, and Grandeur, is to cease Entertainment Operations for an approximately two year period of time, with a scheduled Grand Reopening that will rival and surpass anything."

Timid Dems not using their power to fix structural problems paved the way for Trump and MAGA. If you believe government is the best institution to tackle systemic issues, then use government to tackle systemic issues. Do it proudly. Make a show of it. Be loud.
No! The criticism of the Dems isn't that they never win elections, it's that they don't use power to solve the problems that got us here. Elite impunity, concentration of wealth, the unitary executive. Winning is only step 1
New - Chuck Schumer to haters: “The answer to these critics is to win. If we win back the Senate, that will answer every question"
Peltola “was the last piece to the puzzle"
He says Dem path to Senate is Ohio, Alaska, Maine and NC. Dems are watching Texas/Iowa
