I was in a Russian literature class in college and my professor told a great story about a student who was came in basically as a jock there to fill a required credit and left being a complete devotee and obsessive about Dostoevsky’s NOTES FROM UNDERGROUND.

so it’s not guaranteed that people who meet online will get along offline, and this isn’t necessarily about the depth of the friendship but the context
i have had a lot of people who i first met online end up disliking me offline and i used to think this made me atypically bad, but it’s normal

sort of related to this but just about personal life and not politics: i have met many people offline who i met online first, and we’ve become friends, and online only friendship is real but it is fundamentally different and it’s because of this heightened reality/not thing
“why are you negotiating with these supervillains“
consider that even if they do go online and realize their coworkers are insane fascists who might as well be sith lords, it is really, really hard to keep believing someone is genuinely a supervillain when they sit across from you every day

"hey remember having affordable healthcare" is a good message to keep hammering home to the idiot median voter in 26, and glonzoism on subsidies probably helps
Unfortunately the idiots on this site have the opposite problem where they have become convinced glonzo is very much real

1. We need to fight hard for a good ACA extension early in December and hold Republicans fiercely accountable if they betray everyone.

Justices Gorsuch and Thomas, who never agree on anything concerning federal Indian law, agree that the federal government doesn't have plenary power over Native nations. This is a remarkable joint statement that should lead Justice Thomas to revisit a hell of a lot of things he has previously said

The ACA cuts happened in the reconciliation bill in July, every single Democrat voted against it and they got 3 detectors so Vance had to break the tie, and the Dems just shut down the government for 40 days to try and get them to undo it, it is absolutely deranged to blame this on “Democrats”
Yes - this is a loss because Democrats have now signed on to ACA cuts as a complicit party and once again made it a less effective issue for the mid terms
From that perspective, this would be a failure, right? Because the Dems lose the narrative that they did everything to stand in the way of ACA cuts.

Nope! Instead of a $3 bulb, Whirlpool wants me to pay hundreds of dollars for a repair visit. Non-replaceable LEDs are the worst. A proper country would have regulations about this.
