New Yorkers are tired of being asked to believe in a system that has delivered little for them. They want a politics that can see the scale of the crisis, and actually start to tackle it.

You get tricked by girls lying about their age because you're the sleazeball "barely legal" type of pedo who tries to get them as close to childhood as possible. Supposing you didn't lie about her lying about her age.

The people who complain about Dems as a circular firing squad don't understand that it's not circular because regular people aren't holding any guns.
When Dem senators vote for Trump's nominees, they've lined up with the Republicans to shoot at us. All we can do is shout from behind the blindfold.

Bluesky is quickly becoming the Gavin Newsom of liberals. Better than the alternative - mostly - but will absolutely sell you and their ethics up the river when it's expedient. Especially if you're transgender.

There's no point in punishing the nominees of the opposition for stances that we consider beyond the pale — let alone ones that are problematic. The logic of "teaching them a lesson" presupposes that we still have a system in which the opposition can win elections.

To be clear: Democrats care more about killing the left than they do about defeating the right. And Bernie will tell you to vote for whatever hack they throw up next to represent the very oligarchs he claims to despise.

I no longer believe Bernie. He is a sheepdog for a dying party that only serves the interest of its donors. Sad but true.
YOUNG WV VOTER: “How do we get the corporate wing of the Democratic Party who is just as guilty of taking billionaire money to embrace a progressive working class agenda?”

I have always respected Jess. She is of course correct. But at some point the Dem establishment stopped caring about rural politics because there is no corporate cash in it. Actually making things better for regular folks simply is not a priority.
