On a happier note, JB is such a badass and would make a fantastic POTUS. His vision of American democracy is closer to FDR's than anyone else on the political scene & he's proven that he knows exactly how to stand up to bully billionaires. We need a good class traitor in the White House again.

The only thing special about us is our uniquely bad electoral & legislative institutions. We could be just like every other normal actual democracy. Sure, we'd have all their problems. Every one of them would be vastly better than "the fascists have governing majorities/control of every institution"
If we were an actual democracy, our politics would look ~like 👇: the center-left at ~1/3 of the vote, the center-right ~1/3, the fascists <1/5 (& with no chance of the exec/majorities), & a few small parties. Yes, we’d have tons of problems (see 🇩🇪), but none of them would be “will democracy end?”

I know there are columns to write, news shows to fill and election consultants who need
to justify hourly billing rates. But as someone who attended the scavenger hunt, canvassed on election day and lived in NYC since 2016, affordability is a huge issue and it was nice to feel joy in politics again

I fail to understand why future negotiation matters at this juncture
the GOP flipped the board and Dems are trying to plan their next move
there is no move. there is no game. until we return to lawful order there is no point.
let them fester and rot. don't fucking bail them out...
