I’m not an absolutist. I don’t believe any economic -ism in its pure form is the best solution for society. I lean towards socialism & would pick that over raw capitalism. I’m not on board with anyone pushing any economic theory like it’s natural law that can only exist in its pure form.

New Data shows at least 3,800 children, including infants, have been put in detention since Trump took office. Many were held for long stretches. “There is no other way to describe it; it’s a jail for children," one parent said.

We are parents of a trans kid and our family takes this very, very personally. If you intentionally make life harder for our beloved daughter, it’s EXTREMELY hard to think of you as an ally, to say the least. @amyklobuchar.com - you still send us requests for money, while hurting our kid. Disgusted.
Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->
By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).

I agree with this. It’s becoming crystal clear that too many Dems believe having principles runs counter to their “pragmatic” ways.
Some Dems have told themselves only ~1% of the population is trans so they can dip their toe in the anti-trans filth and come out clean.
I don't have any trans family members—but it still makes me irate. I see it as a huge red flag, a sign you are unprincipled and untrustworthy. And I'm not alone.

The repeated pattern (see also Washington Post) is that these choices to veer rightward are not economic decisions: they turn off the core audience. Editorial choices are loss leaders for bigger corporate goals.

Every Democrat who uses the term “purity politics” has the exact same complaint as Nate.
like his complaint is literally that there are people who believe in things, believe those things are right, and believe in those things regardless of whether they are popular.

This is the libertarian point of view that argues if you’re dumb enough to be exploited, then that’s on you. It’s an argument against basic ethics and morals because it defies the natural order and life is a competition. Rules are unnatural and unfair.
