🇺🇸 trifectas get shot at doing something

Obama chose policy (ACA). It didn’t fix the authoritarian problem

Biden chose policy (ARP/IRA). It didn’t fix the authoritarian problem

The platform must be institutional reform next time. Right from the start, as @dhnexon.bsky.social said

If we want to actually be a representative democracy, then the platform needs to be institutional reform. All the Popularism and all the policies follow from that, not the other way around.

Trump Humiliation Worsens as Fresh Info Reveals Scale of GOP Losses
The results showed that Democrats don’t have to choose between attacking Trump and highlighting the economy. In fact, they are often inseparable.

We agree. @zeitzoff.bsky.social

Here’s an illustration .

Trump just extorted Brazil. Why isn’t American Media covering his totalitarian abuses-of-power in his “deals” with other countries?
Foreign news organizations are a mirror to the crisis in American democracy - and highlight failures in American media coverage.

@ucs.org We think you might be interested in our statement on the domestic terror attack on CDC's main campus on Aug 8. FBF is made up of illegally fired CDC staff and their allies. Please consider amplifying our messages to #savescience, #saveCDC, and #savepublichealth.

The only way out of our endless, 160 year-long cycle of total elite non-accountability is through:

We should have started doing the elite accountability thing in 1865, & kept doing it & then we wouldn’t be here. We should have finished Reconstruction & become an actual Republic of laws & equal rights for everyone. We still could do that now. It’s long past time.

🧵 The racist traitor, Robert Edward Lee, who was totally owned by Ely Parker at Appomattox, should have spent the rest of his life in prison & was an utterly horrible human being. We would know this if we observed Union Day as a federal holiday & had finished Reconstruction like a serious country.

And yes, this is happening because of House Democrats, Republicans did not do it to themselves and would not be halting if Dems were not using amendments this way
