The throughline of this attempt at revising neoliberalism’s fundamental fatal flaws isn’t in reaching conclusions that would actually work like “huh maybe civic institutions actually do matter at least much as economic ones”, it’s “maybe the fascists do make *some* good points about the browns”

Trump can whip the Repubs in Congress into shape because he can mobilize his base to primary anyone he doesn’t like.

FPTP can stop one-party control of Congress if politics is regional. A PR system can be more suited to limiting Presidential control over Congress nowadays when politics is national.

My working theory is now that she tried to seduce Joe Biden and he politely turned her down.

Anyway those inhibitions are dropping and he's going to assault one of his government blondes in the Oval by the time this is up, everyone gets that right

They probably knew or could know, but I’d like to believe this was silent protest.

I had it once. Never again.

I’m sorry, but I don’t get the appeal of cooking marinara sauce on top of the cheese.

It hurts to wake up and remember that these are the people you’ll be dealing with in your politics for the foreseeable future. Like, I still have faith in America and believe this country can do a lot of good. It’s just exhausting to deal with everything now while keeping the faith.

In all seriousness, it might be. Idk as long as it isn’t Chicago style. I just haven’t seen anywhere that cooks it like that…

I haven’t had gourmet pizza and (frankly) I find the concept a tad spiritually offensive. Like it crashes against the pizza spirit…

Like, get off your high horse. Pizza is for the people. It is (mostly) cheap. It is democratic. It is delicious. It is something for the common folk and the big shots.

New York pizza is goated imo. At this point, any other pizza just pales in comparison to that. Nothing else can ever be good to me. I have seen the light.

I love pizza (particularly a specific type of ginormous and greasy cheese slice I find at some of my local pizza places). I don’t get people who prefer fast-food pizza to that.
