I don’t have a whole lot of advice for people younger than me but the earlier in life you stop worrying about what other people will think and just wholeheartedly enjoy the stuff you like the happier you’ll be
One thing people kind of tell you, but not really, about middle age:

One day you'll be like "oh [thing] looks fun but people will think I'm a loser" about a thing

And then you'll say. Wait a second.

yeah part of why I’m not a fan of the “oh we’re doomed because Dems will never change” attitude is because we literally just saw a major political party taken over and remade from the inside

it was the Republican one
I don't think people have ever hated the Democratic party's values, they've just hated the people who rise to the top of the Democratic pile.

In this the Republicans were pretty far ahead of us with getting Trump and his goons to replace the much-maligned Neocons. Jeb Bush is/was their Schumer.

primaries of sitting senators basically don’t happen in this country, especially on the Dem side

but these are unprecedented times and, well, I’m not counting them out

certainly in open primaries I’d expect more fighting-oriented leftist candidates to have a much better shot than people think

this is about where I’m at

the level of incandescent rage at Dem leadership is as high as I’ve ever seen and it’s not the rage of a population that is ready to go “well, I wanted to fight Trump but Schumer sucks so I guess fascism it is”

but primaries are going to start looking a lot different
I think voters at large will very likely have trouble remembering details of chuck schumer selling out the aca by nov 2026. also I think in the next three months you're gonna see a lot of unlikely folks stopping by the dsa table at various no kings events

what if the firehose of fascist shit isn't wiping out the memory of the electorate? what if it's just hitting different things? and idk it seems like a persisting problem to me that dems aren't in lockstep with and fully tied to no kings, possibly the biggest social movement in american history

Fox News takes better care of their “news” division than this! Murdoch knows what he’s doing! Bari has no business running a major network

this is another data point for “Bari will run this place into the ground in embarrassing fashion”

yes, obviously, her turning CBS into a propaganda rag is terrible, but the main thing this is going to do is lead to humiliating retractions and lawsuits and endless high profile bungling
“I’ve been hearing that standards will be eliminated or severely cut back. Bari has told people that she wants to get rid of standards and is shocked that they have so much power. She also asked openly, ‘What’s the point of standards?’” one CBS source said.

I think most people think "standards" means like whether the journalism is good or bad, but in fact it actually means "preventing CBS from getting sued out of existence." I wish her well in this bold new endeavor!
