I'm reminded of the James Baldwin quote:
"I love America more than any other country in the world and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually"
Some peoples love of country is based in nostalgia for the past. Mine is faith in the future.

My radical political belief for 2026 is that it’s a total coincidence that this is all being drummed up after the DNC decided to run a very, very old centrist against a charismatic, working-class populist. Totally coincidental. Totally. 🙄

This rag is a jobs program for connected elites from (mostly) Ivy League schools. It’s an echo chamber for people who still think American political culture is somewhere in the mid-20th century where nobody noticed how disconnected the reporting and opinion pieces are.
