in other words I think "5-10 more years of very close elections, congressional stalemate, increasingly escalated rhetoric, and growing executive power" is more likely than "Dems in 2029 do a Second Reconstruction"

completely!! it was Sinema and Manchin's fault as much as Biden's. but not having the votes in the Senate is exactly what i'm worried about. are we on track to have the votes in the Senate to do all of this in 2029? doesn't seem like it to me.

Totally disagree!! We needed dramatic steps - a more aggressive AG to prosecute Trump's crimes, filibuster reform followed by gerrymandering ban, adding DC as a state, etc etc - and we didn't get them

I think you are getting at the heart of the actual questions here, but I think the story is not so helpful in that you have to really really dig to get at these questions

I do think CHAZ is way underanalyzed (I would LOVE to read a deeply researched book about what actually happened there) but this tweet made literally laugh out loud, well played

I just worry that it's 2018 again! we may beat Trump in 2026 and 2028, but are we actually on a path to consolidate multiracial democracy, or are we just going to do the Biden admin again

Turns out a pandemic followed by a violent mob storming Congress was not a sufficient rupture, so I'm not really clear on what would suffice. Something bad probably

that might be right. but i also think there are climate impacts serious enough and feedback loops terrifying enough (e.g. imagine if we get to the place where 50% of the Amazon is burning in a single year) to change that calculus in a hurry.

we should put the sulfur dioxide that the ships would have put into the atmosphere at low elevations into the atmosphere at high elevations (where it can't hurt people but would cool the planet)

Thank you. Seems nuts to me to compare a presidential year electorate to an off year gubernatorial electorate and try to draw conclusions from that

THANK YOU. Yes this is a major question and it's totally unaddressed. An off year gubernatorial and a presidential year are totally different electorates
