For folks who remember the concept of "selling out", I wrote this a few years ago so you can explain it to younger people who are not familiar with what the idea meant within culture. www.anildash.com/2023/04/18/w... It's hard to explain why someone would not license their song for a commercial.

I think tonight shows why “moderate to win elections” is a real risk
the big divide in the Dem caucus, as many have noted, has been less moderate vs progressive than fight versus don’t fight
but it’s not a coincidence that basically everyone in the “don’t fight” camp is a moderate

Once they were in the shutdown though they could have made it about anything. Put clips of ICE abducting children on endless loop and say “do we keep funding a govt that does *that*?” Then you might get federal workers clamoring not for concessions but a strike.
Again, requires believing in things.

This was a doomed exercise from the outset. They picked a fight to give the GOP something they thought they would want anyway, and have now been embarrassed into capitulating on even that. Beyond pathetic.

people are wondering why they caved right after the election. I think it's pretty straightforward. they didn't want to cave before the election because they worried it would kill momentum. they figure this is the moment since elections are as far away as they can get. 1

It's so funny how millionaires think threatening to leave a place matters to everyday people. Their wealth doesn't trickle down. They pay tax experts to avoid contributing their fair share to public coffers. Lol, yeah leave, we don't fucking want you here or anywhere for that matter.
