We wanted them to have healthcare and a high paying job and a planet to live on and freedom. They want us to suffer. The parties are not the same.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

A lot of Dem incumbents are going to be confused and upset to find their strongest challenger next primary is "anyone but you."

I hope this shakes out to be more progressive, but it doesn't have to. Dem voters will just want anyone who doesn't seem as useless as the potatoes currently in the seats.
the disconnect between elected Dems (business as usual) and the base (boiling mad) is about as big as I've ever seen it

I don't know how this eventually gets resolved but it's not a sustainable equilibrium

Boy, these last eight days feel like a good reminder why democracies generally avoid letting people who attempt a coup come back to power….

Ok sure, eggs are more expensive and inflation isn’t lowering, but at least they cut the funding for childhood cancer research, stopped monitoring Bird flu, shutdown Medicaid, stripped hungry kids of their school lunches and took hot meals away from seniors

a lot of people, myself included, feel extraordinarily helpless as we watch democracy crumble around us—but one of the very few things we *do* have control over is our spending. just like we abandoned meta and x, we have to abandon stores that support 45/47.

trump was asked why he pardoned January 6th attackers who committed violence against cops, and he said they'd already spent years in jail and "murderers don't even go to jail in this country."

Sometimes, that's true.
