Just...when you fail at your quixotic goal...I hope you don't, but you might...VOTE for the guy most likely to beat the fascist. Don't stay home, or protest vote for the socialist, or the anarchist, or whatever. Vote for the Dem, whoever they are.

beginning my quixotic and privileged campaign to get publishers to pay a per diem rather than asking their touring authors to carry a couple thousand dollars in credit debt and hoard paper receipts, like rats lining their nests for winter 🙏

Hastie talking like a Trot isn't entirely surprising. The idea that the country will rise up to support your quixotic crusade is a comforting one, because it means you have to do minimal work to make it happen.
Andrew Hastie wants to win government then force a double dissolution election to repeal the Climate Change Act.
But how can they ever win government if they abandon net zero, which is the bare minimum for winning back metro seats?

Since he learned that the FBI was looking into his campaign’s ties to Russia, Trump has sought to discredit the investigation, impugn the individuals behind it, and insist that the whole thing was not just a “witch hunt,” but “the single greatest witch hunt of a politician in American history!”

Yet another investigation into the investigation brings Trump/Russia, and MAGA's "Grand Conspiracy" counter-narrative, back into the spotlight.

While I dislike the caving of the Democrats, I don't think that the Republicans were going to ever vote for the ACA subsidies unless the Healthcare Corporations pressured them to. The shutdown was a quixotic adventure that accomplished very little and cost a lot.

More than anything, it gave me hope that perhaps my quixotic dream of making the world better with theology is possible. And maybe I'll be looked down on as a crackpot by other academics, and that's their loss. Theology still matters in this world.

Wow! It's getting ever more quixotic!
So, that whizz kid Marshall now proposes to pull all those out of healthcare who wouldn't have gotten sick anyway, and use the saving from that clever move "to make healthcare truly affordable"???
Dr shitbrain!

My wife and I pay for life insurance even though we have never died. I pay for fire insurance even though my house has never burned down. That's not because we want to throw money at insurance companies. It's because THAT'S HOW INSURANCE WORKS.

Maybe I'm tilting at windmills (a certain writing world troll did once call me a "Quixotic poseur"), but I like to think the fight to make people understand the toxicity on social media is negative and unhealthy is a fight worth fighting.

We’ll see if that’s what comes out. Personally I think this makes him look incredibly weak and unable to control his caucus, so I have my doubts.
Then again I think this whole thing was a quixotic and pyrrhic waste of time, so 🤷♂️

I do think a lot more people have woken up to the fact that the Republicans only represent the top 10 percent economically originally and they don't do even that very well because of their quixotic behavior and chaotic government application of tariffs and other government controls. Vote blue!

The little cherry on top of the federal Dems ineptness is learning that certain corners of the DFL can’t stop/won’t stop quixotic primary runs at Ilhan. An ongoing titanic waste of money and time.

Hmm, might you be an ally in the fight to eradicate the forces that pronounce "quixotic" as "quick-saw-tic"? And yes, it would be a genocide, but these people are history's greatest monsters.
