why didn't you care when it counted currentaffairs.org/news/2023/06/w…

@MTJakeEaton @mtfreepress 🐍

@mtfreepress So weird that the totally unbiased @mtfreepress failed to mention the Judge is a former Democrat legislator.

A state district court judge in Helena has temporarily barred the state from enforcing several policies that restrict how transgender Montanans can change their birth certificates and driver's licenses. #mtnews buff.ly/3BKwTMZ

Starting a list with all the suggestions here boxd.it/B9PMW

Drop the best documentary that you’ve seen. One that blew your mind and you couldn’t stop thinking about for weeks. I want something that will break my brain.

@Uraume28466 @SirCumference98 @BladeoftheS Incredibly well at doing what?

@SirCumference98 @BladeoftheS It doesn’t. It has to do with reserve banks and corruption. Capitalism works incredibly well with hard money. If we debase our money, and constantly cheat the system, of course it’s rigged to keep the rich rich. But if they aren’t able to print, they can’t do this

@cbatty @davidsirota Because the CFPB has the capacity to punish corporations for wrongdoing. They don’t like that.

@davidsirota Uh, why?

@RealRayEpps @briebriejoy The same way every other wealthy country does. Don’t let the insurance propaganda get you twisted up.

@briebriejoy Universal healthcare sounds great in theory but How are we going to pay for it?

Dentistry is crazy bc you crack a tooth on a chicken sandwich in Copenhagen and next thing you know you have to give them $10,000. Anyway. Dental care is healthcare and healthcare is a human right.

Well put rollingstone.com/politics/polit…

@MillieOfferman @katewillett How do you think incremental changes will achieve anything at all?

@ApeZep @katewillett Please spell out how the fast progress you want can realistically happen. Make your case, I'm listening.

AOC polls around 4% rn against other potentially Democratic primary candidates which isn’t great bc she has huge name recognition. She could change that by running an anti establishment Bernie ‘16 style campaign but she’s likely too conciliatory to power to do that.

@MillieOfferman @katewillett Ummm… politicians stick to their principles and campaign on popular policies, then govern on those policies, people like those policies, and elect more politicians who campaign and eventually govern on those policies. Magic!

@MillieOfferman @katewillett “Ooh look at me I’m so ADULT. Demanding progress and having principles are so CHILDISH!” Damn. If you can’t see that slow, compromising progress is a wholly inadequate response to the crises at hand, well, maybe you’re the naive one…

@katewillett AOC is a realist who, once she got into power, listened & learned and saw that the only way to achieve progress is slowly & through compromise. The system is built this way. I respect her for not clinging to youthful naivety.

@mattyglesias Hahaha

@mattyglesias I don’t think you are accounting for the lag-time that brand fatigue requires. As humans we are often unwilling to accept that we have been duped, and it takes repeated lessons over years for reality (e.g., that Dem rhetoric is mostly empty) to sink in. But we’re getting there…

@dare_l @NathanJRobinson You got me :)

@ApeZep @NathanJRobinson Dear Father of Nations, this is the baby brain profile: Lawyer, geek, scientist, author, actor, engineer, astronaut, dictator, ninja, chef, market analyst, quality control superintendent, father of nations. 🤣

in this clip, Harris's advisor says that Harris knew she had to put distance between herself and Biden in order to win, but decided against it because "vice presidents never break with their presidents." In other words, she chose DC norms over winning.

@dare_l @NathanJRobinson Lolololol. This is the baby brain answer

@NathanJRobinson Oh, come on. Kamala lost because of racists and sexists. That is the post-mortem. Period. Stop making other crap up.

@UncleScottiepoo @katewillett It was a toxic disaster that required mass evacuation. What more do you need? How many people died of lead poisoning in Flint? Your metric is stupid.

@katewillett Exactly to how many people died in this deadly train derailment, Kate?

Idk seems to me that those who insist that the state committing a genocide and the lobby spending millions to defend that state are both synonymous with Jewish people… are doing far more to normalize antisemitism than those of us criticizing those entities for their actions

@jonfavs A very stupid read

A must-read for Democrats: nytimes.com/2024/11/16/opi…

Could not agree more with @AJentleson here: “In politics, winning elections is the moral imperative. You go into this business to change people’s lives for the better. That means changing policy, and to change policy you have to win. Those who would rather lose elections so that they can feel better about themselves leave the real suffering to the people they claim to fight for. No one wins when we lose. It is time to start winning again.”

@jonfavs I thought that was a very stupid article. Still no actual vision for the future except it will be more poll tested? Baby brain nonsense
