Possiblity of the concept of a plan: Yes. It's just "below the leadership level"...so 🤷‍♂️

It's a good line, but it's also not true.

Many of people that think this also tend to be moderate to moderate-ish, often lower information voters who like to performatively rant against both parties. I don't think they'll repent. Perhaps others will.

Not quite. They'd be fine with it if they approved of his actions.

Sure. That said neither Bernie/squad actually facing the task of governing a major city or leading the minority in Congress. We can't test it, but I submit they'd less popular among socialists if they were.

Also: I didn't mean the criticism is illegitimate, just that it's predictable and amusing.

For better and for worse Bernie and the squad are still wildly popular among socialists, literally the only reason anyone pretends otherwise is that some socialists occasionally criticize them from the left, something that is evidently completely illegitimate in American politics

We all know that him acting at least quasi-moderate a likely outcome, another one being that his support collapses.

You say "principles", I say melancholy, nostalgia, or general lack of sense
But, yes his natural allies will make things harder for him one way or another. Lol 😂

These guys really think that "socialists have principles and don't just reflexively defend politicians" is some kind of brutal own

Ok, but you and your press team then failed to get Tony Danza and other additional Who's the Boss cast to also retweet? Huge missed opportunity. I'd consider firing your PR team, if we're you. Malpractice.

Maybe...I don't think so unless more of the old GOP bulls like Cornyn, Thune etc get replaced by MAGA. They'd see it as too dangerous.

I was going to post this at you.

So your take is that an affected employee could sue and would likely win? Is there anything here other than desperate trolling?
bleerggg.bsky.social
I used to think that but I'm not so sure any more.

There's a definite conservative legal movement faction that cares way more about gay marriage than taxes.

Maybe it's only a few guys in the corner. Their numbers may be small. But their influence seems to be growing. You'd know better than me.

"answer the question you wish you were asked, not the question you were asked" Wurman has done his DC media training

It's only about book sales, Id wager. This topic is an old standard, especially when a scientist is involved in the book. It's only about getting sales

He wouldn't condone lawlessness he doesn't like

Wurman thinks it's fun to pal around with them, like when he took his little all expense paid trip to Hungary
bleerggg.bsky.social
Nope. Even by the standards of politicans--quite loose!--I can't recall anyone this desperate to be publicly validated or with thinner skin or quicker to the insult. Or quicker to change core beliefs for ambition's sake.

Yes, although the media treatment of those kind of "I declare this unconstitutional" statements will be ridiculous. Every elected Dem is going to be made to answer questions about it, should say, a random house member make such a call.

Nice John Warner pic. I prefer Mark Warner.

Uhhh, you sure about that? It looks like a small horse to me

Also, possibly so out of practice in writing non-academic, they won't even try...lol
