First Elon Musk at Twitter, now Bari Weiss at CBS. What’s next, finding out others who loudly proclaimed themselves free speech champions never valued free speech at all, and were always doing “speech I like must be widely distributed and cannot be criticized, speech I don’t like must be censored”?

So the thing that was definitely going to happen even with the shutdown, happened? The only thing that is surprising here is that people believe that extending the shutdown was going to avoid this.

Getting mad at Mark Cuban for these extremely reasonable questions shows just how broken people's brains are around socialized medicine.
For all Universal HC/Single Payer/M4A advocates.
What do the biggest, expensive hospital chains do. Do they opt out and only serve the rich ?
Who in the USA gov runs the program?
R U ok with having to see a primary care doc before you can see a specialist ?

- R's just passed NDAA that denies Hegseth $$ until he releases boat strike video
- 20 R's just joined Dems to block Trump's Executive Order on fed labor rights

Everything you think repubs did from the minority they actually did from the majority. You need to figure this out first before you wade into politics

You seem to have ignored the part of my thread where I briefly addressed exactly this, so let me elaborate on that part:
Your upbringing in a hypercapitalist society has indoctrinated you into viewing elections through a fraudulent consumerist lens.

No. They’ve been starved by the lack of choices, purchased and put forward by capitalists. Like you said, in the US 2-party system there is a choice between “evil” and “less evil”. The people complaining are trying to make the “less evil” option be as good as it can be. When “less evil” loses, 1/2

Another thing you don't need to worry about unless someone kills the filibuster.
BREAKING: In a 20-19 vote, Republicans on the House Oversight Committee advance a blatantly unconstitutional bill requiring the census to include a citizenship question starting in 2030, and limit the congressional seat count to just citizens.

New York isn't the only Northern state.
In fact, Trump won the majority of states bordering Canada and the Great Lakes. Which proves the larger point that Northern whites are racist conservatives.

So Trump won New York? I mean that’s the ultimate rebuttal to the point you are making. I know there are conservative and racist parts of New York. But he lost the state fairly handily and he moved permanently to Florida. Which proves the larger point that Southern whites are racist conservatives.

Folks, no party or faction that has triggered a shutdown has ever gotten its demands met in a shutdown. That was always the risk going in. People (like me) were saying you were going to have to deal with eventual disappointment going in.
If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?

I think there is also something to be said about having the correct progressive/left resume, and then running as a normie Dem who’s focused on local issues. Some might say that’s “moderating” I would say it’s running a campaign according to facts on the ground.

A pattern is developing where everyone who fights back against a Trump attack inevitably wins with their reputation much better than before, and everyone who caves to him looks like shit and has Trump coming back for more a month later.

This is key. The diminishment of SCOTUS will become a sociological fact before it becomes codified in law. That process is now very well underway.

I definitely think this is true, but I also think a lot of voters would only see Democrats as strong if they were actually able to stop the bad things from happening, not simply delay them. People say they want fighting, but what they really want is victory.
“When you look at the factors weighing down Democrats, it’s not crime or trans rights or wokeness. It’s the deep-seated belief among independents and Democratic voters that Democrats are weak and feckless.”
The Dem Senate leadership's unbelievable negotiating position is that they will give Trump everything he wants except that they demand: an extension of Obamacare subsidies so that they expire right after the midterms, not before. This sounds like political malpractice on several levels.

I know it's illegal on here to notice that our leaders are actually fighting back in the job we actually elected them to do, but here's the Wall Street Journal bitching about Schumer's "historic" delaying tactics that have left almost 90% of Trump appointee slots empty.

And I gotta say, every time I see someone talking about “earning my vote” I wonder if that person understands just how loudly they are advertising that they are fundamentally just a fuckin’ sheep that needs a shepherd to lead them to doing the right thing rather than being able to do it themselves.

The correct answer when you hear someone else say Do Something should be "you fucking first".
1) it would shut a lot of people up
2) it would maybe actually result in some leadership being taken outside of elected representatives.

A-fuckin'-men on all of this.
We all have a *civic duty* to *each other* to not allow the fascists to attain positions of power.
Once you turn voting into your own game of purity and fully embraced the consumerist mindset, well, the fascists have gotten the perfect useful idiot they wanted.
