Democracy lover. Opinionated jerk. Aspiring snark raconteur. Proud ectomorph. Partisan to a fault. Once an ink-stained wretch, now retired. Hate what’s happened to the Fourth Estate. History informs the future, so let’s learn from it.

I’m so you know, I’ve voted Democratic in every election since 1976. Volunteering in the ‘92 campaign was the most fun I’ve ever had in politics. But I don’t even know what the party stands for anymore.

Cope.

Why did our side lose the popular vote for only the second time since Poppy Fucking Bush in 1988? The ticket didn’t speak to what the disaffected wanted to hear from them.

Admit it, Walz was a horrible choice. And it’s hard to GOTV if voters don’t feel the connection.

Cope, sport.

She lost the popular vote, sport. Tell yourself all that if it makes you feel better.

I think what you’re saying is, The Democratic ticket never proved itself inspiring enough to catch fire with the electorate and drive people to the polls. I agree.

Isn’t the solution the formation of a middle-of-the-road party committed to common-sense solutions based more on technocratic change than ideology? For those who feel unwelcome in the two parties? And who recognize the dangers of ignoring the federal debt because there’s no upside to addressing it?

Powerful, grubby men using their connections to cover their abuse of a trafficked teenage girl.

After all the revelations, it's never "not" shocking.

Forty years ago, Macklowe sent demolition teams in to wreck a stretch of single-room occupancy hotels on a block in the West 40s. Didn’t bother worrying about the gas mains. Could’ve been a disaster. Then built the luxury Hotel Macklowe nearby. Psychopathy’s no disqualification in NYC real estate.
