The thing about San Francisco is that most successful progressive supervisors are all “worked for a union, connected to community, deeply knowledgeable about how government works, extremely burned out” and the conservatives are all “I woke up here one day and was given $20M to be a puppet in office”

Probably for the best. Can you imagine their gorgeous, urbane, statuesque children plowing through the Kennedy White House like wolves through a chicken coop? Soviets would've beat us to the moon.

Worth noting, too, that Debs’ sedition conviction was a bipartisan enterprise of Democrat and Republican cooperation. Historical unity, ruling classes, etc. etc. etc.

When you talk about poverty in the US, some wag inevitably brings up that the US is, by global standards, a wealthy country.
Is that supposed to be a comfort to people who can't afford insulin? People who debate which utility bill they'll pay this month? People drinking water suffused with lead?
