Fundraising and writing books about how they’re such fucking losers.
Democrats don't want to be an opposition party, and they don't want to be a governing party.
So what is the point of the party?

Maybe Don’t Talk to the New York Times About Zohran Mamdani
It’s remarkable, the people you’ll hear from. Teach for even a little while at an expensive institution—the term they tend to prefer is “elite”—and odds are that eventually someone who was a studen…

it is pretty funny to look back over all the posts people made -- I made some too, I am not above this -- about why Mikie Sherrill was so bad and Abby Spanberger was different

I had thought most of my naive idealism had been stomped out of me by now, but it’s amazing to me that this level of public animosity could be directed by Democratic leadership toward a sweet and personable young candidate of their own party seemingly exclusively because of his background.
Q: It's election day in NYC. Did you vote for Mamdani or Cuomo?
Schumer: "Look, I voted, and I look forward to working with the next mayor to help NYC."

I don't watch baseball but that was the stupidest thing I've ever seen in sports. Jogging into the "fight" where you stand around absently? That is the funniest thing

practically a requirement for this administration to be a sex pest
"30-year-old conservative lawyer and activist who is Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel, which deals with federal employee whistleblower complaints and discrimination" cancelled his colleague's hotel room so she would be forced to stay with him.

This is so so awful. He left four children (all Americans, not that it should matter) and a grieving wife (also an American, not that it should matter)
Miguel Ángel García-Hernández, a house painter and father of four from Mexico who was critically injured by a sniper at an ICE facility in Dallas, has died, the second fatality of the shooting, according to Latino civil rights leaders representing his family.
Second Victim of Dallas ICE Shooting Dies
A house painter who had been in the United States for two decades had been critically injured in Dallas by a gunman who the government said was aiming at federal law enforcement officers.

Also, it's condescending to pretend that the adults you are in conversation with are children who can't handle hard truths
Honestly think the only way to solve the condescension problem is to stop insisting that we have one. It's very obvious why your opponent would call you condescending for being smart and right; stand up for yourself!
Klein is also obsessed with solving Democrats’ “condescension problem” but it’s not condescending to talk about how your political opponents are wrong! That’s kind of how it works.

of all the dumb shit that sucks these days, the dumbest and pettiest shit that sucks is the way people fetishize debate. i would like to revert to the old roughly agreed-upon cultural understanding that debate club is for boring friendless nerds

I absolutely loathe this trend. Bunch of people holding up selfie-mode on their cell phones. Ooo, sooo cooool
I think fans should storm the field in every sport after every win
Fans are storming the field so frequently in college football that it’s almost meaningless now. Wake Forest’s students are currently massing in the end zone in anticipation of a win over Georgia Tech. This is neither a rivalry game nor a historic upset.

Start thinking about your fiber intake and your plan to incorporate regular weight training now. 30-40 are critical years for building a strong base of health that doesn't become different until things start falling apart around 40
people over 30 quote this with some life advice for the rest of us?
