Jesus. Our country was run better when we had a 90% progressive tax rate. We already know what works, this is Harris level of obstructionism.

There are things we can compromise on but because you have drank 45 years of right-wing ideology doesn’t mean you’re being sensible.

I don't think in most of our politics there is a real centrism these days - there's thing posing as centrism. But, to me centrism is, "Hey, instead of a 10% tax on the rich or a 95% tax on the rich, how about we look at what is needed to balance the budget and set tax rates based on actual math?"...

No, it’s because our representatives don’t represent us. Obama never fought for it. Stop trying to rewrite history. FDR passed 15 major pieces of legislation in his first 100 days. If Obama had legislative juice he could’ve done so much more for the American people. But he didn’t care about that.

I am satisfied that my DSA endorsed her. Of course now I need to feel healthy enough to go canvassing for her. I type this as I listen to my child cough.

The weather change always makes me a little under the weather and the October rains just started.

Today is Brendan’s birthday and the best way to celebrate is to buy his band’s excellent two EPs.

I have serious doubts. But let’s see if Israel holds up their end of the bargain.

Once Israel confirms all 20 living captives in Israeli territory, it says it will start releasing Palestinian prisoners.

Are you okay? You certainly act like someone on Twitter. I never accused you of making a racist joke. So why are you keeping this up?

If that’s who you claim to be, then don’t praise transphobes. If you want to be in the animal lane, then stay in that lane.

Are you serious? Log off, bro, and do something productive. Your analysis is terrible.

With Bernie’s message discipline, much like Mamdani’s, his polling numbers would likely go up because his ideas are popular. We’re seeing that in NYC.

Please read the polling. Your speculation doesn't work based on what the polls said. There is no information on Webb or O'Malley I could find, but we do know that Bernie Sanders could've won. Same with 2020. www.realclearpolling.com/polls/presid...
