incredible that these guys have a massive hard on for a country that, if it were a state, would rank behind kansas in terms of wealth and which would be a total backwater if it weren’t economically integrated with more functional countries

ryan is right. people HATE hearing this. but it is just a matter of simple incentives. if you want a more representative legislature — and if you want a legislature more resistant to corruption — then you need to jack up the salaries. serving as mayor of NYC should net you a cool 500K *at least*
people hate hearing this but it's 100% true, creating a huge pay gap between political leaders, their staffs, and other elites is a recipe for corruption. of course the flip side of that is taxes on the rich should be jacked way the hell up
The Mayor of New York only makes $260k. I bet there are police that make more than that in NY with overtime.
We need to pay elected leaders more money and stop pretending it's some sort of calling. They're managing hundreds of billions of dollars in investments and millions of people's lives.

After Zohran wins by double-digits, Abigail Spanberger wins by 4, and Mikie Sherrill wins by 1, I’m mentally preparing myself for a dozen headlines saying “Why Sherrill & Spanberger are the REAL future of the Democratic Party”

I think the reason this resonated so much is because food delivery apps are the primary way American youth feeds itself.
boy is that true. in 2022-3, burrito taxis going up got about ten thousand times more attention online than the fact that it was the best labor market for low income workers in like 60 years

the thing everyone is going to have to accept is that the post-trump period, whenever it comes, will not and cannot be a project of national unity, it must be a project of partisan project of renewal, in the same way that reconstruction and the new deal were partisan projects of renewal.
