There should be public dialogue from Dem leaders about what the medium-long term political strategy against Trumpism is. They don't want impeachment (not enough votes) so what can a Dem congress do that's more effective? Is there a philosophy other than "Vote for us and hope something good happens?"

Sometimes all you can do is make the world 0.0000000000001% less awful by being a good person and it feels very meaningless but it’s also the only thing that really matters

Amazing to live in a country where every day you can watch Republicans gin up issue salience out of nothing but attitude and 4chan posts and a sizeable chunk of people think Democrats' only power is to vote yes or no on bills placed in front of them

"what do you expect dems, who have NO POWER, to do???" and then they do this 8 times a month
On the first day back following the kidnapping of Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro & first lady Cilia Flores, 6 Senate Democrats vote yea to confirm Keith Bass as an Assistant Secretary of Defense by a vote of 50-35.

Reminder that almost a quarter century ago, Schumer voted for the Hague Invasion Act, declaring that the US would militarily invade the Hague were it ever to be prosecuted by ICC for war crimes.
Biden did too, it was an overwhelmingly bipartisan agreement to be unaccountable to international law.

Look at how many names on this list are *still in power*, still kicking around. They weren't exactly young then, but now a lot of them are much much richer.

"What do you want the Dems to DO exactly?" is kicked dog behavior. Elected officials are not meant to do insider trading and occasionally give a 4/10 speech about civility. They are an expression of the values of those they represent, you're damn right I expect up to and including physical action.

It's especially egregious to start another fucking war over oil when other nations like China, India and the EU have been actively, and successfully, phasing out fossil fuels. Yes. America depends on gas-powered cars, its ingrained in our culture, but we haven't even made a real effort to switch.

Zohran's basic linguistic competence and commitment to a non-neoliberal economic platform makes Democratic Party leadership look so incredibly bad. And they hate him for it.

Every Centrist two days ago: *pushes up glasses* Actually the extremely handsome and popular guy cannot possibly defeat the hated sex criminal. It's impossible because in America people do not like it when you help them. If you don't believe this, you're not a serious thinker.

This is the context for a not insignificant amount of leftist resentment toward No Kings. When people protested for Palestine, it felt like liberals said nothing while college administrators and Democratic city councils sent in the cops. But we're pressured to immediately forgive them

This is such a thorough take down of Bari Weiss and the vapid shill she is for oligarch billionaires. He especially shreds the Free Press over it's coverage of trans issues and the so called whistleblower Jamie Reed.

Hopefully the whole Bari Weiss thing and Ezra Klein thing starts waking people up to the fact that corporate media is mostly populated with mediocre people who have made millions and gained unbelievable influence because they threaten nothing and tell wealthy people exactly what they want to hear.
