a regular bugbear of mine - when something goes over budget on costs by 50% it's the end of the world, but you can underestimate the benefits massively and people treat it like a success story. Crossrail was arguably built 20 years too late because of these errors
"TfL’s analysis shows that within a km of an Elizabeth line station in London, the number of new houses is 8-14% higher, and nearly 400,000 jobs have been created since 2015."
A smashing success: it's carried half a billion passengers since opening in 2022.

the purpose of the democratic party is to take up all the institutional space for opposing fascism, and steadfastly refuse to do so.

I want to make it clear that Biden’s expansion of the detention facilities in the U.S., as well as Obamas bullshit with Guantanamo, made this possible. When you see so many people yelling that liberal policy leads to fascism, this is what we mean.
Trump: Today I'm also signing an executive order to instruct the departments of defense and homeland security to begin preparing the 30,000 person migrant facility at Guantanamo Bay

If your question begins with "Why aren't the democrats" or "Why haven't the democrats" or "Why don't the democrats" the answer is they are actively complicit in the horrors and their opposition to republicans is purely theatrical. they are owned by the same people and have been for at least 40 years

Doing Nazi shit ironically is still just doing Nazi shit. This is honestly a silly distinction and only necessary when you start with the conclusion that he can’t hold those beliefs instead of seeing the salute as another expression of his beliefs, along with everything else he has been open about.
