A U.S. president cannot be held accountable. Therefore, a U.S. president must never make a policy decision.

Unfortunately, most of my political beliefs come from a deep-seeded desire for humanity to thrive and people to be allowed to exist that I primarily inherited from a seemingly popular deity I no longer believe in

at some point we're gonna have to have a real conversation about why we're still paying federal taxes to a regime that isn't using them to help anyone, but instead is using them to brutalize us

The people of New York City elected a candidate who is likeable and campaigned on a platform of improving their lives. This is very confusing to me, a democratic strategist genius.
