i am sorry but redefining “providing a democracy invaded by its fascist neighbor the means to defend itself” as being neoconservative “blood mongers” is absolutely fucking twisted
"A lot of left intellectuals clearly find YIMBYs annoying because the idea of a capitalist solution to a major problem annoys them. But working people don’t need a principled debate...they need higher material living standards."
This is the core issue I have with anti-abundance
Huh. At my law school they didn’t teach us about the “Voters Decide Whether the Cases Against a Criminal Defendant Were Political and Calculated to Stop Him from Being Elected” clause of the constitution. I wonder why!!
Ok, this is the sort of thing that makes me have to grab onto a wall nearby to steady myself. I love this sort of thing. Amazing. That's 3,300 years ago folks.
Joe Manchin gets a lot of shit for ruining Joe Biden's agenda, but in my opinion the more realistic way of looking at it is that he singlehandedly saved it by being the only Democrat on Earth who could win an R+42 state and give Biden a Senate majority.
This is a very strange analysis. Much of the country swung R+5. Battleground states swung R+2. If Liz Cheney events yielded local R+0, that’s one of Harris’s best showings. If that’d applied more widely she’d have won.

White people don’t have community leaders to tell them not to vote like idiots—not anymore. Churches and other local civic organizations used to do that. Unions used to do that. Nonpartisan network news used to do that. No more!
I am once again watching Dems foolishly intellectualize this election loss. Harris lost because a handful of morons who happen to live in electorally significant states don’t remember what happened 4 years ago and don’t understand what’s happening now. That’s it.
This voting group is predominately white only because nonwhite voters tend to belong to small, tightly knit groups for whom political power is still relatively new and, therefore, prized. They exist in a culture that appreciates the importance of not voting like a moron.
