@Tyler_A_Harper @IVMiles Curious where is Bernie in this argument? Wouldn't the analysis suggest he should have done better in the primaries?

[Avram Alpert @avramalpert]

@wolraich @CrispinSartwell agreed. i voted for harris here in pa because, as atrocious and unforgivable as it is, the other path is certainly worse, and the "strategic" arguments for stronger opposition under trump just don't hold water.

@ETemelkuran Like Baldwin in the fire next time-- "I know that people can be better than they are. We are capable of bearing a great burden, once we discover that the burden is reality and arrive where reality is."

@corinneblalock 2016 ran right and lost. 2020 ran a little left and won. So obviously you repeat the losing strategy 🤷‍♂️

@annenortonnow @JonathanACBrown i find this so hard to respond to, because i totally understand. but i feel like a) i'm still paying my taxes, so much greater complicity, and b) its a real trolley problem--something unspeakable is happening, and my only choice appears to be limiting how awful it gets.

@BigMeanInternet @hotdamhistorian that's as good an argument as i've heard for abstention, but it's a massive risk & highly conjectural bc we simply dont know & history isnt clear--a lot of left movement came under obama (occupy, bernie as candidate), and more push back on israel than ever before, under biden.

@GavinNewsom @JoeBiden The job of elected officials is to have the backs of the people they represent, not the other way around.

@leifweatherby @JeffreyKirkwood Hirschman the passions and the interests is good background
