To see plainly and remain kind. Attorney.

I practice making good faith arguments from other people’s p.o.v., including on topics like abortion, religion, and politics.

That doesn’t make me better than anyone, but I feel lonely in it sometimes, and I think it’s a worthy goal. ✌️

@JerusalemDemsas @mattyglesias The emphasis on hypocrisy rather than on the merits of a particular argument has been terrible for our ability to solve problems in this country.

[J Dub @okmanslowdown]

@pegobry_en It’s not self-evidently absurd. Extrapolating how many future deaths are likely from data reflecting current deaths and past deaths is a legitimate way of figuring mass casualties. Spreadsheets are useful when you’re dealing with this sort of information.

@HistoryBoomer (Minion sheep token word) is fantastic 👏👏👏🥳

[J Dub @okmanslowdown]

@BrazilDahl @WinningintheUSA Prison is already terrible. It’s dangerous and depressing and dehumanizing.
People often come out worse than they went in.

@RandyZabel @okiepatriot_76 Randy, no, it wasn’t meant to be temporary. It was created on the premise that Americans deserve a living wage for full time work.

[J Dub @okmanslowdown]

@TheRealBasik @TurnerGardens @okiepatriot_76 I think people who put in 40 hours every week, month after month, should earn enough to afford the basics. It’s a premise the MW was based on and I agree with that philosophically.

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

Correct. Many millions of Americans ceased caring about corruption, lawlessness, unconstitutional power grabs, and habitual lying years ago. Our standards have fallen so low as a nation that Vance can brag about getting away with it and still have a political future.

[J Dub @okmanslowdown]

@RandyZabel @okiepatriot_76 Well, I don’t know about a distortion of reality.
It is a historical fact that the minimum wage was created so that full-time working people could afford the basics. That’s the point of it. I’m just wondering if you disagree with the premise.

[J Dub @okmanslowdown]

@TurnerGardens @okiepatriot_76 A significant portion of this population are adults, some raising families on this income.

[J Dub @okmanslowdown]

@RandyZabel @okiepatriot_76 Do you agree, philosophically, that it’s acceptable in the US for people to work 40 hours a week, month after month, and not being able to afford the absolute basics? I just don’t think that’s right, and it was the whole reasoning behind the MW in the first place.

@redsteeze The court struck down the fundamental constitutional right to privacy that existed before Dobbs.

[J Dub @okmanslowdown]

@okiepatriot_76 She’s great

[J Dub @okmanslowdown]

@OleBeeM @TomCottonAR It’s landing on me the same way. This is who Dems in NY voted for. PA gets Fetterman. Big tents are good.

[J Dub @okmanslowdown]

@HistoryBoomer A Democratic party big enough to include socialists and people like Fetterman can be a very good thing.

[J Dub @okmanslowdown]

@RpsAgainstTrump @MarkSZaidEsq The Tea Party was incredibly successful.

[J Dub @okmanslowdown]

@SchmittNYC @RoKhanna @elonmusk Thank you for that research. Please include in every show examples of how lives can be saved with a relatively small amount of money from those of us who have more than enough.

[J Dub @okmanslowdown]

@alice215 @esjesjesj No that’s wrong
