It’s tough to know if you’re being a good parent, or not. But one thing that can be said, is my kids know and sing the lyrics to roundball rock

"If you look at the population of — well, all people in cities, particularly people who come to cities from elsewhere, but particularly homeless and other vulnerable people in cities [...] a pretty large chunk of those people who end up in cities were failed in some other parts of this country."

I'm not exaggerating when I say that this is the best description of my ideology I've ever read. From "Liberalism Did Not Fail, Conservatism Did" by @polphilpod.bsky.social. www.liberalcurrents.com/liberalism-d...

If we are entering a bipolar world, that simplifies our strategy considerably: We must unite our own coalition and oppose the enemy one. We are in a fight across countries, across institutions, and across all levels of society. War must be waged on all fronts. There is no point trying to find a middle ground with fascism; rather we should aim for positions that are broadly acceptable to everyone in the liberal team.

I say something along these lines all the time. We have a two Party system. Only two! And one of them, Republican, is easily obviously the one we don't like, leaving the one other party, Democratic, that we do like. Simple! Fight for what we like with who we like!

"In other words, the people who are the most 'polarized' in the U.S. electorate are those who are racist and sexist, and those who oppose racists and sexists."

Screenshot of article which reads: These numbers are relatively similar between Democrats and Repub-
licans, which often leads political pundits to claim this is more evidence
of “polarization,” and that both sides are equally to blame. However,
a closer look tells a more interesting story. The people who are most
likely to vilify and dehumanize their partisan opponents are Republicans
who are high in racism and sexism and Democrats who oppose racism
and sexism. The people who are least likely to vilify and dehumanize
their political opponents are Republicans who are low in racism and sex-
ism. One explanation for these patterns is that those Republicans who
are racist and sexist vilify and dehumanize Democrats because they see
the Democratic Party as a party of racial minorities and women; and
Democrats who score low in racism and sexism will vilify and dehu-
manize Republicans because they consider Republicans to be racist and
sexist. In other words, the people who are the most “polarized” in the
U.S. electorate are those who are racist and sexist, and those who op-
pose racists and sexists.
