Honestly, I’ve been seeing this for years. I’m so encouraged that FINALLY people are as well. I’m not sure why it went on so long. The correction will be painful. I just hope it’s not too late.

And this is why now's the best time to organise, engage in discussions, and try to wake people up, and achieve class consciousness. Now's the time to try finding common ground with working class people whose politics we may not share, and try to show them we either stand together, or we get crushed.

Now that we know that Elon spent a quarter billion dollars to get Trump elected, any dive into Why Harris Lost needs to start with "Because the richest man on earth bought the election and our shitty campaign finance laws just let him."

Agree here. We should be fighting all of the anti democratic norms such as filibuster, blue slips, electoral college, gerrymandering. All of these have contributed to how we got to the current situation of entrenched minority rule.

One of the biggest mistakes left-leaning people make: when they think about "messaging" or "branding," they think about clever words & phrases. But the key to successful messaging is *power*, ie, the capacity to thrust your message into eyes/ears. Repetition, not cleverness, is the key to success.

The Hunter Biden story is a perfect encapsulation of what’s wrong with American media: Is it a story? Sure. But every newspaper in America devoting front page headlines to Hunter fucking Biden while Trump appoints a cabal of rapists, racists and con-men to positions of enormous power is MADNESS.

I would go so far as to say the Hunter Biden pardon was the only proper thing to do in this situation. Hunter’s prosecution was political and bullshit. Trump would have killed the investigation asap if situation were reversed.

The debate over the pardon reminds us that especially in the last decade Democrats have been mired in a debate that has at least some parallels to "respectability politics" discourse in the African-American community. Democrats must manage some generally unachievable level of purity.

This is getting overlooked, but the whole premise of Trump's threat of tariffs is based on a lie. He's claiming Mexico must be bullied into stopping migrants. But Mexico is *already* doing this. That's a big reason crossings have dropped. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/1888...

Project 2025 polls at 6% approval. Voters didn’t believe Trump was actually going to do—he lied and the press bought it. But now he’s actually doing it. He’s appointed key authors to admin positions. If Democrats can’t make that an issue, what is the point of the Democratic Party?

This pod is a fantastic discussion. One thing I take away from this is that cities are the country’s economic engines. Why continue paying all the bills while red areas beat us over the head? When is the general strike? Time to cut consumption and shop ultra local.

Out of roughly 153 million votes cast in this election, the presidency was decided by 230k across the three states of Wisconsin (30k), Michigan (80k) and Pennsylvania (120k). That's 00.15%. This remains an extremely closely divided nation. Any agenda viewed as extreme is likely to face backlash.

Remember when MAGAs pretended the popular vote on November 6 was a final tally and published chart after chart online claiming Kamala Harris had gotten “21 million fewer votes” than Joe Biden, and this proved—so they said—the 2020 vote count was fraudulent? Well, down to 7M. And counting continues.
