I'll take the earnestness of a Wil Wheaton over the practiced, performative cynicism of a Tom Morello any day. Voting isn't everything, and I did not like Kamala Harris, but if your 'antifascism' compels you to let fascim win the White House, you are not against fascism, you are a brand.

I think it is crucial for the health of the Democratic party that the entire consultant class from previous administrations, including and especially Clinton, be told to go home and stop bothering people. They are wrong about everything and have been holding the party back for decades.

It's important to remind readers that while there are a few anti-trans dems, many are doing great work. Spanberger in VA did not flinch at anti-trans attacks. Now, she just ended Governor Youngkin's infamous rule that would ban trans students from bathrooms. Subscribe to support our journalism.

If you think that AI is going to kill everyone soon, then a lot of things you do right now don't matter, so it might just make someone feel better about doing bad things in the short term. It's like a black pill version of longtermism. Instead of 'this will be worth it later,' it's 'nothing matters'
