Couldn’t dems use the same tactic to hold up border wall, pipeline, and other such odious constructions?

And before that Gore should have never accepted the 2000 outcome. We should have had this fight 20 years ago.

Ron DeSantis's invocation of "CCP" during the debate made me curious when this shorthand for China became common on the right. If we use Fox News as an indicator, it was uncommon for years — until the pandemic. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

The US Constitution is a climate suicide pact. No meaningful climate policy is possible so long as its major provisions remain in force.

I think that Manchin’s response to articles like these show that he was always susceptible to public pressure, I just wish Biden was better at applying that pressure. www.nytimes.com/2022/07/16/o... www.nytimes.com/2022/07/15/c...

Seems the place to start would be 2 senates seats for DC. Coming out of 2020 that could have been strong racial justice message. 2 more seats would then open up a lot of other possibilities. Current party leadership, contra voters, wants to preserve counter majoritarian institutions.

And I think it’s not just the incoherence of the coalition but also counter majoritarian character of American political institutions. Even a relatively strong a unified Democratic Party would run into filibuster, Supreme Court, house districts limited to 435, etc.

Imagine a gov that cared as much about child care as it did sending depleted uranium and cluster bombs to Ukraine.

So it is horrific/ironic that all these new technologies that are supposed to disrupt/democratise/decentralise/save us (blockchain, LLMs, large data algorithms) actually consume so much electricity and water for their servers that they are accelerating environmental disasters.
