If it feels like our politics are stupid these days, it's because they are. Most of what passes for politics is just deflection away from why politicians aren't doing things that benefit most people. When they fearmonger about trans kids in sport instead of fixing monopoly abuse it's a distraction

Remember when Joe Biden proposed canceling student debt and every single Republican accused him of "bribing voters"?
dailymail.com
Biden accused by GOP of 'bribing' voters with student loan forgiveness
The Biden administration unveiled its latest effort to forgive as much as $20,000 in debt for some borrowers on Monday after the Supreme Court struck down its original plan last year.

Oh nothing, my PCP just started crying in our appointment because so few of her patients can actually afford the care and meds they need and she has to watch them erode in front of her. Healthcare access is good for patients *and* maintaining the sanity and longevity of the healthcare workforce.

Apropos of nothing, ambulance service and prehospital emergency care should be taxpayer-funded and considered essential service everywhere. Modern EMS emerged due to racial and class inequity, its funding should evolve accordingly en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom...

GenAI is a tech bubble of hype and absurdity. It runs on nothing but vibes and dollar signs in billionaire's eyes. But that's why we must resist it. We broke NFTs, we broke the Metaverse, we can break this nonsense too.
The reason RAM prices went up 4x is that a massive amount of not-yet-manufactured memory was bought with money that doesn't really exist to put into GPUs that haven't been made yet, to be installed in data centers that haven't been built, powered by infrastructure that may never exist, to satisfy demand that isn't actually there, in order to generate profits that are mathematically impossible.

Dollar for dollar, money spent on police is some of the least-effective spending we can do to reduce crime- that money cannot be spent on addressing its causes (like poverty and homelessness), and police solve or prevent crimes at remarkably low rates.

It's a feedback loop of "They're red states, they deserve their fate" and into "So why don't we NOT provide them with real candidates &/or not push back against gerrymandering, etc" which leads into "why did GOP continue to keep choke hold on _____ state?!?" by the DNC/liberals.

For years, the biggest criticism of renewables was simple: “What happens when the sun isn’t shining?” The answer is increasingly: battery storage. 24/7 solar power is no longer theoretical. In some places, it is becoming economic reality.

This point cannot be made enough; even though folks in the Nordics pay higher tax rates than we do in the US, they spend less and get more in return. When I added up what I pay to live like a Dane vs. what I would pay in taxes, the result was: Danes and Swedes get a much better deal than we do

It is wrong and criminal for government agents to kidnap someone, send them to die in a concentration camp, and disappear them, regardless of immigration status. But it's still worth noting she has a green card. The government doesn't even pretend this is about deporting undocumented people.

Now that SCOTUS has ruled that a voting district that isn't on its face about race it's okay, all the GOP has to do in order to discriminate on race is to pretend it isn't. We're headed back to "separate but equal", which as we all know was never equal- it just established lying as SOP
