User "A. Doofus" added me to a list entitled "Actual Fascists" because I did not agree that AOC is the *strongest* possible Democratic candidate in the 2028 general election.

I don't know what that is supposed to mean. Vance would probably beat AOC. That's a scathing indictment of America, but it's true. Ossoff, Pritzker, Shapiro, Brown and probably even Newsom beats him.

Before you respond, I want you to take a second to remember the difference between "is" an "ought".

What "people". You truly believe AOC is strongest in a General election over any other Dem?

New poll: Good Things: 78% approval All Practical Steps to Accomplish Good Things: 22% approval Any Trade-Off Whatsoever: 3% approval (Poll conducted 9/96 - 9/29, 3%+/- margin of error)

This is good but still presents an implementation challenge because Throw polling at 60% is misleading when Take polls at 5%.

I'm fine with it in the very specific context of making a forced-birther/ Liz Bruenig squirm, but yeah, it shouldn't be part of the literature.

That's a policy question, not the "accountability/clean-house/anti-corruption" issue that the post you are replying to was specifically about.

Encapsulates all of this. Dimwit Boomer blithely votes for Pure Evil because her petty grievances are easily manipulated into hate, unwittingly signs off murdering her own daughter and then asks how could this happen. Fucking bummer.

I don't think a partial shut down for months to not provide funding to ICE, and forcing Republicans to do it through reconciliation count as "not moving at all".

anti vax MAHA parents are behaving much the same as transphobic or homophobic parents, and with the same outcomes; they torture their children for their own self aggrandizement.

We really need to push back on the narrative that actually doctors were so snooty they made people say “I’m still glad I didn’t vaccinate my kid who just died of measles”. The pathos is way fucking deeper than a pediatrician was condescending one time. This framing undercuts medical expertise.

This pernicious tendency to validate extreme and harmful rejection of institutions because of relatively mundane complaints about the institution really frustrates me. It's like sympathizing with a hijacker because the flight attendant was rude.

And... *do* I need to have compassion for these people? Seems like that would just encourage and validate their feelings. Their opinion isn't valid, I don't think we should pretend that it is.

Respectfully, that doesn't sound like a case of a condescending or sexist medical establishment pushing someone into a crunchy/MAHA space, which is what the OP claimed was happening. This sounds like pride not letting her believe that something could be "wrong" with her child.

Whether it's due to economic anxiety, women being too picky about height, or condescending doctors, the important thing to know is that the worst people in the world are just smol babies.

Is it true? The experience you just shared was not one where you became MAHA, but took charge and ensured you got access to the very expertise MAHA rejects.
