It’s a site full of people on the left that have empathy for people that are struggling. If you want, you can go over to the other site where they complain about cities being hellholes because a homeless guy was interrupting their al fresco dining experience by talking too loudly in their vicinity.

Exactly wrong. Trump has embraced and dialed up all of the worst and most dangerous aspects of the “war on terror”—including the bellicosity, the bigotry, and the theory of executive power. Trump isn’t moving on; he’s doubling down.

The bar for progressive policies is: "did this unilaterally solve the entire gigantic systemic issue without making a single person sad?" The bar for conservative policies is: "did the people pushing this yell out the name of a real problem before doing something unrelated, cruel and ineffective?"

It's pretty simple. Your electricity bills will go up as the Trump administration takes away electricity supply in order to give a payday to one of Trump's cronies.   Once again, the American people lose, Trump's buddies win. Sums up this administration's policy.

Covid lockdowns demonstrated, in a deeply imperfect way, the possibility of large-scale social solidarity for a higher cause. That is a prime reason why so many powerful people want us to run screaming away from them into the comforting arms of selfish individualist competition.

The most convincing theory for Trump’s rise is that there is an enormous part of the population that is scared that society is moving at such a rapid pace. They’re worried they won’t be seen as “normal” so they adopt reactionary positions to try to pull everyone back to a place of personal comfort.

This is why we need primaries. We need to filter these kinds of people out (& defeat them handily) before Republicans get a chance to campaign against them, dominate them, and absolutely annihilate us with “This person represents every Democrat” talking points.

“restoring faith that better is possible” is maybe the most important thing in politics right now outside of imposing consequences on the bad people (and imposing consequences would help restore faith) we have seen what cynical, “lol nothing matters” politics leads to and it leads to Donald Trump

A weird thing is that they would both get trounced in the Republican Party by Donald Trump Jr. because the Republican voters have been trained into thinking that the most important thing in the world is saying “Fuck you” to Democrats (and junior is the biggest “fuck you” imaginable)

This is another reason why the only path forward is for Dems to bite the bullet and implement proportional representation via increasing the size of the House and mandating single multi-member districts. You can't have a constitutional democracy in a two-party system if one party is authoritarian.

My entire lifetime has seen Republicans benefit from every structural bias in the system: two republican presidents elected while losing the popular vote,the senate being biased towards small rural conservative states,house and state legislatures being heavily gerrymandered, and a captured SCOTUS.
