Less than 1% of major party nominees for Congress are working class. It is one of the most fundamental ways that Congress is not representative. And their views, e.g. on unregulated gambling websites, are apt to be different. www.bloomberg.com/features/202...

Why Working-Class Candidates Are Almost Never on the Ballot

Less than 1% of major-party candidates competing for a seat in the US Congress have a background in manual trades or service industries.

I'm sorry for being annoying, but we have 25 days left- and while we've made amazingly consistent progress this past week, with each passing day my anxiety becomes worse. I've been working to the bone all year and I don't see a rest in the cards any time soon. People aren't meant to live like this.

The two main tendencies in national Israeli politics right now are "expulsion and annexation of the Palestinian territories" vs "civil separation under the authority of an Israeli police state", and virtually all mainstream US commentary simply refuses to engage with this.

I think it is entirely possible that an election fought entirely about healthcare, rather than immigration, would be preferable for Democrats. But you're never going to get that, precisely because the other side understands that too!

the experience of COVID really drove this home for me. It wans't the apocalypse, life went on, but a million people died and there were enormous social costs, some of which continue to this day and then when it was done most people were like "let's never think about that again"

I have never been this vulnerable on here before, but I could really use the community's help. Literally everything my husband and I have worked for is at risk. Shares mean everything.
