an unambiguous good sign this cycle is that the House Dem money universe has been pretty comprehensively bullied out of doing Kara Eastman 2 despite having several races where they clearly wanted to do that to progressive nominees

There’s a clear line of logic from The Lost Cause to Nixon to Iran-Contra to Bush’s war in Iraq No white man should ever be held accountable for his actions, no matter how destructive

Part of what happened here is the reality that Black people had to be included when considering labor and a total rejection of that fact.

whenever we get close to seeing a systemic problem with policing, media rushes to frame it as a training problem. however, police culture is at the core of its mistreatment of victims and rape cases. policing is a tool of white supremacy AND *male* supremacy

But of course, not remembering this stuff is vital to denying the fact that the same people have been in charge of the party for decades so they can pitch triangulation as the brave new strategy that’s never been tried every two years.

Schumer has not moved towards the left in response to this cycle's pressure, which is why it makes sense to go scorched-earth against him and his caucus with the aim of replacing him as leader. Jeffries is taking an adversarial (he's still an enemy of the Democratic left) but realistic approach

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward
