Just in time to take all the blame.
lol, âThe Hillâ, I know. Working Hard!
What the ever loving fuck are they going to âdebate.â Lol Senate, lol US government. We donât want black people to vote (50). We do want black people to vote (48). I need to hear a month of discussion on this controversial topic (2). Fuck off

Like itâs a good idea and it seems odd to me that if the the average political donor and Democratic staffer is supposedly to the left of the general populous why we donât get âjust talk about billionairesâ for everything instead of the centrist word salad from most Democrats.
Bernie is really good at making any question into whatever he wants to talk about though, like really good.
Ultimately the reason I land on âin on itâ is their competence at playing dirty to nuke progressives while being wholly unwilling to do so in dealing with Republicans. They literally go out of their way to tell everyone how great ârealâ Republicans are while constantly trashing Bernie Sanders.
Itâs difficult to find an issue that doesnât directly relate to the epoch-defining wealth inequality we have now. Yggyâs trying hard to make this a back-handed compliment by calling it âreductionistâ and non-responsive, but itâs generally the correct answer to issues about jobs, healthcare, etc.
If the Edems took even half of the shenanigans they pulled on Super Tuesday vs Bernie and did it against the republicans theyâd never lose another election.
If they governed consistently often, theyâd have to do stuff. Sometimes it really as that simple.
Itâs not the actually shenanigans themselves (i.e. what they did really isnât applicable to much else). Itâs the resolve.
The eDems only act when they feel sure they can win.
goddamnit
Ok so I watched it and it wasnât too bad. LMM said some good stuff about coming together and what a good nation we had ⌠and then they got to the actual song. Then they had like all the previous cast members who played the parts fade in and out singing their lines. It was goofy.

Counterpoint, all musical theater is cringe. It can only ever be cringe. Doesnât mean you canât enjoy it, but thereâs a never not cringe use for musicals.
Holy shit the Hamilton song looooool
It should be illegal to vote for Dems
The political project of the Democrats is to protect the institutions of the United States, regardless of whether those institutions are good, bad, working well, irreparably broken, whatever. I canât think of a single exception to this rule. The answer is âprotectâ even when the institution is literally âthe Republican Partyâ or âa political system threatening to destroy the Democratic Partyâ.
