I don't have a solution beyond "perhaps it was bad to have the entire Internet be 4 things" because I really don't know how you fight back against conveniently available dog shit.

It's like being told to collect as much dog shit as possible. A generation ago, that meant wandering around the neighborhood looking for a few stray messes. These days being online is like being at a crowded dog park. If you want shit, you just go pick it up from the barrel. Too easy.

So how's the plan to get MAGAworld to all buy EVs to own the libs going? Good? Great? I'm going to just put you down for great.

To be clear, this is largely a consequence of spending a generation passing CRs instead of a full federal budget, not some wishy-washy notion of mismanagement.

Based on my own experience, there is a staggering amount of federally owned infrastructure that is long overdue for upgrade and continues to function only by the efforts of career employees with highly specific knowledge, all of whom fear being fired without warning now.

My 73 year-old father also wants him gone from leadership. It would be great if just once, NYT did interviews BEFORE they've already decided what the interviewees believe.

I don't disagree that it's a cult of personality at its core. And of course it's all abominable. But it can be broken down to "form a white male ethnostate where billionaires run everything to their whims instead of a nonpartisan federal government."

This is why I get existential dread over how much cachet pleas to move to the right get (something something "big tent"). They openly reject forming a community around a coherent philosophy (like MAGA successfully did) in favor of "keep treating voters as customers, just get different customers."

His entire framework seems to rely on the presumption that the DNC strategy of "vote when we need you to, otherwise be quiet and send us $5 a week" is effective. When faced with the engaged communities MAGA and even the Tea Party created, he's saying "no, don't do the that, stay unengaged."

Can we now, at long last, stop pretending that there is an adult in the room? No one is coming to save us but ourselves.

No team has yet to go 0-17 since the extra week was added. NYG see that as a challenge, apparently.

Hypergrowth number-go-up mentality in tech always reminds me of 1950s blustering futurist visions of commercial flights to the moon, when instead aviation as an industry finally ran into the corner of physics and economics, so air travel now is only incrementally different from 50 years ago.

Launching Carville, Axelrod and Emmanuel into the sun would probably improve the DNC by a solid 80%

Then DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. If Dems aren't willing to expend political capital to save the country, what's even the point of being an elected official? DO THE SENATE THINGS.
