Once again you have to decide if you want to do politics and pick people who can do the job or if you want to stan septuagenarians with cancer working in important positions. Because mawkish sentimentality and elder abuse has won out consistently over fighting fascism

The reason the Biden story won't go away is that the "Biden Inner Circle Coverup" story is the "Feinstein on Judiciary" story is the "Connolly instead of AOC on Oversight" story is the "Republicans are about to pass their Medicaid killer bill because 3 Dems have literally died in their seats" story.

The fundamental poisons of American democracy — senate representation, electoral college, winner-take-all elections, unlimited campaign spending — are subjects of consensus among the 2 parties allowed to hold power. Everything they do besides confront those poisons is, in the long run, cosmetic.

The last eight Congressmen to die in office have been Democrats. The last time a Republican died in office it was due to a car accident. These deaths keep occurring when Republicans have a razor-thin majority and we need every vote. Perhaps it’s time for fresh blood?

The people who don’t want you to fight the “oligarchy” support—and are supported by—the oligarchy. It’s fine to say “no king” regarding Trump, but we’re not facing collapse into monarchy. We’re facing near absolute control by a handful of billionaires. That is oligarchy. It’s bigger than Trump.

Elissa Slotkin is a former CIA agent cosplaying as an everywoman. AOC is a former waitress who treats voters as though they are smart enough to know who's screwing them and how we can fix it.
