This is like the "there would be fewer abortions with sex ed and contraception" argument. The right doesn't literally want fewer abortions. They want control. Dems can't credibly offer them what they really want: white patriarchy.

white centrists will look you dead in the eyes & say “it’s not fair to depict ICE agents as cartoon villains” while ICE is Gestapo kidnapping 9 year olds from courthouses.

And! If you DO try it hurts you in two ways. You fail to give people what they want (because that's impossible!) AND you reinforce the impression that you're a party of glib empty suits who believe in absolutely nothing and will say whatever a poll tells them is popular. Lose-lose. Not great.

It is hard to grasp but large masses of Americans are both racist/xenophobic AND not racist/xenophobic enough to applaud what Trump is doing. It's goldilocks shit, they want a level of racism/xenophobia calibrated exactly to their personal preferences, and you just can't make that policy. Don't try.

sure it's easy to say "defund the police" but who will you call when you're in danger and you need somebody to roll in guns blazing and kill you before you can identify yourself then plant a gun on your corpse

Ro Khanna on Twitter: Democrats should work with RFK Jr and Elon Musk and if they don't they're sanctimonious scolds
Ro Khanna on Bluesky: I don't have anything to do with Elon and in fact want to subpoena him!

In city after city, police are the single biggest budget item.
And I don’t mean like 2% when everything else is 1%. I mean like 40%.
Police take priority over drug treatment, psych care, housing, etc etc etc.
And now we are here.

I live in Shanghai and was 4 city blocks away from the big protest a couple of years back, no armed police were deployed at all, nor did any security approach a civ. So many Americans seem oblivious to their country being a top tier police state along with the most famous offenders.

They could at least stop calling for other Dems to shut up about mass deportation, as Jeffries reportedly did. Arguably pressure on this issue is /why/ the Trump admin is flying Abrego Garcia back.

he's committed mass social murder, Mr. Free Speech is extremely litigious against his critics, he's very unpopular thanks to the efforts of your actual supports, he has destroyed the government, his businesses are largely frauds

If you wonder why we are so jokey, why we seem so feral, it's because for years we were calm, reasonable, trying to talk to people, and we got ignored and shouted down and each time we were proven right they then said "why didn't you say anything?" We've been gaslit our whole lives and we know it

I saw a video a couple of days ago where a young gen z or older alpha was talking about the 2000s and the way they just said no one objected to or saw what Bush/Cheney were doing at the time, and it was mind blowing. It just becomes part of the narrative somehow, that there was no opposition.

If Github Copilot - one of the most well-liked and most conspicuous generative AI products, one of the few real *products* - only makes $500m a year, then there really is no massive growth story here. Even if that was profit. Which it isn't. It's horribly unprofitable.

Yeah, why would Britain want closer ties with China, the world’s second largest economy, when the largest is setting itself on fire for fun and the UK left the actual second largest economy* for nonsense and racism? 🙄
* the EU taken together has a GDP of $21T, above China’s $17T
