And the Democrats are the opposite: The more you stand for bland centrism—for nothing—the higher and faster you rise.

Possibly related: The same family has run the paper for more than a hundred years.

The silent Democratic Party doesn’t have much more.

Every day we count on the Democratic Party to save us from fascism is a day we will slip further into fascism.

And when you remember that the same family has run the paper that whole time.

The Democrats replaced my young Black congressman with an old white man.

They’ll do the same with Schumer. Every day we count on the Democrats to save us from fascism is a day we will slip further into fascism.

Dems could urge people to take to the streets. They could pass sweeping laws. They could rapidly appoint judges. Biden could pass mountains of executive orders.
But nah.

The Dems could be working right now to minimize the impact of a second Trump presidency, but nah.

The Dems are still in power. They could be working 24/7 to make it harder for the fascists come January. They could be urging Americans to protest fascism. But instead Dems are meekly handing over power and not even trying to use the lame duck period. Not a real opposition party. And never was.

My theory: most people don’t know what “tariff” means and figure they’ll be fine because “I’ve never heard about any ‘tariff’ messing things up in MY life.”

Think for a minute about how galactically fucked up a party has to be to NOT EVEN MENTION THE FRAUD JUDGMENT against their chief political opponent.

SPOILER: They won't correct it, and they will print the same lie again, and they won't correct it then either.

Yet another self-inflicted wound for a party that just seems to love self-inflicted wounds.

The Sulzberger-Ochs family has controlled the nation's preeminent newspaper for more than a century, yet no one ever talks about them or what their political aims might be. Doesn't that seem odd? Who are they, what do they want, how does that affect coverage, and why doesn't anyone ever ask?

It's not an error if they do it on purpose.
They do it on purpose.
They do it because they want fascism.
They want fascism because THEY LIKE FASCISM.

Peter Baker is consistently, intentionally and lustfully pro-fascism.

I agree.

Amid cries that our media "has learned nothing since 2016" I will be screaming that it's not a matter of learning, it's a matter of our media consistently and actively and lustily supporting the fascists.

Possibly related: The New York Times has been controlled by the Sulzberger-Ochs family for more than a century, yet, quite unlike what we've seen with Fox News and the Murdochs, no one ever talks about the Sulzbergers or speculates about what their political views and aims might be. Isn't that odd?

All the fascism that's fit to launder.

He sure used a lot of words to say something he could have said in a sentence or two. I wonder how many aides and paid consultants helped workshop Booker's bloated statement.
