I'm in an intense nesting phase, wanting the house to feel cozy and safe. I think it's because I know what's coming in the new year. I want the kids to have a really good holiday season.

again, i don't think that's really fair or accurate. you're talking about an enormous group of people and taking on a SUPER condescending frame

that's actually YOUR framing. my framing was: all humans are imperfect/flawed and sometimes leftists forget that because we're chasing very big political dreams and ideals

i don't think that's accurate. i think the dirtbag left generally is well read, well informed, & earnestly thinks a lot about the directions we need to move in ideologically & politically. they are often marginalized by those afraid to be critical of capital, ie the Dems & mainstream media etc

its a problem when we need folks to take a stand against capital, otherwise you get folks like elon musk running the entire world

imo we need wine moms to start learning the difference between being social democrats vs. centrist liberals as a response to fascism, AND we need leftists to put the keyboards down and learn to love and value people who are flawed but trying

i'm far to the left of all the wine moms i know, but i also notice that in my state, wine moms actually do way more organizing irl than the dirtbag left, who are often only capable of destructive shitposting and tearing folks down on twitter

Hope Harris wins, voted for Harris. But my critiques of the campaign (alienating Arab-Americans, pursuing center right swing voters) have nothing to do with "the male gaze" and that's some outright lunatic framing tbh

there's a reason that even right now we're discussing the Cheneys instead of, say, Kamala Harris's amazing plan to expand Medicare to cover home health. And the reason is because the Harris campaign has chosen to center Liz Cheney in their outreach strategy, rather than expanding Medicare

i think bringing the neocons into the coalition is more of a signal to donors than it is meant to build a coalition of voters. the signal to donors is: get ready for your weapons shares and sales to go through the roof
its an abuse of the popular front concept to put fascists in it

even trump doesn't repeatedly brag about actual white supremacists being in his coalition, he mostly dog whistles. similarly, it's a CHOICE for harris and the dems to brag about support from the architects of the Iraq War, who are hated by republicans and democrats alike

I really appreciate the insights that Sarah and Eman shared in this conversation, and I think a lot of people need to hear them. We are living in a moment when people feel powerless and grief-stricken, and many are not handling it well. Who are we mad at? Who are we hurting? What do we need?

my instinct is that in the absence of liability for manufacturers and in the absence of any meaningful gun control then criminal liability for parents is the next best option

So where are we now with Barnier? This journalist at Le Figaro, the center-right daily in France, puts it clearly: 'Macron is going down a path that relies on the kindness of Le Pen.'
He adds, 'we're seeing a new republican front — this time against the left.'

Historically, many people living today recognize that the Vietnam protesters were right, but public knowledge of what went on is sanitized. Most people don't know that students bombed and burnt buildings, and those students are largely reduced to stereotypes in the popular imagination.

The U.S. Supreme Court largely just decides questions of constitutionality.
Brazil's Supreme Court does that — and also handles thousands of other cases and, in some ways, can even open and authorize investigations. Their sessions are televised and the justices have become celebrities as a result.

Harris should be naming it explicitly and condemning surge pricing as part of her current anti inflation plan

the most frustrating thing about the electoral college is that there is no major left-democrat coalition movement to reform it. with bush & trump's EC wins, liberals were easily baited into blaming "the left" rather than the EC, its a self own

i find the "platform wars" kind of ridiculous & a waste of time. we are all people who value communicating via posting, and most of us want access to lots of different perspectives from all over the world. we should focus on ways to interconnect platforms, which allows diff models to coexist
