How Hitler Dismantled a Democracy in 53 Days. Fascinating @theatlantic.com read if you enjoy history. Trump needs to pick up the pace if he wants to beat Hitler’s record. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Still amazed that a state like Wyoming with a population of 580k and California with a population of 40 million each have equal representation in the US Senate. They should feel free to ‘burn it to the ground’ in WY. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/26/u...

Dear @democrats.org - If you want to beat MAGA populism, find the fortitude to get rid of the lobbyists lining the parties pockets and find a palatable, next gen Bernie now for 2028. #howtowinanelection www.nytimes.com/2024/12/09/u...

Welcome to the Oligarchy 2025. It’s gonna be great. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/05/u...

No. I have nothing against Whitmer but an outsider can only beat MAGA populism. Trump won because he gave the working class someone to blame their issues on. Voters can’t articulate why they keep getting screwed. Dems need a younger Bernie type democratic socialist. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/30/u...

Centricism has never beaten Populism of any form. The only way to win an election against Populism is with your own version of it. It’s much easier to call it out when it isn’t working as well. How progressive Democrats are looking to call Trump's bluff www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...
