the only reason you should get behind Newsom is if you’re at the top of a staircase

Big tough guy act for months, turns out dude can't get that armband on fast enough

cc: Dems looking for response ideas 👇

Still waiting for the genuine fight (outside of the courts) to emerge, and was always dubious of the boycott. *Definitely* dubious of the NYT, but none of it matters - the money-raising is always the tell.

Democratic Party leadership putting on a masterclass in quiet quitting

You can't love your country only when you win - but you can abandon the Democratic party when they prove to be a feckless pretend opposition, actively assisting the autocratic takeover of the American government

Ah yes all those volunteer hours and dollars spent to support this fucking asshole, I'm so proud

Getting some strong "they know what's coming" vibes

not Lynch's movie, I know, but god, what a sendoff

prized possession

I keep thinking about those congresspeople kneeling in the rotunda wearing kente cloth scarves, very performative. There has been no loud, visible, unified support for Sarah McBride from the democrats. It’s a real disgrace. That is your colleague! They are bullying her in your faces. And silence!

They're all so hot for the daily drama to return. It's all they've wanted for four years. They can't contain the ecstatic glee.

absolutely wild and heartbreaking that a city with the literary history of San Francisco is to be run as a side project for the man responsible for degrading the meaning of human language and likely immiserating a generation of writers and artists

Minimum prerequisite before I ever pay attention to the Democratic party again

I think a lot about that incredible first episode and season, largely because of these well-articulated insights. Favreau has proven himself over the decades -- wildly inconsistent, but revolutionary when he hits the target.

Democrats doing their usual "get back up" nonsense while we wait to see whether the dictatorship turns out to be more the Orban/Erdogan kind, or the round-people-up-into-murder-stadiums kind

Can't believe we made it to Nov 5th

Start digging Oct 24th!
