Many lawyers are saying the first amendment means you have to react to my replies. The mentions are part of it.

a true leader for our times (a valueless husk that exists only to make money for a billionaire ghoul whose daddy gave him everything he owns)

There is strange poster's delight I get from putting "What an achievement!" under some buddy's LinkedIn post that only them and I will know is a bit.

You tapped into the big fight in CT between the governor and the utility companies? It's a fun one.

Great piece, Brian. this feels counterintuitive to most in the party, but I think reformist-minded Dems need to simultaneously stake out a reform agenda within the party to force out legislators (and consultants) who overstayed their welcome w/ the public and earn trust.
Ethics, term limits, etc.

MBB wishlist
1. Eliminating personal fouls
2. Quarters
3. Time-limited reviews
4. Maybe just no refs?

We’re a simple state. We just want to eat a slice of pizza, watch the leaves change, and hear Brass Bonanza play as the executives from our electric monopolies are shaken upside down until our money falls out of their pockets.

He’s certainly the low-budget sequel, but I’ll bet on the name and the right-wing urge to embrace the dumbest form of succession.

The stuff coming on the official side now isn’t a consultant problem. It’s the way Democrats talk because they’ve professionalized being in Congress and adopted their own language (like tech companies did).
Starting point of every Dem problem is simply letting new people take these seats.

One cool thing we could try to escape this unending nightmare is not having Dem power consolidated in elderly multi-millionaires who have been in office since before Jeep Cherokees existed.

On the plus side, they’re also clinging to every meaningful seat of power until their deaths, preventing anyone else from fixing anything.

The only two things we know voters want, over the last ~18 years at least, are change and authenticity, and Democrats have met that moment by running the exact same people for a generation with the same consultants writing the same messaging for them.
Anyway, here's a 5-graph text with a pic of me.

Heartbreaking. It could've been so much higher if Marissa Gillett would only let them have more of our money and not ask mean questions like "what are you doing with all of our money?"

Absolutely. The entirety of anti-woke policy can be boiled down to “I should be allowed to be asshole but no one should be allowed to get mad at me.”

Fundamentally, the party isn't going to change until it rids itself of the people who have been there for a generation+, imo.
Voters have been asking for change for decades and the party's answers (in policy, messaging, and candidate selection) has been to keep power w/ more or less the same ppl.
