They should just spend the time reading from the Epstein files. THAT'S the state of our union....

I really like Stoermer. I have to admit my very first thought when they announced Spanberger was “omg not Mamdani???” This video essay puts the “opposition” selection into clear, stark terms and he outlines exactly what messages this is NOT sending.

More government by consultancy I guess.

Recall when establishment centrist democrats and side-flippers did everything they could to center health insurance industry interests over care for every American.

So much damage has been done in the wake of our failure to truly assess our opposition and who's interests are prioritized by professional politicians

"Law and order" serves the bottom line. "Justice" serves the bottom line.

Perhaps the truth was breaking through the myth, so the PTB prop up trump, groomed to vandalize democracy and whitewash history and draw fire for their weaponized racisms.

I especially appreciate your point about how the legislative conversations were centered around the corporations. Remember the research that shows the little people have a vanishingly small chance that legislation they favor will be passed by ANY flavor of congress unless the wealthy and/or corporations also support it? So when people insist we just need to vote vote vote, there’s no acknowledgement that a change in congress and/or presidency is no guarantee that the little people will experience truly progressive legislation.

I think the pressure by consultants will be enormous to just get back to how things were, like when government bailed out the banks who broke the economy but not the people victimized by them. I’m not saying don’t vote. I’m just less sanguine that the Schumer-led Senate and Jefferies-led House will make life dramatically better for the little people.
