In Maine, we have no voter ID laws, we have same day registration, we have no-excuse absentee voting, we have mail-in voting, we have early voting, we have 24/7 drop boxes.
And we have virtually no fraud.
Expanding ballot access doesn't encourage fraud; it encourages VOTING.

One fun thing about having a toddler is how relentlessly they point out all public services in eyesight at any given moment.
Mail trucks! Fire engines! Playgrounds! Buses! Libraries! Bridges! Ambulances!
And they're right! Public goods are amazing.

A thread.

Expensive education in the US is like corruption in China. It is a part of the system, not an anomaly.
Extravagant cost of US education is a tool whereby the rich maintain the monopoly of high-paying jobs for their offspring.
Demoledor @BrankoMilan: “la élite prefiere la educación privada porque refuerza su poder (...). El alto costo de la educación, combinado con la calidad real o percibida de ciertas universidades, cumple dos funciones: hace que sea imposible que otros compitan con los más ricos”

I predict that if Biden keeps delivering on progressive policies, some leftists will start to cheer, while others will get mad about foreign policy.
