I now understand what the guy behind the moral majority felt when he wrote after Clinton's impeachment 'I no longer believe there is a moral majority in America.'
Yeah, same buddy, just with different viewpoints as our baseline.

Fantastic little piece, well worth the read.
... TikTok astrologers are convinced this election isn’t over @jdcapelouto semafor.com/article/11/10/20…

Never-Trumper opposition sorted into basically two groups - total Trump capitulation, and (mostly) mainstream lib. It’s very hard to live your life in between ideological blocs and eventually you just become your environment.
Btw, anyone telling you that 63% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck is full of shit.
They got that statistic from here, and just applied it to everyone across the board.
Yeah, if you make under 25k, below the median income, life's hard!

Them: WE WANT A BIG TENT!
Democrats: *make a big tent from Dick Cheney to Bernie Sanders*
Them: NOT LIKE THAT! MAKE IT DIFFERENT!
Now people are complaining that Liz Cheney campaigning for Harris was a mistake.
Soon Harris will be blamed for accepting endorsements from Trump's Cabinet.
At some point we must come to terms with the harsh reality that half the country sees America very differently than us.

Republicans are going to have a 53-47 majority in the Senate, and yet here’s Trump urging the Senate to go into recess so that he can bypass it altogether.
In other words, he wants to install folks who couldn’t even get through *that* Senate.
It’s going to be a long four years.
Any Republican Senator seeking the coveted LEADERSHIP position in the United States Senate must agree to Recess Appointments (in the Senate!), without which we will not be able to get people confirmed in a timely manner. Sometimes the votes can take two years, or more. This is what they did four years ago, and we cannot let it happen again. We need positions filled IMMEDIATELY! Additionally, no Judges should be approved during this period of time because the Democrats are looking to ram through their Judges as the Republicans fight over Leadership. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. THANK YOU!

The idea that the party that is going to gleefully fire Lina Kahn and replace her with a corporate lackey is ACTUALLY more left-wing on antitrust than the party that appointed her is..."galaxy brained" seems grossly inadequate

It's important to keep both facts in mind: The country is still narrowly divided, but there was a nationwide swing to the right.

I did not expect this to be so prescient when I wrote it, but watching the entire center-left commentariat coalesce around doing an anti-Woke Cultural Revolution over the last few days has been unspeakably grim. nathangoldwag.wordpress.com/…

Hate to agree with Nate but he’s right on this particular point
Love to see these Biden people talk shit about the hypothetical campaign they would have run when they *actually did run a campaign*, did absolutely none of this, and it was the worst presidential campaign of my lifetime to the point where he had to quit. theatlantic.com/politics/arc…

2028 Dem hopefuls: we need to talk to normal people in a normal way.
Also 2028 Dem hopefuls: let's discuss neoliberal late capitalism and atomization of social structures.
Let me explain how it's going to work.
He's going to tell them to deport people ad hoc.
They will do it.
By the time the courts file the paperwork, they'll say 'well, we lost them in Mexico or something.'
They will not wait for the law to stop them.
.@Neal_Katyal on Trump’s call to end birthright citizenship: “The 14th Amendment is as clear as day that there is no way he can do that. If he tries that, he will lose in court every day of the week.”

If you're a presidential hopeful talking about neoliberalism you're going to lose. No one knows what that is and no one cares. We have multiple elections that prove this.

It’s a pointless speculative thing that’s all downstream of the media simply despising Joe Biden

"My liberal friends aren't the type to get mad at me" and "my undocumented family members are too nice to deport" are closely related delusions.
I'm so tired of this 'real populism has never been tried' bullshit. It's just reaganomics all over again.
All these people wishing that voters understood the economy while they themselves are selling magical thinking.
We offshored jobs to make the price of goods cheaper!

It's like the kale boom. Cheap kale became a thing in America in the 2010s, and the result was that the people growing it couldn't afford to eat it because of the demand, because if they were paid enough to afford it, no one would actually be able to afford it.
