ManhattanJuryAppreciator: The CNN guy mocking Biden for signing a bill creating a national Parkinson's Disease initiative is really emblematic of how much these guys don't care what the stakes are for ordinary people.

The CNN guy mocking Biden for signing a bill creating a national Parkinson's Disease initiative is really emblematic of how much these guys don't care what the stakes are for ordinary people.

Not that center-left bloggers are the true villains in the big scheme of things, but the last week has had me dwelling on the manifest ways that Biden's presidency has challenged the Popularist theory of electoral politics

Popularism only works if you assume the media environment is beneficial or neutral, and guess what we've learned!

"Do popular sh t but make sure AG Sulzberger and the right-wing owners of the social media platforms and networks personally like you"

Popularism deeply misunderstands that people walk backwards to policy through policymakers they like and have an emotional connection with.

Centrists aren’t the true villains. But they are no friend of democracy if they are willing to negotiate with the fringe right.

Biden's steady consistent pace of incremental changes that improve lives - he's gotten more done than I thought possible. I truly underestimated his ability to deliver.

I don't love the guy, he's not perfect - but he's done a really good job and I appreciate him for it.

embrace pleizar thought

There is now a *single* person on the earth who deserves that illness. That fuck, whoever he is.

I’m sorry *what*

Seconded. What? Really??

No matter WHAT the stakes of the election are, that's just fucking offensive. Like, Parkinson's is FUNNY to you? Same for all the vultures making "dementia" jokes.

Why would someone mock this

have you met the modern GOP?
