Someone tried to make me feel sympathy for Reese McGuire after Cal Quantrill said…what he said to him yesterday. And I mean, they weren’t wrong, but also it’s the hardest I’ve laughed all season.
Again this is about power. How power is used. The right uses power to punish. Midwest Dems use even the narrowest majority to enact wins. None of the Aaron Sorkin West Wing unity, good Republicans, punch left bullshit. Wield power to get results. It improves lives and makes people like you.
I consider myself pretty far left, but honestly the most insufferable part of the next four months is probably going to be lefties screaming at us about all the ways Harris is odious like we don’t already fucking know in minute detail.
We may not be able to stop Congress from inviting mass murders to speak at the Capitol, but at least we can make it clear that they don't speak for all of us. My amazing spouse is somewhere in that crowd.
Obama’s presidency has aged really poorly, in no small part because of the progress Biden made on issues that are big with Dem constituencies that were just stalled in the Obama years.
