They're just trying to ahem, "stay relevant," Bixie.
You know, kinda like Linds.
Joey Scar knows the game.
Maybe there's some dirt on 'em, too.
They DO live a very privileged life.
And if they wanna compete with Fox, well...
Can we PLEASE make sure this is real, Bixelicious?
Cuz it's funny to begin with, and if he really wrote this....LOL

IMO Dems did the best they could. Dems ALWAYS change, sometimes less sometimes more...cuz Dems.
Repukes have changed, too...but in the opposite direction. Maybe (in teleological terms) they were gonna end up fashy anyway.
Fox News and greedy dipshits won this one, it's THAT SIMPLE. And a flood of falsity that engulfed/engulfs STILL those of us who don't read the papers.
Every so often a GOP disaster is too big to cover up, see '08 and '20 for exs.
Neither.
I learned plenty from covid.
As you pointed out.
However, I am not "we" if "we" lumps me in with MAGA idiots who seemed to have learned nothing and are intent on repeating same.
@singlemaltgirl @TheAbbotTrithemius
Repukes ALWAYS say they have a mandate when they win. Now matter by how slight the %. See Dub’s ‘04. And the way our govt. is constructed exacerbates/prolongs this type of bullshit.

Josh Marshall at TPM:
Miscellaneous Thoughts on a Democratic Path Forward
"I’ve been arguing pretty strenuously against getting taken in by these [..] claims of some overwhelming victory or mandate. Trump is now under 50% of the popular vote. "
""you don’t want to go into full baby-and-the-bath-water mode if you lose by a little over a single percentage point. And your coalition is hardly hopeless if you get between 48% and 49% of the vote in a bad year."

I've said it before but it bears repeating:
With him at the helm, we can expect to see another AIDS/HIV pandemic once the people who need it can no longer get the medications that keep it from being a death sentence any more.
I try to steer clear of Guardian opeds but DID skim this one. Meh.
Their reporting OTOH is usually good.
They're turning into a Brit prog version of WSJ when Dow Jones still owned 'em (before Murdoch). 😆
As for us Dems, well...Will Rogers said it best:
“I’m not a member of any organized political party…. I’m a Democrat.”
And --
“Democrats never agree on anything, that’s why they’re Democrats. If they agreed with each other, they’d be Republicans.”
🤷♂️ 😎
Anecdotal "evidence" warning!
I've been looking at it daily now for about a week and have seen increasing amounts of trolly troll action...

@InUnfunky The next 3 months will be critical to see if BlueSky can remain non-toxic.
I am skeptical, simply because there are so many assholes desperate to find a place where they can Troll The Libs.

A Nazi is pissed because....BlueSky.
Wait until he finds out about CoSo, which is even more heretical.

“The legislation comes after the lawmaker who wrote one of Texas’ recent abortion bans wrote an op-ed in the Houston Chronicle defending the current exceptions as ‘plenty clear.’”
Yes, it’s clear they want to kill women. The law is written that you MUST be on the edge of death (“to save the life” clause)—it does not allow an abortion UNLESS it’s to save your life. Not potentially, NOW. Otherwise it is a crime.

“BlackRock, the world’s biggest asset management company, faces a complaint at the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) for allegedly contributing to environmental and human rights abuses around the world through its investments in agribusiness.”
We will have a dead planet, but at least we will be able to retire. 🤦🏻♀️

What should we have learned from Covid-19? That oil is worthless in a society without consumption. That healthcare has to be public because health is public. That 50% of jobs can be done from home while the other 50% deserve more than they’re being paid. That we live in a society, not an economy. As usual, we learned nothing.
