I'm not seeing a whole lot of discussion about the atrocious Project 2025 tax plan. It raises taxes on lower and middle wage earners and decreases taxes on the highest wage earners (in the name of "simplification" which is total BS).

It is also productive at this stage to discuss how we or our representatives have done wrong in the past *only* towards solutions & avoiding the same mistakes.

It is NOT productive (purity politics) to interrupt momentum on a different topic (say fundraising, volunteering) to bring up past mistakes of OTHER, DIFFERENT Dem representatives for no other reason than to dunk on how shit past Dems have been.

I know this behavior has won a lot of social clout for folks in the past, look at me, look how much further left I am than you, but FFS it’s divisive & detracts from actually moving the world left. We all know how shit past Dems have been. It’s all we’ve talked about the past decade. How well has that worked out for us?

In the words of the late great Bob Newhart, “Stop it!”

If we want to move the world left, now is our chance. Pick up some tools and do what you feel is right, but do not derail someone else’s efforts unless they’re actively causing harm.

Like, here’s what.

We either believe in democracy or we don’t. (Yes, I know some schools of anarchy don’t believe in democracy/centralized democracy, but I do and so do most people on the left.)

Democracy comes with some difficult realities. Especially if we’re embracing diversity. That means lots and lots of differing opinions about how society should be run. Which means that when we come together to decide, or influence our elected representatives to decide, that we have to compromise. Everyone gets a voice, some of those voices are wrong, and sometimes people you disagree with will decide things you don’t like. That’s how it works.

Otherwise, what you’re effectively saying is that you want a tyrant so long as you’re the tyrant.

What isn’t up for compromise is each person’s right to exist and other rights that should always be protected. Everything else is up for debate, and that’s the downside of sharing power equally.

This man thought that if you removed trash cans in San Francisco, San Francisco would have less trash.

Anyway, that didn’t happen. We still barely have trash cans. Yet he had the power to inflict this untold cruelty upon homeless people.

Newsom needs to just retire and live off his wife's family money and never be seen again.

what an asshole

Republicans before: Trump is ahead in the polls! That means he's going to win!

Republicans now: Polls don't actually mean anything because they didn't poll every voter.

why do I feel like cutting this out with...some scissors

If you turn it upside down, it's a middle aged person stretching their hammy.

Simple, put a grate all the way over the storm drain so people cannot get sucked in.
