Wtf? Doesn’t he need to do the Insurrection Act to do that?

Oh God. I agree some zoning laws can be changed, but everything else in that quote sounds like something a conservative would say.

How? Dem Soc welfare? I’m guessing not because centrist Americans Democrats don’t like Bernie or AOC. Increase production of everything? How? Reducing regulations, like someone else said, I’m guessing?

Well you see, the problem wasn’t them, they think the problem was that Trump associated them with trans people and immigrants. Harris tried her best to say Biden enforces the border even better than Trump, but it didn’t work. So clearly, they need to be even more exclusionary with trans people and even more bloodthirsty with Palestinians and immigrants. They’ll get reelected in no time!

Not super surprised. I figured it was something similar to “If we increase the GDP enough, we all end up good! A rising tide lifts all boats!” But because GDP can go up with just rich people doing good, then it sounds a lot like trickle down to me. But I also don’t want to mischaracterize their argument if they meant something else.

Wtf is the abundance politics? Trickle down with a new word?

I hope it’s coming, but first people need to be educated about why the Dems suck. It’s like the sunk cost fallacy.

People keep asking why the left is attacking Democrats as if it’s disrupting unity, but I think the truth is that even though they’re okay with gay and black people, unlike the Republicans, until we tear ourselves away from that billionaire focused party, we can’t build an alternative movement without it being sucked up and dissipated by the Dems. And if we can’t build a new party or movement, we’re doomed.

These people clearly don’t understand the problems or needed solutions in front of us and are willing to throw anyone under the bus, which is absolutely horrible for coalition building.

I think I kinda agree. There are some not great ones, but I think it holds up until the last season or so (when they started writing Andy weird after a long, imo quality redemption earlier in the show, forcing Nellie to be a thing, and injecting odd drama into Pam and Jim’s relationship). But even then, it kind of saves itself with a good, heartfelt finale. But up until then, even if it’s not quite as good as some of the funniest earliest highs, it’s still a good show.
