Pritzker is so far the least bad candidate with 3 years to go before the convention. If anyone thinks a billionaire is going to do something about growing wealth inequality, I have a bridge to sell them.

At the very minimum, his manipulation of Xitter had an effect. I wouldn't be wholly surprised to find a lot more underhand stuff too.

They did act. Absolutely 100%. Their remit was to make sure Trump wasn't implicated, and once she got near that, they did their job as they were asked to do. We really need to stop this shock, horror stuff and acknowledge that we're not heading to authoritarianism at all. We got there months ago.

What's the percentage of trans athletes in American schools? About 0.01%? I read somewhere that we're talking about 17 people across the whole country. This is a big nothing burger given the numbers, so yeah - it's anti-trans.

Unfortunately, it's got little to do with what he understands. It's about whether or not those tasked with carrying out the orders or those who judge the orders know or care. There's a reason the GOP have been stacking the court.

The people matter, not the name. The people who want a center left party aren't in Labour any longer. The name "Labour" is merely a marketing mechanism.
Justin (@justinrf.bsky.social) reply parent
A party is just a largely irrelevant name. It means nothing without an ideology and Labour has swung too far right to ever recover. The people (the important part of a party) who can make a change have left. There's a new party. Those people are joining the new party.

Yeah, but this is how the GOP has been operating for decades now. It's not about facts, it's about feelings. This isn't a stick to beat them with. A minor plurality of people don't give a shit. The thing to do isn't to point out the stuff they don't give a shit about, it's to make them care.
Justin (@justinrf.bsky.social) reply parent
I want to know that the Democrats are totally committed to burning the GOP down. I want them to start rounding these pigs up and locking them up. But we all KNOW they have absolutely no interest in that at all. They're pathetic. Old, in the pockets of billionaires, and useless.

I've read a few papers that deal in what GDP really is. It turns out that it tracks energy use in a country with remarkable accuracy. That doesn't mean it tracks economic health particularly well. To make that case one would have to say energy use is always efficient. It's not.
