Centrists don’t like it when people turn the lights on in their copium den.

Or… He was a conservative that saw MAGA as the existential crisis that it is.

Or he was a conservative and thought that Trump wasn’t racist enough.

Funny how I heard about the $15 on the news but not about how it turned out to be a better person with the same name.

How many of them will stay home or change their vote because the head of the party they’re still a part of despite all the gun nuts continues acting like a gun nut?

If Biden is trying to use guns as a wedge issue for Republicans, he’s the person we saw at the debate all the time.

So it’s a completely empty promise.

Democrats will never nuke the filibuster. Ever. It’s what lets them pretend their hands are tied when they kill progressive legislation they ran on but never had any intention of ever implementing.

They would rather lose Democracy forever than abandon the relic of Jim Crow they use for its intended purpose.

Genocide still enjoys broad bipartisan support.

Thank you for the centrist Democrat perspective on the matter.

Will be? Are.

Out of frank admiration?

And Democrats ignore the axiom entirely and keep ordering their constituency to fall in line.

We broke it, and now it’s your fault for not knowing how to fix it.

We’ll see. Just because they haven’t used it yet doesn’t mean they won’t.

Especially since the man at the top of the ticket was chastised by his eventual running mate for his work regarding busing.

Anyone else read that first sentence in Trump’s voice?

So they’re wasting their money on someone who will win anyway?

AIPAC buying another candidate. Disgusting.

And they’ll blame the left.

This would be perfect as a podcast. Just break up the document section by section and do a whole series on it. Detail what Republicans want to do, why it’s evil shit, how they want to accomplish it, and then draw a contrast between what Democrats want and what Democrats intend to do instead and what they need to accomplish it. Could go section by section in as much depth as you want. End each episode with a preview of the next one, start each episode with a “last time on Dragon Ball Z” recap of the previous one.

People could get this information while driving or doing the dishes or folding laundry. Instead of expecting them to sit down and read the unabridged and un-annotated “How We’re Gonna Do a Fascism” by the Heritage Foundation.

Whether or not they would listen to such a podcast, who can say?

My view changed because the information available to me changed. I called heads and it was tails. I fucked up.

Yes, you did. Repeatedly and loudly, while calling everyone who was absolutely right fascists.

Just like you’re doing now.

If he was still capable of using the bully pulpit (and if he had ever been seriously interested in using it at all), he could start at the beginning and focus on one section at a time over the course of weeks. Instead he’s telling Americans to read something that is simultaneously dull and hateful with no context.

I wouldn’t say completely responsible, but he and the Democratic Party more broadly are certainly taking advantage of the situation.
