  • I don’t even know if there is necessarily a price. I think on some level, people just start to realize certain issues take priority over others, especially when you’re fighting the opposing party. You have to compromise on some things. If she were out there cutting down Biden every day over Israel, it’s going to make it hard for her to get other things done. It’s also going to make it more likely that Trump wins. You have to pick your battles, rather than spending all of your political capital on a single issue that she won’t be able to have enough impact to actually change.

    To a large extent, this problem is systemic. We have a two party system that doesn’t allow a ton of nuance. Also, politicians are involved, and politicians are always thinking about elections. I wish we could just vote on the issues themselves in our democracy.





  • It’s because they’ve concentrated so much fucking power. They just happened to exist at the best possible time to exist on the planet in the right fucking place. They don’t know what it’s like to have existed after them or to exist in a less optimal place. They are the most spoiled fucking generation in the history of the planet. No people has known such privilege.
