  • Democrats cannot function as a party because they think politics is about a beautiful tapestry people adding their own unique personality traits to the legislative process. It’s a party. It is supposed to be an organization with explicit goals, where the members work to achieve those goals. If it cannot function on that level, it is not a party. What are people voting for then? What is a democracy then? Pointing out that a party should have legislative goals and try to achieve them is what gets you called a tankie these days. And the republicans? Yeah, you guess it, they’re tankies. Because they can always get their tax cuts through congress. To these people, the most virtuous thing you can do is be very aware of how fucked everything is getting and refuse to violate the autonomy of Joe Manchin so you can get something through congress. It shows how committed you are to democracy, when you know exactly how many homeless people there are but still defer to Joe Manchin’s policy preferences. We are all very very aware of climate change and how it’s an existential threat, but it would be authoritarian to do something about it without Joe Manchin’s permission.








  • It’s really weird how much rightoids just don’t understand what we think, or maybe they just make up something to get mad about for a video. I think we generally understand what they think. This guy thinks seems to think progressives think all new things are “progress” and therefore good, and so he’s trying to pin them down and force them to realize that not all new things are good and not all things are better now. But I think progressives generally want to reform institutions to address problems, which are often caused by new technology and social development, or “progress”. He felt the need to make this video so he can feel better about how he used to bond with everybody in his school by calling them slurs and they would call him slurs. So yeah, some things are definitely worse now but it’s good that there’s less bullying and slurs in schools. He’s overcomplicated things to the point where he thinks people don’t like slurs because of “progressives”.
