Clear and excellent overview of the #debtceiling nonsense and why the #coin is the least-worst option from @rohan & Annie Lowrey.

The broader lesson here is that this all is an object lesson in how neither our media nor our political system is designed to deal w/ a far right authoritarian party.

We wouldn't be at this point if we had two pro-democracy parties & electoral/legislative institutions that weren't deeply anti-democratic & fundamentally broken. But we don't.
