Holy shit. Bravo.
This — ALL of it — is worth your time.

A blind spot in the conclusion is reducing politics to partisanship without pointing out that both parties have been co-opted by the same moneyed interests.
It’s insufficient to just vote for Democrats. We must vote for good candidates and against the bad ones regardless of what color tie they wear.
Look at their donors. Schumer, Jeffries, Newsom, and others of their ilk might as well be Republicans.
@freediverx @TechConnectify He did discuss that about the Democrats.
You’re not wrong. There’s a time for that, and it’s the primaries.
But in the general election, in the absence of ranked-choice voting, there is only one choice: you either vote for the Democrats nominated for each position, or you let Republicans win and implicitly support what they’re doing.

But we’re not even in the primaries yet and we’re already being lectured by the Blue MAGA “vote blue no matter who”, Israel-first brigade.
Unless we recognize how we got to where we are today, we have little hope of a meaningful course correction.

We can’t wait until an election is upon us to discuss these issues. We need to start vetting and derailing the campaigns of bad candidates now, before they can build up the momentum to roll over public discourse with campaign ads, favorable coverage from the corporate media, and neoliberal sycophants like Ezra Klein and Matt Yglesias.
