Pray tell, how are a handful of the 435 representatives the house supposed to pass meaningful legislation on their own?
They vote on moderate bills because there's no better alternative and no way to get there YET. Cultivating an image around progressive ideas at least ensures that they enter the public discourse. This will take time to wrench the pendulum back from the center right
Talk about throwing the baby out with the bathwater
A very good article and the author answers their own question. Because they're the "big tent party," democrats support a spectrum of views and compromises, albeit largely unified on some issues (the author notes a few widely accepted positions across the party, like abortion)
Whereas Trump voters are in lockstep in their hatred and fear mongering (let's not pretend trump had or has any policy positions). You'll find those same views at the Iowa primaries or at that diner in Ohio. It's simply easier to summarize this relatively simplistic and basically apolitical view, so journalists took the easy out. Short, punchy articles with increasingly excessive "hot takes" got them clicks and now here we are
I love it (I LOVE the ghostbusters, any iteration. I even own 2016 on bluray--don't crucify me), but it's not a good movie.
No one seemingly remembers a giant marshmallow man attacking the city and ghosts running wild? The ghostbusters have disbanded and two of them now do kids parties, instead of hailed as heroes ushering in a new era of proof of life after death? Venkman and Dana split, negating all their chemistry from the first (and making him seem like an even bigger asshole), but then end up back together anyways? It's a giant reset and redo, with Stay Puft replaced by.... Oy, the statue of liberty. Even as a kid, I was like "the statue of liberty isn't an action figure. It doesn't have joints and can't walk."
Rumor has it the creative team tanked it on purpose to get out of more sequels and whether true or not, it definitely worked.
Since then, new evidence has slowly been uncovered about the role of Trump’s attorneys, the operatives they hired and how the breach, as well as others like it in other key states, factored into broader plans for overturning the election.
Emphasis mine
So what is this about breaching voting systems in other states??? That's rather chilling
Fuck off
Some of us still care about our fellow humans, regardless of our successes
