It can't just be me thinking of this 25/8, right? Surely it can't be.

That story kind of perfectly captures everything that is "weird" about Joe Biden. Our default national tone, especially amongst the professional middle classes of our generational cohort, is always ironic detachment. It is basically our standard coping mechanism for continuing in a world that just gets perpetually shittier. And so we all react to that story with derision until we find out that it was actually the fight song of his dying son during his months long battle with brain cancer, which just makes you feel like a schmuck. Biden is basically Mr. Deeds. I actually find his eagerness and genuine belief in his political project to be kind of disarming.

I'm super heartened by the "power-sharing" agreement that democrats are trying to strike with McConnell and his crew. Glad that they realize how important important it is to treat them they way you'd like to be treated, yourself--and with all the respect with which they've always treated you. #goldenrule

I thought the dopest part of the Holo-Joe speech was when he said that lies are bad and Pence, one of the "good" ones lol, angrily refused to clap.

Whenever I read something about this I think of Spaceballs and the scene when Dark Helmet offers a truce handshake with Lone Star.

She is such a prolific writer. The fact that we are the exact same age makes me feel like a laggard to be honest.

Biden announcement today that we have enough vaccines purchased for all Americans to get jabbed by July has me nervous. Might have to double up on workouts since there is maybe a chance to hit the beach at some point.

Now I hear they want you to get vaccines for every variant.
I ain't getting 'em. I already had Covid.

Re: The Joseph R Biden Jr. Presidency
One of the most liberal states in America and the best New York can do is back Andrew Cuomo LOL.
Newsom has been folding like a bad blackjack hand recently, but he's twice as good as that shitbag Cuomo. That family is a dumpster.

Newsom fucking sucks, c'mon. This take is being informed by your documented anti-Italian bias.

That's a great question. Kate Brown here in Oregon is, like, fine. I guess?

Re: The Joseph R Biden Jr. Presidency
Yeah. Before we can start trying to influence the national Democratic Party apparatus, we need to start developing better county and state level party structures. It is totally insane that our movement was led by a 80-year-old Senator from Vermont. That speaks to something fundamentally broken about our political system. The Illinois, California, and New York Democratic Parties are all, in their own special ways, absolutely wretched political organizations that produce the worst type of political operative. That really needs to change.Michael K. wrote:Newsom > Cuomo, easy

Re: The Joseph R Biden Jr. Presidency
All the big blue state Democrats use their supermajorities to self enrich and do neoliberal experiments rather than creating a progressive movement.
Liberals with money in these states like California, Illinois, New York, and Virginia LOATHE their poor neighbors and the young leftists who want to change the system. They want faux civility, bloated police budgets to protect their favorite shopping districts, and cheap talk without tax increases.
Every time a progressive is on the ballot, even in the "deeply progressive" East Bay, they will get smacked aside by establishment money.
And yes, I think Newsom is way better than Cuomo. Just like California is way better than New York
I think Newsom has been really beaten down by the way things have gone in LA in the past six months and he doesn't have the ability to really get in the weeds there like Cuomo can do in NYC. Newsom has become worried about the politics and started acting like a shithead, but everything here is under local control anyway. Newsom is a giant lib, but we don't have many governors who are more progressive. A real indictment of the whole state of affairs, really.
Kate Brown is good but Oregon is TINY.

Nothing like some air strikes to try to make you forget $2,000 checks are never coming and the minimum wage isn’t going up.

Just want to point out that my Cuomo takes aged extremely well extremely fast. Like a quick fucking pickle.
The dude is a fucking mob boss piece of shit and everything he's said about the accusations against him has been complete horseshit and a slap in the face to victims everywhere.
"I didn't know making explicit sex talk with my twenty something female employees was considered grooming" is far far from acceptable.
Yes, I'm aware Gavin was married to Kimberly Guilfoyle, divorced her, and then fucked one of his staffers wives along with anyone else in the building who would look at him.

Re: The Joseph R Biden Jr. Presidency
Cuomo sucks in the way that establishment New York Democrats do and Gavin sucks in the way that elite, uber-wealthy, liberal Californians do... That is my take and I am sticking to it.
