I don't think she could get the Senate seat... If she could she wouldn't have resigned from the house

She's distancing herself and doing the talk show circuit. If she wanted the Senate seat, she'd be lying low and doing things locally... And 100% she's been picked up by a group of consultants

Towing is a very predatory and sketchy industry when you let it off the leash, that's not the answer

The answer is to centralize parking around highways at the edge of areas, then make it as inconvenient as possible to drive on the surface streets. Very low speed limits, people crossing whenever they want, and only disabled people can park on the street for more than 90 minutes

Then just pour on the buses. Go very heavy with enforcement initially, and things will normalize.

You have to make driving the inconvenient option

I refuse your defeatist nonsense. There's 3 years left, progressives are making huge inroads into both local governments and the party machinery, and the old guard is being changed out

Even if I were wrong about it, that's still the only way out. Obama-like means nothing changes, Biden was Obama-like - we didn't recover from Trump I, Biden just stabilized the new normal and insisted it's fine now.

We have to demand better, starting now. While we have the time

Because sometimes you feel like doing a little trolling, and it's better to ethically source your trolling

The consultants got her. She's going centrist for a presidential run

Obama wasn't a progressive, he just sounded progressive. He had a mandate, a majority in both houses, and what does he do?

Continue everything the last guy did, pass the healthcare plan from the creators of project 2025, and attempt to "reach across the isle" towards people openly racist towards him

If we had another Obama, we'd just be putting fascism on hold for another 8 years. We can't keep splitting the difference with the far right

Excuse you, they have the concepts of record profits

Because he's a pug

The law is fake. Justice is fake. These are ideas pushed on us to maintain the monopoly on violence of the state

More and more, I become convinced in the law of consequences. I think, morally and pragmatically, that her actions were reasonable and a net benefit to society. I think most people would agree with that on some level

At some point you have to ask... What's the value of the law? Why defend it in this case?

Explicit rules are nice to tell people what they can get away with. On a deeper level, we have to decide what's right and wrong as a society.

And that's a blurry line no one should be getting near

Is Jackie Chan involved? The pic doesn't look like him, and it seems out of character for him to agree to something like this

Nah, let's keep her on. She's only effective when she's on the offensive... I enjoy watching her stutter and sputter on the defensive, and she's going to be playing defense for the rest of her career

It doesn't anymore... It crashed like 5x today, and that's not including the times where it froze for 5+ minutes and recovered
