Thanks for this TLDR. I'm too high to read actual things.

I used to listen to pod save America but got turned off in 2015. I've always felt they were too much of the pearl clutching DNC type. I like medias more than something like chapo trap house. I generally don't like things that talk about current events though. The ones I like are just preaching to the choir and don't really accomplish things for me.

You're not wrong but any cultural shift like this is enough to cling to optimism. If/when the fast food catches up to Trump and he croaks JD Vance will be the one trying to defend these trash policies. Him (or anybody else) are not going to be as effective bullshit artists....

LOOK HOW DESPERATE I AM FOR GOOD NEWS. LET ME HAVE THIS!!!

Politically this might be more effective play when Dems are the minority party. Not forgiving inaction though. I seriously believe this type of gamesmanship was why dems drag their feet on prosecuting trump for J6.

Losing a finger and losing a hand are different things.

Not making excuses for dems but I am sick of this fucking empty headed fucking bill Maher horseshit.

Get them on the fucking record. Keep introducing it and have it dominate news cycles. The biggest sense of optimistism I had during the Harris campaign was her specifically calling for a reform of corporate personhood.
