@XavierDSticklerIf Barbur Blvd was a person: curvy, too wide, useless. Transit, architecture, urban geography. Opinions are that of *your* employer.

The lesson of this election is that Democrats must attack inequality – and not cede working-class voters to Trump. The Democrats must become an anti-establishment party. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Never forget: Kevin McCarthy said, “I'll give you the truth why I'm not speaker. It's because one person, a member of Congress, wanted me to stop an ethics complaint because he slept with a 17-year-old.” That member is Matt Gaetz.
I used to be partial to the "Jill Stein and the Greens are grifters who don't care about power". Then we passed open primaries and ranked choice voting in Alaska. And Greens didn't field a single. fucking. candidate. Not one candidate. Not even for Congress.
Non-zero chance that the Green Party will gift this country Attorney General Matt Gaetz.
"Democrats needed to create a cure for the fascist mind virus circulating in America. Instead they created a sedative, hoping that, with sufficient bedrest, Americans would neutralize the virus themselves. offmessage.net/p/democrats-pl…
Fantastic comments from Pete Buttiegeig today. Highlights: 1) Healthy introspection is starting to happen on how Dems get in our own way, especially on housing (& clean energy, transit, etc.) 2) In trying to prevent bad things, Dems have made it harder to deliver good things
Some context that I think is important: in addition to adopting ranked choice voting, Portland got rid of its May Primary for Mayor/City Council. Voter turnout rates in general elections are MUCH higher, so even with some. undervoting, participation in local races is still way up
Portland’s ranked-choice debut causes voter engagement to crater. 1 in 5 who cast ballots chose no one for City Council In east Portland, the city's poorest & most racially diverse quadrant, it was 29%. 11% of residents who voted sat out mayor's race. oregonlive.com/politics/2024/…
"If what you want is a centrist campaign that's quiet on trans issues, tough on the border, distances itself from Palestinians, talks a lot about law and order, and reaches out to moderate Republicans, that candidate existed and she just lost" ~John Oliver on dems moving right
Because sometimes, a wrong opinion, expressed sincerely, turns out to have something useful in it if you listen for a while. It can open up space to think, if only about how to engage with people who honestly hold that view. It makes you smarter. 8/8
I strongly suspect education, like most facets of this country, is cooked: salemreporter.com/2024/11/06/che…
This is why Dems lose, bc you guys care more about symbolic gestures than actually helping people’s lives improve.
BREAKING: Kamala Harris’s former communications director has proposed that Biden step down within 30 days, allowing Harris to temporarily assume the presidency as a symbolic gesture.
Sitting in an All Aboard meeting and all I can think is this.
Love this trend. Did Trump get more votes? Uh, no, fewer. Maybe he won with black men? No, they overwhelmingly went for the dems. Perhaps with gen z white men... no? Ok then what was it? Oh, the dems managed to lose like 10 million voters since the last elections to abstention😬
kamala should get a break from politics after the election. biden should get sent to a memory care with bedbugs where the nurses steal from you. walz should get put in charge of the new york and new jersey democratic parties and fire every single other person in their leadership
One of the best things Democrats run cities can do is spend the next few years designing their cities so cars are optional. That way as car manufacturing/repair prices go up, consumers may feel less stressed with their pocketbooks because they feel safe to walk, bike, or bus.
We published this piece by Dana El Kurd in @thenation *over a year ago.* None of this was a secret—the Biden and then Harris campaigns simply decided they didn't care. thenation.com/article/politi…
Biden's economic theory was that you can rapidly increase the wages of the poorest workers and the ensuing inflation could be mitigated with a soft landing. This proved correct, and voters hated it so much that no one will ever try it again.
The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born. Now is the time of monsters.
