It took a long time for nature to figure out how to process wood, but it eventually happened. My wooden furniture is still standing though.

Good advice.

Everything you said about the administration is spot on. I just don't think it will work the way they want it to. I think the administration isn't holding the tool they think they're holding.

Yeah, consequences like FDR getting elected President four times in a row. That was the last time the Democrats had a popular President.

I'm not sure if you noticed, but America's ability to do much of anything is being dismantled before our eyes. The Democrats played it safe, so voters looked elsewhere.

60 years of unbelievable productivity gains and new technologies, and life has only gotten harder. I think we could do better than that. Bullshit excuses are easy to accept when it hasn't hit you yet.

Yeah, the Democrats have actually been doing everything right and have just had a string of bad luck. Bad dice roles on their voter generator. There is no reason for them to reevaluate or change anything. /s

All that does practically is prevent them from making arrests. It does not prevent them from deploying on US soil, or using force against civilians.

No military force will ever be deployed anywhere with that restriction. They could be delivering food and medicine to an orphanage, and they would still be prepared to respond to any aggression.

Wealth inequality continued to grow under Biden, and the average net worth of black families decreased.

This neoliberal obsession with "incremental improvement" is a fucking plague. It's so easy to blame voters for not recognizing marginal changes, but it's delusional to think today's American voters are any different from voters in any other era or part of the world. Not recognizing that is political malpractice on the part of Democrats.

This pattern that we are living through is the same pattern behind every fascist movement since Mussolini. It starts with a failure of leadership from out of touch liberal elitists.

Democrats stand for absolutely nothing. They check the polls to figure out what people think they want to hear, but they never follow through because they have no conviction. Someone who is passionate about starving children doesn't slow down to brag when starvation falls by 10%. Democrats do, and that registers with voters - consciously or unconsciously. Democrats can point to charts and figures all day long but,without genuine passion, they will always fail to break through.

Voters want conviction. Republicans have it, and Democrats don't. Shaving half a point off inflation won't change that.

Great work!?!? Atta boy!?!? What are ya looking for here? The world is burning and you didn't bother to do the one small thing that could have made a difference, and you think that's something to brag about?

Over 10,000 people have died so far just from USAID cuts, and another 23,000 from the PEPFAR funding freeze. Those numbers alone are ticking up faster than the Gaza death toll,which is still happening BTW. But, not to worry, Rodneyck kept his integrity, and that's what's really important.

Politics is about achieving the best possible outcome, not making personal virtue statements.

It's also interesting that he sees his own leadership in the party as being hopelessly undermined - yet he hasn't resigned for the good of the party. That's so fucking telling.
