Re: The Future of the Democratic Party
Wife and I watched this on Saturday night:
About four women challenging democratic incumbents in the primaries. It spends the most time on AOC which is great because she's awesome, but also because she wins, making for the most heartwarming narrative. There's a particularly rough scene where she debates a representative Crowley sent out because he didn't feel it was important enough to attend. Pretty insightful look at grassroots politics, the mindset of long term incumbents, etc. The other great story is Cori Bush losing in 18 and in the movie, but finding out she just won.

Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

They'll need a translator so average Americans can understand what Marty is saying. I believe I am the man for the job.

This is a very disturbing picture.

I like the old days, when we just thought all Italians were in the Mafia!

What kind of world is this that a man can't use his authority to prey upon and objectify his female employees? Thank goodness JFK never lived to see this dystopia.

That's from the Fox News program "Watters World" or whatever. I guess it's a joke. A good one at that. Occasionally, very occasionally, the right can make a good joke. Usually when the left fucks up real bad and deserves ridicule.
