Like 95% of regulations do 99.9% of the work and 5% of regulations create 100x as much work for 0.01% benefit.

The problem with Regulations is and will always be process improvement to infinity. There’s a point where regulators are just making shit up to justify their jobs and not actually making things better.

For a supposedly conservative party Republicans really don‘t believe in the fundamental pieces that made this country what it is, do they? They hate everything that makes it different than just some other country.

America *Builds greatest nation on Earth via mass immigration* Everyone *Moves there at all costs to be in the greatest nation like it says people did in all the history books* Americans: “How dare you! We don’t do that here!”

There's much more to dissuade Democrats going down the final stretch watching them platform a Cheney of all people instead of liberal voices. It confuses the casual electorate - imagine turning on the TV down the home stretch and you see an heir of the disastrous Bush political era on team D?

Counterpoint: Trump and his cronies have done exactly this for years with massive success. Mamdani is doing exactly this in NYC. Massive pander outside then narrow in reality is basic politics.

Imagine being this unhinged

The problem with Centrism is the Overton Window. If you strongly message to the center you’re not shifting the window, and when the far right messages way right it shifts the window toward the right since it has no counterbalance. If you want change, go for broke, not salami slicing.

The way you convince centrists to back you is to go so far left that the overton window shifts to your sane policies, not by staying a hair off center-left. If you stay centrist as a party the overton window shifts radically to the right since the radical ideas are all from the far right.

True left like FDR.

Like it’d be one thing if an actual prominent Republican leader turned on Trump and platformed the Dems but guess what? They didn’t and nobody flipped sides to go with it. She was a PR stunt that did more harm than good.

Liz Cheney was a grifter following the winds to her next 15 minutes, much like Massey. Where did her ‘united front’ get us? Nowhere. She had no supporters at all following her to cross the aisle.

Take almost any film and try to make a compelling novel without adding any new dialogue or scenes, you can’t do it. The visual spectacle completely blows away prose and actors give impeccable depth to simple dialogue and concepts.

I remember when this woman was held up as a champion of womens success and feminist ambition.

Media obsession usually equals trouble on the inside. Happy families don’t take many pictures in my experience.

OG is great but its hard to watch a kid show as a grownup

Pacifism is extremely Christian in the sense Jesus surrendered to be tortured to death because he believed it was more powerful than fighting - which was true, but it’s something buttressed by a firm belief in afterlife where we’re judged by our choices. If you don’t have it it’s very illogical!
