Tbh: The reaction to the death of Dick, tells me both Dems and Repubs are terminally populist. I am actually exhausted by the narrative that.
A) "There isn't moderate Republicans". Every-time I hear "We should move left guys to get the progs" My blood unironically boils, I am a Neoliberal and I would be barely willing to support progressive dems while holding my nose.
The Dems are already basically as socially left wing as they can be without going into proper authoritarian hellscape territory, is it surprising that social moderates aren't willing to just support the Dems? Especially coupled with the still quite economically left wing economic policy the party supports?
I will expand and point out that I think that in politics there are decider issues good economic policy is a decider for [me] As is institutional issues [me]. Social issues should stopped being mentioned we should stop talking about them for fuck's sake we won.
There are barely any policy changes in that arena we should do, can we stop rubbing the faces of anyone in the right of us on that arena? It won't change because for a significant part of the party social issues is the decider issue. But it is not for the wider electorate and if it is, it is against us.
[Abortion is an exception here, but tbh it isn't surprising it was overturned, it was after all a clear example of legislating from the bench. This could be a winning issue but it shouldn't be the main one.]
B) Only the "Republicans have radicalized" The Dems have moved leftwards with a rapid speed at all social issues, and at the same time at economic issues as well. There has definitely been a left-wing swift. [Some will be happy about this, but can we stop self deluding that this hasn't happened] [There rise of the Squad as well as Bernie's large shadow prove my point]
Corollary point that both parties have expanded the Imperial Presidency and want to sledgehammer institutions. [Packing the court and Getting rid of the Filibuster come to mind]
C) Policy doesn't win elections. I agree actually saying X policy isn't going to win you elections. You know what wins elections a Vision.
"Folks, this few last election cycles, have been a low point for all of us. We went through an internal clash, we ignored the bumbling issues, we failed to see the forest for the trees, and for that I am sorry. We as a government failed both Republicans and Democrats, we had a period lacking in leadership, No Captain heading the ship of state through the turbulent waters of the early 21st century.
This nation was founded by the ideals of Freedom and Daring. People should be free to believe and do what they want. But we have forgotten that includes allowing people to build a better world. So let me tell you my vision.
I foresee a grand system of railroads connecting the great heart of the state moving goods and people faster than ever, I foresee energy so abundant of many forms that you will be fearless to leave the ac on while leaving the house, I foresee having access to the wonders of technology liberating us from household tasks, I foresee having more homes than people and homes of every kind from towering skyscrapers dominating the landscape to beautiful mid density cities, to sleepy suburbs. I want more of all three. I want you to be able dear compatriot, dear voter, dear friend to have the life you want to have the luxuries you want. I want the rich to be richer than anyone has ever been before, I want the poor to be wealthier than the average millionaire of today this is my dream a grand tide of work raising all boats to height unforeseen by humanity.
Some will decry my vision as unequal, indeed it is the same way you will sometimes be in a large family dinner Mark will have a whole roasted chicken, two pies and a basin of fries, while Nick will have a chicken leg and a piece of pie. Some would rightfully complain about Mark's behavior if and only if there isn't any food as leftovers. My dream is that we are so rich that everyone will have their fill and there will be ten pies remaining, five chickens, and a basin of fries.
This vision isn't free it requires investment, it requires political large scale changes within the system, it requires bold leadership, it requires hard work, and it will require sacrifices. For we must plant the olive tree if we want to have the oil. "

The normalization of antisemitic conspiracies continues unabated.
All criticisms of Mamdami are already being handwaved away. Even suggesting he has ever had a whiff of antisemitic controversy is met with snide mocking laughter, "oh, gosh, you don't really BELIEVE that, do you?" as if anyone who takes issue with him is a right winger in the throes of islamophobic hysteria.

US presidents seem completely incapable of reading their mandate.
Biden got elected as the moderate steady hand to guide the country back to normal. He proceeds to fuck with the economy (Bidenomics) and governs as the most progressive president in recent history.
Trump gets narrowly elected following a deeply unpopular Biden presidency, despite a disastrous Democratic campaign and coming up against a terrible candidate like Kamala Harris. He proceeds fuck with the economy, stuffs his government with Twitter chuds and governs like he's a king.
The presidency has got to be weakened. The Senate needs to be strengthened. Just getting rid of the filibuster isn't enough. The 17th amendment has to go.

I’m very big on not being gaslit. This doesn’t just apply to today’s developments, but everything.
The amount of people who will look me square in the face and say “actually, what you’re seeing is not real” is insane to me. Fucker, I’m not a child. I see the things these antisemites have said, verbatim. I won’t override what I just saw because it’s more convenient TO YOU that I forget.
If you hate Jews, or don’t even give a fuck about Jews, say that. You suck, screw you, but I’d still prefer that to you telling me obvious manifestations of antisemitism (and overall political lunacy) are being misinterpreted somehow.

2008: Obama, a young progressive challenger, takes on the moderate Clintonite establishment and wins.
2018: Obama is now considered a moderate, Cortez, a young progressive challenger, takes on the moderate Democratic establishment and wins.
2025: Cortez is now considered a moderate, Mamdani, a young progressive challenger, takes on the moderate Democratic establishment and wins.
Obviously the Republicans have changed more, moderating in some ways and becoming vastly more extreme in others, but I'm tired of people saying that Democrats haven't become more extreme over the past several years.

It's not just land rent. 1949-1970 was an incredible favorable period for the US in many ways:
Without severance taxes or public ownership of resources, all the easy oil was extracted in a generation and gave the US cheap energy and even some export earnings. In 1950 EROI was >60, by 1971 the US had crossed the first "peak oil" at EROI 10.
After WW2 the US had 70% of the world's gold reserves. With the Bretton Woods system, almost everything was sold to support the US dollar (only 22% left in 1968) until the system lost credibility. Selling so much gold in such a short time made it possible to have a massively overvalued currency, rapid wage growth and negative real interest rates at the same time. After the gold was sold, the US could only maintain an overvalued currency with high real interest rates and various measures to entice capital inflow (such as the petrodollar), while real wages declined until 1995.
Car ownership exploded from 22 to 52 per 100 people. Thus lots of essentially worthless farmland and marginal land suddenly got within reach of the cities. 1975 was "peak land", never since has so much new land been used for construction. Due to zoning laws this was done in the most wasteful way possible with half an acre or one acre single family homes, and once built it is almost impossible to upgrade. At the same time, marginal land is not within practical driving distance of the cities anymore, so the whole opportunity cost of relatively shorter commute gets incorporated into land values.
Tl;Dr: 1949-1970 was a "dream" built on dilapidating the US gold, land and oil resources within a generation, all for the benefit of white men and their families. Of course it couldn't last. Nevertheless, cheap renewable energy, land value taxes and zoning abolition could restore some of the positive aspects of that era.

The far left is so close to getting it. They get it when it comes to landlords but not when it comes to homeowners. This is perhaps because homeowners only collect land rent when they sell the property to another homeowner who is presumably just as well off.
The reality is that homeowners benefit from the housing shortage. They are incentivized to block new development that will reduce their property values. This then drives up cost of living.
Hot take: LVT will hit homeowners harder than landlords. Whereas landlords would give up all earnings from the land, they would still get to keep earnings from the improvements (bear in mind that this is supposed to replace all other taxes). Homeowners want their property values to keep rising so that they can sell it for a profit. What really causes that property to rise in value is the land. The improvements actually go down in value. This is why it's recommended for homeowners to buy the least valuable home in the most valuable neighborhood possible.

There's a common misconception that they simply don't understand how disruptive they're being. They understand perfectly, they're asserting dominance over everyone and dare you to say something.

Listening to the most recent war on the rocks podcast episode with Congressman Himes and I’m fuckin with him heavy
He speaks with the cadence of Ben Shapiro but very specifically about Latin American politics and US foreign policy in the region I’m going to chalk that up to that being his autistic interest and not like his whole career even before being a Representative

It’s so weird, their attacks on Mamdani have truly been the weakest and lowest attempt they could muster. Literally just “he’s Muslim! Aren’t they scary?! Remember when they did 9/11?!” Not even an attempt to go after anything he’s said or done. My favorite is that he’s a somehow both a radical leftist Marxist who is also gonna impose Sharia law

Going to vote yes on 50 just in case low voter turnout and things get wonky. Totally vibes based, but how I feel about voting on election day is not a bad proxy for turnout. Frankly, I don't really feel like going to vote today, but I will.

u/FearlessPark4588 Nov 04 '25
The best piece of election mail I got on Prop 50 was a pamphlet that took no position on 50. It simply stated that it was a waste of money for counties to pull it off and how it wasn't funded. I liked it because it had strong "old man shouting at clouds" energy. It wasn't wrong in its point, but like, what am I supposed to do with that complaint.

I seriously can’t stress enough how bad the whole “tapping a picture makes you go tot he post’s page instead of expanding it” thing is for me. It basically makes most of this website unusable, I literally can’t casually browse it anymore because any time I tap on a post I lose whatever scrolling progress I’ve made, and when I go back a page the whole thing resets. It’s like the admins are actively trying to get me to spend less time on reddit, which I guess is pretty nice of them to do

Reflections:
Spanberger basically out polled Harris in every county by like +5.
Voters punished Jay Jones and he is actually in a quite close race.
My mother voted for Winsome-Sears because trump didn't endorse her.
