  • Virtue signaling is an important act for a minority party. It lets the base know what you stand for and what your opponents stand against. This is something with broad public appeal yet low congressional support (because politicians like monies). It’s something you can hit your opponents with and, with a snowball’s chance, you might actually make progress in passing.

    “I want to take money out of politics, my opponent is captured by rich billionaires. They don’t serve you, they serve the billionaires” It’s an ad that writes itself.

    This is something dems should be doing, especially since the last election was them running away from policy and instead doubling down on how much their policy isn’t different from the average republican’s. We saw how that turned out.













  • This is generally going to be less a doctor problem and more a hospital admin problem.

    Hospitals try and employ the fewest doctors possible to save money, they schedule doctors so they have 5 minutes per patient, and they pack the schedules as dense as possible to maximize the number of cases a doctor is handling.

    Any disruption here causes a delay. A patient showing up late, having questions, or the doctor needing to shit. It all adds up to the fail system.

    There are simple fixes here like extending the doctors appointments beyond the average required time and hiring now doctors, but that costs money and doesn’t optimize profit for the shareholders.


  • It could be that, it’s more likely that this never passes/or is ratified and is effectively a Benghazi or hunter Biden trope that plays well on Fox News.

    My bigger fear is that Trump just runs for a 3rd term anyways because who’d stop him? The supreme Court will vote 6:3 that their hands are tied any they can’t keep him off the ballot. And if he’s elected, they’ll rule 6:3 that “well, the Constitution says we can’t do this, but it’d go against the will of the people and would be hard to unwind so we won’t do anything”



  • This is what kills the ADFs and Israeli whining on antisemitism.

    They’ll call any statement saying Palestinians aren’t disposable refuse antisemitic. Yet, when a guy they like does literal Nazi salutes while quote tweeting shit from the protocols of the elders of Zion “oh he’s just having fun”.

    These are the most antisemitic organizations on the planet. They don’t care about protecting Jews, they care about protecting Israel and will gladly allow an antisemite propagandist in their ranks if it furthers that cause.
