Hillary Clinton called for MAGA members to be formally deprogrammed. She just doesn’t know when to not talk. First of all, we have no way to do so, nor is it ethical to try to “deprogram” people with a political opinion. Second, saying that out loud only adds fuel to the paranoid MAGA fire.

 

[Teelie]

It really is no better than the stuff MAGA spews with their bigotry and hatred but no, we shouldn't sink to that level either.

I happen to think microdosing and psychedelic therapy should be legal.

But I'm against full blown decriminalization. Too many people use psychedelics as a party drug and they're simply too powerful to toy with.

It's embarrassing how these Purple State governors are showing up Newsom and Hochul, who have absolutely no excuse to be distancing themselves from Progressive causes.

Newsom vetoing all these bills lately is so pathetic, and such a depressing indictment of the state of the DNC that a governor with a coveted supermajority is chasing a POTUS nomination by fighting his own party rather than taking the rare chance to roll out a slate of major progressive priorities.

Newsome wants to be president. And Hochul, well, there are deep problems in the NY Democratic party.

Yep. That's the worst part - That the "ideal path" towards being the Dem nominee isn't to pass Dem legislative priorities, but rather to paint yourself as conservative as possible.
