They were written separately but the other always had input to slightly change it until the end when they were totally split. The classic is Getting Better and Johnadding couldn’t get much worse.

Trueeee DSA people totally weren’t Gaga for Platner and literally hated him the entire time!!!

Yet even in a bad year for Dems non crazy non DSA candidates won races that they easily could have lost like NV Sen AZ Sen NH Sen. If the Dems nominated weak and crazy candidates like Hong in those races we easily could have a 56 seat majority for Rs in the senate. Dems really only lost PA Sen that they could have won and that was by like 1000 votes.

Pierre Omydiae is. But regardless even if you don’t accept that, it still ho,ds true because the Tea Party lead to Republicans nominating lunatics who lost eminently winnable races like the Indiana and Missouri Senate campaigns which featured insane candidates like Legitimate Rape guy. This is exactly 1-1 with DSA being so extreme that they’ll nominate lunatics like Platner or god forbid the Hong lady in Wisconsin who would probably lose their elections that should be easily winnable.

It’s completely trivial to draw a through line to Sanders¡ bad faith scorched earth campaign in 2016 to today. He imbued his movement with extremism and the inability to bend or compromise on anything at any point which led to a fractured party and the rise of maga.

He seems like a weak, low energy candidate compared to Shah (who got more votes than Jackson in the same election just a few weeks ago) but because Platner,a volunteer discord is so extremist and also gullible they randomly coalesced around this dude that just tells them what they want to hear. no one was able to out organize them in a few days.
Having said that, I hope he wins. I just don’t think he will.

He apparently fucked a lot so he had something going on

It does make him evil

Calling Trump the best president in his lifetime is pretty evil

You want to punish small restauranteurs and not enjoy your life because you got radicalized by idiotic socialists on the internet

True those damn fat cat restauranteurs are really holding up the oligarchy

No one here cares about capitalism in and of itself, it’s that it seems to be the system that maximizes human flourishing. All other systems are much worse.

The restrictions on building in England is insane if you read about it. Urban areas you can’t build, more rural area basically made it illegal to build anything, and the suburbs have extreme height restrictions.

Surely you’re not saying all regulation is necessarily good just because it’s a regulation, right?
The only successful "case study" with massive public housing stock is Vienna and that’s because Austria is a shrinking country with no immigration so there’s no pressure. You can look at the other end of an in demand city and country with actual growth like Stockholm where it literally takes 5 years to get an apartment.
The actual success case of falling housing prices due to building is the United States. You see cities with stagnant stock like San Francisco and LA have their housing prices skyrocket and other cities like Austin and Seattle with massive build have their rents get arrested or even fall.
I’m with you
