Unrelated, but it brings me no pleasure to point out that Andy’s skepticism looks to have been warranted by the news out of France. Need another ep with Henry soon

I’ll try to remember how much better dems are for a bureaucratic labor movement when the NLRA gets repealed with them in power and they do nothing except maybe force more striking workers back on the job.

I say this in light of sentiments like Chuck Schumer's in 2016: “For every blue-collar Democrat we lose in western Pennsylvania, we will pick up two moderate Republicans in the suburbs in Philadelphia, and you can repeat that in Ohio and Illinois and Wisconsin.” And the fact that Democrats have abandoned hard-to-win legislative seats, leaving an astounding amount of Republican seats to go uncontested, particularly in Red states. This is where issues like reproductive health for women, police brutality, labor issues, and trans-rights really meet reality. If they cared about those issues, they would be fighting for those seats.

I'm starting to think "we're not going back" means they are moving to the right, and they aren't going back to any leftist politics. When Trump tore up the GOP, Democrats took that opportunity to be the new Right with all the technocratic implementations they've been developing over the years. It's a nightmare.
