You can tell they aren’t serious by the lack of local political effort they put in.

A) Jill Stein ≠ left politics B) “proper left politics” involves doing more than just running as a presidential candidate every 4 years funded by the political party in farthest opposition to your political agenda.

I wonder if this development isn’t tied to the sealed box updates tool that rolled out earlier this year.

From early reports I’ve seen it sounds like this is similar. He was a big fan of Nikki Haley and Vivek Ramaswamy (that didn’t stop the Post from trying to claim he was a lefty though).

!ebookdeals@literature.cafe isn’t dead, but lately there have been a lot of duplicates of recent past deals and I’ve been super busy the last month with the school year ramping up.

Only way out is through. The modern Republican Party is dead like the whigs, we’ll see what comes next. My guess is that (if we can avoid authoritarianism/fascism) more of the sane conservatives will partner with Democrats as a more explicit centrist party and progressives shift into their own party if they can develop a better local presence.
