We’ve talked for years about narcissism, and that’s important.
It’s time that we start talking more about codependence. You can find the characteristics of codependency online. There are some great resources.
One (of many) of these is giving up one’s own values in order to avoid conflict.

Ossoff: "I think Pete Hegseth is frankly a deeply unwell person who seems to relish this kind of brutality all the while he's running a department that is falling into chaos. The guy cannot run the military competently and is spending his time with this kind of obscene medieval spectacle."

This is the energy we need. Not reconciliation. Yeah, we're a divided country, because the people on the other side of the line are fucking fascists. I'm fine being divided from them. And they need to face some goddamn consequences when they lose power.

I’ve had this for years. Personally, I think sometimes the right thing is really hard to do, but the wrong thing will always come back to kick you in the butt. Some people call it Karma , some people call it the Golden Rule. It’s knowing right from wrong and doing what is right, even if it hurts.

Katie Phang on Blanche: What are you trying to hide? Who are you protecting? This is the permissive culture that is created, that is then buttressed by conduct by people like the AG to protect perpetrators, co-conspirators, enablers of crimes. Crimes against children, crimes against women.

It’s batshit to me that the far left think they can win national, statewide, or even local races across this country w/out building a coalition that includes moderates.
I’m a progressive. But I know calling moderates names doesn’t win them over, it just shrinks your coalition.
