Maybe it's just because it happened to me, but I agree with the Chapo boys that The West Wing is best experienced as a show you enjoy watching in your early teens and then you grow out of it once you learn about the real world

I like the porn analogy because the step after realizing it's not real is wishing it were real then obliviously trying to make it so

The only two movies about politics worth watching are Dave and Head of State. The former because it's laughable how they handle everything politics-related and the latter because it has a bit where his opponent runs an ad stating that Chris Rock loves cancer which gets people to run him out of a folksy diner.

I know we on the left like to throw around the term 'neoliberalism', but describing the Trump white house in the most recent episode as such reminds me that the term has lost much of its meaning.
