It means you get drunk on positive emotional feedback loops built into technocratic hierarchies

when you are a policy wonk you like it

I have still not ever listened to Fight Song. I have no idea what it sounds like. My brain substitutes "The Weeping Song" by Nick Cave every time it's brought up, which I think is probably the best possible result.

It sounds like every other Katy Perry song

i agree with you! i was just in like three different derails at once there and the important thing that a lot of people overlook when it comes to american urban history is that it has a super bad track record of being equitable even when it's being enacted by civic minded and non-racist (for the time) highly educated people with the best of intentions

when it comes to the new deal there were some positives across the program like anti-discrimination statues in employment and wages and such but the new deal completely whiffed on housing policy and straight up laid the foundation for segregation. like housing segregation was definitely worse post new deal than before, and this is something a lot of people don't know

A shitty post? This calls for a dance of deduction.
Why do liberals list the New Deal as an example of the evils of progressive/socialist policy, but defend the evils of mass incarceration, welfare reform, and school vouchers programs presented by centrist s/liberals? :thunk:

Good things aren't possible. So pragmatically you should only get behind things that are bad because those are the only things possible.

it really is astounding how unanimous the kind of people who'd reply to a Tom Perez tweet about the Democratic Party betraying black women are in the belief that the #1 most important thing Perez could possibly do is disassociate himself from Bernard Sanders

like, not even leftism, just Bernie specifically

they are so loving mad that someone ran against HRC

to me, Fight Song never fit Hillary Clinton's campaign because it has the lyrics "Take back my life song" and I always associated that with something more dire like drug addiction or cancer or depression, and with Clinton it's more like "you're not going to take my life away from me by taking away my presidency that it's my time to have" and it's sad
