deep down libs all want constitutional monarchy with a focus on the "monarchy" part

couple years back I was arguing with my dad, who is a classic example of the modern american liberal - lends credence to bill maher and links josh marshall articles and poo poo

as part of it I mentioned that following democratic principles means actively working to mitigate and eliminate the effects of nepotism and familial ties, for example if the son of a local sheriff succeeds him. the extreme example being, say, the british monarchy: regardless whether people are happy under their rule, a small-d democratic ideology requires its adherent to be against them, because they are monarchs.

he responded by saying that he thinks it's not a problem if a politician's child takes over from their parents, and neither local offices nor the throne of the british empire should take measures to stop it, and why do I have a problem with the monarchy anyway?

there's also that chart where out of leftists, liberals, and conservatives, the world over, the group out of those 3 that most consistently says democratic rule is negotiable is liberals. I think about that a lot

imagine calling yourself "the election whisperer"

now imagine doing that while taking the stance that AOC could have gone so far if she had just thought to hire you to make all your decisions for her, like for example "stop caring so much about fascism"

now imagine doing all that stuff while not immediately exploding from sheer force of self-satisfaction

lol they're going with this uh

quote:

Women�s rights activists and allied Democrats are growing increasingly vocal about what they call the unfair targeting of women and people of color nominated by Joe Biden to top posts in his administration.

Their fears had been bubbling for weeks, as Biden�s nominees of color came under sharp attack from conservative groups or saw their nominations delayed or opposed in greater numbers. But the worries burst out into the open over the weekend as Neera Tanden�s nomination to lead the Office of Management and Budget neared defeat at the hands of a Democrat.

�There's a double standard going on,� said Rep. Judy Chu (D-Calif.), head of the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus. �Her nomination is very significant for us Asian American and Pacific Islanders. I do believe that this double standard has to do with the fact that she would be a pioneer in that position.�

you make a good point that if a very different counterfactual thing had occurred, that would be �concerning�

i guess what i find a lot more concerning is the reality of the completely misleading media narrative that most people heard, a narrative that most people will never hear corrections of, which then allows them to draw every possible wrong and overwrought conclusion from 1/6
