Ill get dragged for this, probably, but there's parts of Hamilton I think are pretty good, but I remember listening to this first section of the show and thinking, "wait, this is how the musical everyone loves starts? Is it going to be three hours of this?" I don't think the show really hits its stride until George Washington shows up.

Talking again of Hamilton, I think it's really funny that one of the major themes of the show is politics as pursuit of power for its own sake versus politics as a means to change the world. Liberals go gaga for this despite the fact that by any realistic measure, *they* are Aaron Burr. Beto might as well be saying he wants to be in the room where it happens. They even kill the guy in the show who stands for meritocracy and political action! Hamilton was all in on finance capitalism, but within the logic of the show, he's the progressive force overthrowing the old order. Strip away the particulars, and Burr and Jefferson represent mainstream liberalism and conservatism working together to destroy a threat to the status quo, i.e. communism. Miranda doesn't intend this, but he has to borrow from the same tropes as anyone else, so the liberal propaganda actually ends up echoing modern politics in an extremely unflattering manner for Democrats. In the hands of a better writer, that tension could have really shown, but alas...

What no concept of material conditions does to a mf Willa Rogers posted:why wait? I like this a lot, actually. It's rare to see a politoon with a funny, compelling metaphor anymore. I'd tweak it just a touch to have Trump escaping the pig pen, but "Trump is unstoppable" isn't quite what they are going for, even if that's the energy of this scene.

cross-posting from P/I:Pener Kropoopkin posted:https://twitter.com/SenSanders/status/1746584278505345111?s=20 Tapper: "you are trying to force a vote in Congress that would direct the US State Department to look into whether Israel is using US equipment or assistance to violate human rights standards in Gaza" Sanders: "if American military assistance is given to any country, [...] it has got to be used consistent with human rights, international human rights standards, and American law" okay I'm sorry but I do not like this. I mean yes the IDF is bombing whatever it wants in Gaza, and yes, they are violating human rights standards as they do so, but "only" bombing Gaza in a way that is consistent with human rights standards (as I'm sure such a definition exists) is still bombing Gaza.

Biden is going to be one of the least consequential domestic presidents in recent memory. His "signature" pieces of legislation: -the covid relief bill, all of which were temporary extensions of welfare program expansions that had already happened under Trump. All of which are now gone. Not to mention Biden owes all of us $600 still -the infrastructure bill which, if implemented exactly as written would be wholly inadequate to actually restore infrastructure nationwide. But because it's a series of "public-private partnerships" (aka giveaways to private capital), it won't even be implemented as written and will fail -the Inflation Reduction Act, a severe watering down of the agenda Biden pretended to support, which amounts to a couple of meager climate subsidies that are completely negated by the US continuing to ramp up fossil fuel production The economy "recovered" under Biden because it was already "recovering" from the covid drop, before he came into office. The vaccine program was inherited from Trump and essentially complete by the time Biden came into office. That's just domestically. On foreign policy he might be one of the most destructive presidents ever.
