- ip26 3y agoFigure out how to make it common sense, if possible. E.g. spending bills tend to fail… except when they obviously save more money than they spend on net.
- specialist 3y agoFirst accept reality: yes, this is really happening (despite corporate media concern trolling, err, denials from op-eds and pundits); there is no "winning", nothing is ever settled; we must always defend democracy. Next step is work towards a multi-racial majoritarian democracy. It took generations and billions in dark money to unwind the New Deal, Great Society, environmentalism, etc. Hopefully getting back on track won't take quite so long.
