its j school so who cares and all workers deserve tenure, but i assume this mostly fucks with NHJ's pension because she's getting a five year contract instead and i don't think anyone believes she'll still be teaching one seminar course a semester there or whatever five years from now either way

i doubt biden's even lucid enough to understand the policy decisions being made. this is mostly being fought out at the staff level and biden's staff contains multiple people who think the obama administration hosed up the recovery act, bernstein and klain most notably, and nobody who thinks they hosed up healthcare.

i figured that leahy had set up molly gray (the mayor pete of vermont) to replace him in the next election but this is much funnier

My favorite thing that I learned from Joementum is that Bernie is the Junior Senator from Vermont.

Leahy is the last of the "Watergate Babies", the wave of Democrats elected in '74, still serving in Congress.

He replaced George Aiken after Aiken retired. In his last campaign, Aiken spent $13 and won 60% of the vote against... also himself... from people who wrote him in on the Democratic line.

Leahy's also the first, and only, Democratic Senator from Vermont.

what is their loving obsession with this sexmonster

there was a time that being a "progressive democrat" meant having the politics of franken, howard dean, and markos and there are people of a certain age who've invested a lot in calling themselves "progressive democrats" who'd really prefer that's still what it means

this race was never close, but a bunch of journalists pre-wrote "dems need to get tough on crime" pieces a couple months ago and they didn't get to use them when krassner won his primary, so they were trying to wish a dem loss here into existence so they could finally hit publish.

a lot of this discussion is premised on the incorrect assumption that it is only Manchin and Sinema holding things up in the Senate, when they're really giving cover to a majority of the Democrats in the Senate who agree with them. that's why nothing would change if you added five more manchins. we already saw that play out in 2009 when there were nine more manchins.

it's also why you can't quite compare what's happening in the house.

Exactly, MattY is just another dipshit who can only conceive of politics as a TV show so he has completely bought into the media framing that Manchin and Sinema are holding things up because of their wacky crazy personalities and not because they are part of a sizable contingent of far right democrats who don't even want to do any of the bland poo poo that the center-right dems want.

Surely if we just elect some ~normal~ fash-lite dems they will listen to reason!

matty knows better, he wrote about all of this a decade ago, but his one skill is adopting his positions to perfectly reflect the current prevailing ideology. it's why he was a neocon from 2001-2005, a libertarian from 2005-2010, an obama lib from 2011-2015, a hillaryman from 2015-2019, briefly a berniebro, and now spends his days complaining that the kids are too loud and mean
