One of the great indignities of being an American voter is having to pretend that the solution to every political problem is the Democratic Party moving left or right.
In a normal country, the Bulwark would have a center-left or center party, and we could have a left party. It’s long past time.
If I was on the center-right, instead of telling Democrats what they should do, I would start a new party that spoiled Republican seats and pushed for proportional representation.
I like the Bulwark folks, I really do; they’re great at attacking their party’s complicity with MAGA. But they seem to want Dems to become Bill Kristol’s party. He already had a party! They don’t get to just remake the Dem party into the Republican party they wish they still had.
(I have no idea what that link is, or why Bluesky decided to add it.)
If while composing you do a typo that could be made into a domain, BlueSky makes a card for it even after you correct it unless you remove the card specifically! Annoying when done by accident but useful when you are actually sharing a link and want to reserve space for more characters in the post
Thanks for the info!
I’ve done that mistake myself a few times but it’s nice to know the behavior also has good uses!
