and we sail and we sail

Conner—the only living human I have ever acknowledged as a better writer than I . . . though that was some time ago—and me, we were talking that pretty recent time about the arrogance of selecting words. How, every time, when we sit down to write a Libel, we alight upon a first word, inscribe it, and thereby reject millions of others. And, what the fuck, hubris, is that? Every time, in selecting a word, kicking aside, all those millions, of others? Who, are we, in that? God? Well. Yeah.

I've been enjoying the speaker chaos this week. It is nice to see someone, anyone, challenging the system. In congress they called out the uniparty and the corporate capture of congress critters. Although McCarthy managed to pull it out, my bet is he will be weakened and ineffectual Jimmy Dore's "force the vote" concept has been validated by the Republicans. I think it was Saagar who was talking this week about the last time this happened in 1923. He said the difference this time is that there was not a common demand by the rebels. I don't see this speaker conflict as a failure, but a success. As Jimmy pointed out had this been 2020 and the democrats proceeded with force the vote, then MSM would have spent a week talking about their demand for a Medicare for ALL vote.

The "Republicans are better on defense" meme

I'm starting to see this narrative from people that once considered themselves on the left, or still consider themselves on the left, that the Democrats are now worse on most issues for anyone in the working class and/or on the left.
I will refer to this group from here on as the Jimmy Dore Left (JDL), but Dore is far from the only preacher of this philosophy.
