this sort of nihilism on the left makes it hard to have any demands - why care about trump muzzling the CDC if public health in this country is “trash”? https://twitter.com/sairasameerarao/status/1273439655355088896

For instance, 90,000 Nepali Bhutanese refugees were resettled during the obama administration. Did I approve of his immigration policy? No, but I’d prefer that these 90,000 be resettled (they wouldn’t be under Trump)

It’s a solipsistic sort of self-flagellation - I promise, many institutions in the US could get worse and in many places in the world they ARE worse

Leftists denigrate their potential allies and then complain when nothing they want gets done and they have no political power
