    Condescending right wingers that hate New York talking NYC politics. The occasional schadenfreude is lovely but otherwise it’s a slog.

    It’s 2025 and we are still falling for the “pull up your bootstraps” and “America is better than anywhere else” rhetoric? Basically tantamount to screaming “I’m privileged, uneducated, and stupid”. So disappointing.

    Clear and sobering as always. We’re caught up in a political argument about Global warming and never seem to get past the talking points or the name calling. Thanks Mark.
