I assumed everyone knew this, but

candy desk . yeah I know you’re like “it would be stupid in a tv show if a senator famous for being a libertarian idiot whose ribs got broken in a fistfight over yard waste was infected with a virus from a one-in-a-century pandemic and continued to rifle around in the senate republican’s candy pile”. well sorry Sorkin but this is the real world and that’s just how it is

oh yeah because I forgot to mention, it was Rand Paul because of fucking course it was

article tells me there are, in fact, separate candy desks for republican and democrat senators. the republican candy desk, which is the better-known one, is operated by a singular sugar daddy, while democrats can contribute to a candy fund in order to partake of their side’s hoard

Republicans make confectioners donate all their candy to them while the democrats pitch in to pay for the candy are you fucking kidding me…I had to read the article myself and it’s somehow worse than I thought

in times like these people say things like “we need to throw it all out and start over” which is absolutely true but we also need to divest of all this whimsical shit in its entirety. if I saw, with my eyeballs, a congressperson like, vote against raising minimum wage or whatever and then take a handful of literal candy from a communal candy desk and then hop on the Magical Senator Train to Clown Town I would be in prison for murder.

Why are people so shocked and aghast at this quote? She's not wrong. In most other functioning representative democracies, usually parliamentary systems, minor parties have an actual presence in government.

AOC and Bernie have a very different ideology than Biden and Buttigieg (though I'd argue Buttigieg doesn't have an ideology outside "say whatever gives me power over others"). AOC would in the NDP while Biden would be in the Liberal party, as an analogy. AOC would be labour, Biden LibDem.

Our two party system doesn't mean there's only two ideologies. Instead different, sometimes opposing, ideologies have to exist within the same party.

The United States will withdraw or deny visas to any International Criminal Court personnel investigating possible war crimes by U.S. imperialist forces or allies in Afghanistan, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said.

“These visa restrictions will not be the end of our efforts,” he said. “We're prepared to take additional steps, including economic sanctions, if the ICC does not change its course.”
