Careful, people might start thinking you can teach Democrats to do better by making them l~~o~~ose.

You can't win the medium that is owned by the opposition. Bottom line is they will enforce their rules (and make new ones) against any successful leftist strategy on the platform. And conveniently ignores those same rules in regards to the right.
Lot's of good responses here.
It's not just money they accumulate, but the capacity for violence. In the past when money wasn't enough to get what they want, they sponsor a coup or a harassment campaign or assassination. If they have a monopoly on (state) violence then they can just give their workers company scrip in place of money to spend at the company stores for essentials. They've done it in the past and this time around it might rhyme with crypto. As long as their police have their needs taken care of and get some extra perks, they will gladly bust skills to break those pesky union upstarts.
Seems I guessed that right from the headline. There's plenty to shit on, like their soldiers being sent to the Ukrainian meat grinder. But when you see "country bans cheap food" or "country requires kim jong haircuts for everyone", don't be gullible.
Eztv is good enough for me anyways
If effort is the only cost, then yes. If political capital in the form of bipartisan goodwill is your concern, they should not have fought Kavanaugh or any appointment where the odds aren't better than a coin toss.
Usually there's one degree of separation from a billionaire with the appointments. This time it's just straight up billionaires running the government.
Hot take: the Venn Diagram of people saying fighting is a waste of political capital and those saying people who didn't vote for Harris consented to Trump's agenda is a perfect circle.
Was fighting the Brett Kavanaugh appointment a waste of political capital?
Fuck that. Fight even if you're going to loose because it literally costs them nothing to fight it.
People should read the first chapter of "The Ministry for the Future". People will start dieing by the millions due to heat waves, it's going to happen even if we stop burning oil now because of how long the feedback loop takes. Drilling more lengthens this trend into a future where billions die.
Let's be real, they're not axing it because of diversity, but rather the two words that follow (Equity and Inclusion) are an anathema to share holder value.
