It’s a little late now that there’s camps, sure. If people had refused harder to put up with shitty democrats in the past, like… decades past… then the dems would’ve lost to past republicans who weren’t quite dictators.

In that alternate past where the dems actually lose for being center-right corporatists, they would’ve had to get some kind of spine or plan or… something… earlier to protect our public news and education from authoratarian misinformation and maybe prevented this bullshit.

In this current world that we actually have though… I mean you saw we elected Biden, right? And you saw how much good that did – right? We need somebody on our side with some teeth and rolling over for milquetoast donation collectors is not going to get it for us.

If we’re restricting the competition to craft beers and wood-fired pizza, Austin is not running at any competitive disadvantage. They will go hard.

If you want to open the field to, say, west coast fresh variety, with your Cambodian-Somali fusion cuisine and sushi etc, then you have to answer some difficult questions about barbecue as well.

I am ready for this competition.
