If the conclusion is that when Democrats lose to blame the voters, then we are not learning the lessons of our own experience. We are relying on matters outside of our control. I am asking what should DEMOCRATS learn and do differently so they don't have to simply hope voters vote?
How do you describe the taste of light roast coffee that is horrible and I hate it? What is the name for that flavor?
It got us a welcome 4 year reprieve and then fascism came back worse than before.
The task before us all is to articulate a vision of not just how to win elections but how to defeat fascism for good. Democrats who won't do that gotta go.
There is SO MUCH scolding of voters for not voting for Harris in 2024 and demanding everyone rally around Democratic candidates. Of course I will vote for whatever Democrat ends up nominated no matter how stupid, but we DID rally around the Dem in 2020.
Ay what happened to the $100 million in SFPD overtime fraud Dean Preston found? Did we fix that yet? Asking for a city.
It's not important but that hair makes him look like the bully in a 80s high school movie grew up to own a car dealership in Walnut Creek.
I had the idea for the structure of this show the day after the 2024 election. I think we did something special that will be cathartic and inspiring for the people that itβs for, and not even recognizable as comedy for the people that itβs not for.
Saturday was amazing. I taped what will be my 3rd standup album & 1st special , recorded over 2 sold out (slightly sweaty) shows. @wkamaubell one of my oldest & best friends in comedy for 20 years opened the show & talked me through floor time.
if the media had any integrity β and it doesnβt anymore β theyβd be pointing out on a loop that Obama made a deal with Iran, Trump cancelled it because Obama is Black, and then Trump started a war on the pretense there is no deal
Democrats love to cravenly chase what they think is public opinion, except for Palestinians.
I had fantastic sold-out shows in Sacramento on Saturday and LA on Sunday. Excited to see SF my home the 94110 this Saturday for two sold-out shows to tape the thing . I have almost achieved my goal of a comedy set that can definitely end fascism.

What Joe said.
There are some good reporters over there who donβt seem to be allowed to do their best work and an absolute dogshit editorial stance.
ohhhh I didn't realize you published other writers' shit.
Paging Gavin Newsom.
Sadly no. I may have to.
Media literacy: this (common) framing is misleading. $183m sounds like a lot, but it's over 3 years. SFUSD's annual budget is ~$1.2 BILLION and this year's cost is <$32m. So the contract represents 2.65% increase on the budget, consistent with inflation. Big whoop. thefrisc.com/sfusds-183m-...
Wow @sfstandard.com : leading your opinion page with FOUR op-eds against teachers strikes. There was huge parent support for the strikes everywhere I went all around the district. We cannot fix enrollment trends without investing in staff. Who benefits from framing the strike as bad (rhetorical)?
I didnβt watch the SOTU. I assume he said a bunch of racist delusional lies.
Scott Wiener, now running for Congress decrying Trump's attacks on higher education in the name of antisemitism, in 2024 laid the foundation for those same attacks by continually publicly denouncing protesters as antisemitic. One of many such examples: jewishcaucus.legislature.ca.gov/news/jewish-...
Democrats donβt spend a βdisproportionate amount of time talking about pronouns.β Republicans do. The time Democrats spend is solely whether or not they capitulate to right wing talking points.

Last call for Sacramento!!! Iβll be there tomorrow/saturday working out the kinks on the darkest hour tour before I tape it and then retire from comedy again.
