- Just the political issues we all face but are the best "hot button" issues
All that sort of stuff. I'm not minimizing stuff like Palestine of course, but I don't recall in the seemingly endless 2020-2024 election campaign. I don't really think I heard any sort of real "kitchen table issues". I feel like even the most basic political issues have been obfuscated or ignored. It feels like these very political issues have been removed from the sphere of political discourse.
I don't know what my larger point is, but it feels strange to think that for example I haven't heard a single mention of something like higher education costs for example. This isn’t just a dunk on Democrats either, though it is worth saying “get fucked losers”, but I think since about 2020 I haven’t heard a damn thing about healthcare or housing in a real political way from the big two or the media in general.
Again this isn't to meant to minimize any other real problems either, not trying to "this is more important than that", just saying I haven't political people talk about politics all the while not being able to escape the political dimension
Bluesky libs and libs like them have their own uber-lib version of solidarity and it's "building coalitions". And - of course - the concept means people should do exactly what normie libs and the democratic party want.
