'The younger generation is really great. They’ll save us all.' 🌎 Mel Ottenberg and MollyJongFast lay out a survival guide for America's flop era 🗽
JONG-FAST: Oh, you should.in 2020 and what I really liked about it is: A, you have a really iconic voice and B, you don’t even ever try to disguise your disgust for this hell storm of America. I’m like, what the fuck, Molly? Look at these motherfuckers. The idea of taking rights away from women for non-humans that don’t exist–I still can’t fucking believe it.
JONG-FAST: There could be worse coming down the pike. Trump was very charismatic, he galvanized the far right. He got the people who don’t vote to vote. I think a lesson for Democrats is that the Republicans did anything to please their far right base. JONG-FAST: The filibuster says that the Senate needs 60 votes to pass something. Now, there’s a cutout for the filibuster for Supreme Court justices. Guess who did that?JONG-FAST: Yeah. They were able to fill the seats without a filibuster-proof majority. Now, you would need 50 senators to do a cutout. We don’t have 50.
JONG-FAST: In my mind, it would be deliverables. $35 insulin. No one should die because they can’t afford insulin.That seems like a no-brainer to me. I would make a rule that members of Congress can’t trade stocks. The Biden administration did a very good job of educating the people on some of the stuff they did. For example, there was a lot of really progressive, amazing legislation they passed like the Child Tax Credit, which brought something like 40% of children out of poverty.
JONG-FAST: She’s very upstanding and moral. She’s the only person who’s been brave enough to come forward. She’s a 25-year-old woman who I’m sure they treated terribly. There are a lot of people who saw a lot who are refusing to testify. Maybe because they’re cowards. Maybe because they’re involved. It’s hard to say.JONG-FAST: I would hope that the tides are turning, It’s too early to tell. They’re going to spend their time trying to discredit Cassidy, which is really too bad.
OTTENBERG: I don’t want to give anyone any money until I understand what I want them to do with that money besides save America. Because it doesn’t feel to me like she’s going to get saved, but you’re helping me.
