One of the names listed in the article getting paid is Olivia Juliana who famously claimed loudly she was not a shill for the party and not getting paid for her opinion.

Go read the article it explains a lot of the weird unity on pushing Gavin newson from liberals and other weirdness during the election campaign. Don’t let this story get buried

Oh, IDK. You could start by primary-ing these fools with progressive candidates.

And when you've realized why that doesn't work, you can move on to trying to build up a third party, like the Greens or something.

And when you've realized why that doesn't work, you can become an anarchist.

And when you've realized why that doesn't work, you can become a communist.

"The Biden era has normalized illness and demonized mitigations for the sake of “back to normal”. We now live in a country where educated liberals genuinely think it’s okay-and in fact good- that their kids are constantly ill (to be expected given the immune system-damaging nature of COVID). Where leftists argue that killing old people is less harmful than wearing masks. Where concern for community health is painted as cowardly and using the modern scientific tools we are lucky enough to have is portrayed as rude and stupid. And terribly, this liberal political project under Joe Biden has come down like a hammer on community solidarity, leaving “the vulnerable” squabbling with their mocking former comrades. It’s hard to overstate just how much damage the normalization of COVID has done to the very concepts of public health and community.

My beliefs throughout the pandemic have never changed: that vulnerable people deserve access to society, that mitigation must be prioritized, that great progress is possible with great effort, that community care is most critical in times of state abandonment. It’s hard to know where to go from here, at the nadir of a COVID response that vilifies and mocks any gesture toward prevention and care. But for those of us who are still here, education must start from a place of unpacking several years-worth of propaganda, while learning from disability justice activists who have reckoned with their social marginalization for decades.
