It can't be real. I do not believe someone exists who would try to sue over the damage of rescuing the daughter he almost accidentally killed.

Yes, that'd be great! I'm not convinced that a younger Dem candidate would automatically get that, though. We need to get out the vote, no question, and have a clearer message than "I'm not that guy."

I don't think I'd be feeling any less stress if another Democrat were running in his place. Pretty much equal, honestly.

Gonna keep urging people to write postcards to voters in swing states or volunteer to phonebank from home. It's easy and every little bit counts and means a little bit less someone else has to do. As long as there's time, there's hope.

Sure, I'm fine with that. The Reapportionment Act just happens to be my pet cause so I can't help but throw it in there too, because so many people don't even realize it exists and the huge role it plays on making both the House and the EC, and the Presidency by extension, less representative.

Electoral College votes *should* be closer to democratic representation because they = the # House members. Unfortunately, no Congress has undone the cap placed on representative #s in1929, effectively making the People's House, and the EC, as unbalanced in people power as the Senate.

Achievement unlocked! Last year, my friend Jen and I made a pact to enter poetry in the Alameda County Fair. We both barely made the deadline in May . . . but we achieved matching silver ribbons! I think we can safely add "poet" to our writer resumes, now.

Just down the street from the rental house is a house with 2 dogs. One is a basset hound. It climbs up the little rock wall there and sits in the top of the playhouse. It takes the slide down. It is adorable.

There. Now can we please stop with the media-driven panic about Biden and get our focus back where it belongs? Direct your fire at Trump and the GOP. You know — the ones threatening to turn the American democratic republic into a theofascist dictatorship.

Y'all are aware that the ONLY reason Biden wasn't able to deliver on his initial promise of student loan forgiveness on the scale he wanted to was because the Supreme Court shot it down, right? And that he still managed to forgive over 100 billion despite this?
The lack of awareness is nuts.
