i think the thing that is leading me to check out of the biden conversation as much as possible is the sheer amount of certainty being expressed. i am not at all confident that i really know anything here!

You get the feeling that nobody in charge is smart or compassionate at all. Nobody has good ideas, they are just extracting value on the road to ruin. Not a good feeling!

I will bang this drum forever: in THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE FREE: THE GERMANS, 1933-45 Milton Mayer interviewed 10 ordinary Germans after WW2 to learn how fascism took hold. There was never a moment when everyone woke up:

reading the transcript they are both incoherent. Trump can also just keep coming back to post birth abortion and murderous immigrants which don’t exist whereas presumably we would like Joe to say something more substantive if he could.

I think it’s only 30% of us but I’m pretty upset about the folks for whom “he wants to be a dictator” is a pro Trump motto

Things like policy, power, electoral strategy, parties, and public opinion probably need to be thought about as distinct categories of things more than we seem to talk about them

Wonder if we will see a flurry of reversals, followed by some revivals of nativist polices, followed by the far right using all of this to take forever power soon.

At first it felt weird to me, like being a liar is not the most harmful thing about Trump, maybe it’s a component of that harm, the worldview he espouses, power he wields. But maybe it’s accidentally reflective of the fact that the lies are not the point, that the liberals are also lying.

Honestly Biden, Harris, and Trump should all step aside in favor of my incredibly hot playlist of alternative and hip hop hits from 1984-2008 It’s time this nation was led by a series of burned CDs, each adorned in album art formatted as a Microsoft Works file and printed on a borrowed inkjet

just watched 74 people speaking at least a dozen different languages become american citizens in a ceremony at monticello, where the speakers were themselves children of immigrants. inspiring stuff and a vivid illustration of what reactionaries want to snuff out

Yeah I think that’s probably right, although I appreciate how the advice is delivered to her regardless of what he ultimately needs or does. she has found a way to repair and live a life that doesn’t erode her, and named that the status quo was harm, not peace, seems worth recognizing.
