That is indeed monstrous. And yet, I bet you did not do so smugly and while exuding a self-satisfied Saviour Complex... 😜

Too much symbolism here with the vandalism of this statue in Houston. I love the sentiments of the artist to leave the damage and not repair it.

Like... this is when someone is possibly just being funny and making a joke, but then again maybe they're not, and you also can't work out if *you* think it's funny or if it's just absolutely nailing the way you feel after reading the news today...

No, no, no. You are being far too hard on yourself. Surely, nothing you have done is bad enough to deserve that comparison.

Isn't the major point that we really cannot afford another Trump term and the Democrats should have, and could still, do *something* to make that less likely?

Or the Democrats could recruit a movie star. Provided they are younger than Trump and have an unflappable smile, that would be better.

Buttigieg. But they won't go there. Kamala Harris, AOC, Elizabeth Warren. I think someone, anyone, younger, more vigorous, who has been a governor or had any kind of decent profile would be better than Biden. But then, I have thought that ever since the last election.

Maybe disaffected Democrat voters need a "Project 2025" movement - because a two party system which delivers only bad results (crimes against humanity) doesn't seem like a functioning democracy to me.

I like the line about the fantasy people draw around oneself... but also the insistence on focusing on Skinner, not our own victimhood. It's an interesting read.

Though in Oz, we confusingly call the far right major party 'Liberals' which... you know... is a misnomer (at the very least)

Interesting point on the asymmetry that ALP conscience votes are "used for one purpose and one purpose only, that being to permit some MPs to vote with the religious right." Wow, that's S ome D amn A symmetry
