Without even clicking the link, I’ll guess the reason — all the talk of racism makes white kids feel guilty. Again, if your kids are reading histories of slavery or segregation and identifying with the racists in the story, that suggests you’ve got your own problems to work through. Leave us out.

The pretense is always that learning about the history of racism will make (or is even MEANT to make) white kids feel guilty, which is just not how normal people react to things that happened before they were born. What they’re really afraid of is that it will make them feel outraged.

I get why this is the case, but it’s so wild that one million Americans died of COVID because of Trump’s handling of the pandemic, and it’s not even remotely an issue in this election. What a country!

Here's exactly why this matters: the GOP knows that the country is quickly becoming more diverse. Democracy -- allowing more people to vote -- means that they are out of office. Being anti-democracy is a fancy way of saying you would like the return of John C. Calhoun.

Speaking of “don’t drink raw milk”, a timely reminder that it’s not just flu that makes pasteurization the lifesaving innovation that it is.

Also that if you let manufacturers ignore safety, they will, and they’ll *keep* doing it.

I still believe that regardless of what the media says, what polls say, what it looks like or what other politicians indicate, at the end of the day, most voting Americans still don't want Trump. I don't know what that's going to mean with the way our system is set up, but people don't want it man.

I can't believe I still need to say this but... 1. If the election results are contested enough to go to the Supreme Court, you will have president Trump again. 2. Trying to switch Dem candidates at this point, gives another big opening for the election to go to the Supreme Court.
