Something hopeful: We're 61 electoral votes away from passing the National Popular Vote compact. If, say, PA, NC, VA, MI pass the law, 272 electoral votes will be decided by the national popular vote. The legislative process is underway in those states.

yeah. and the ethical void here is just beyond description. like Petey Baker doesn't vote because that might indicate Political Bias but it's fine for the entire org to hound the president out of office in a fit of pique when the republic itself is literally on the line

History will recall that the New York Times, that bastion of "the liberal media," on July 4, 2024 chose to give prime space on their op-ed page to a theocratic absolutist who argued that people shouldn't vote, even though he himself has voted in the last 2 elections (but nowhere is that mentioned).

Happy Independence Day! This day seven years ago there was a minor controversy as Trump fans angrily denounced large portions of the Declaration of Independence because they thought it was anti-Trump propaganda. It was! We should have taken their response as a sign of how bad things were!

Despite the abolition of #slavery, laws from that era persist in the US legal system – and courts are still citing precedents involving those laws. A law professor calls for these historical roots to be acknowledged in citations to confront and understand the legacy

Notice how everyone is somehow talking about Biden Too Old right now, and NOT about how the Supreme Court just legalized Trump being a dictator for life and gutted the administrative state, and how the Heritage Foundation is now issuing terrorist threats? Think that might not be an accident?

It's good to have all these bad moments because they bump the worst moments that came before them. Like SCOTUS appointing George w Bush president for instance. Never thought we could top that! Then came 9/11 and the illegal war...and war crimes... These are the good times...
