This just reminded me of Andrew Yang's podcast. I listened to a few (IDK why, I guess I hated myself for a minute) and it was just him yammering and not letting his guests get a word in edgewise.

Say it with me, folks: Election polls don't matter in June! Even if they're after a debate! If you're anxious and scared, do us all a favor and ignore the horserace polls and punditry until September. At least. (And ignore the op-eds in perpetuity.)

He's Catholic. He believes he has a soul left to lose. Not saying I understand that belief, but I acknowledge that *is* his belief.

Ok, y'all. Biden is a Catholic. He believes in heaven, hell, and an eternal soul. He's not going to start ordering assassinations. 🍊 OTOH... Yeah, we can't let Trump back into office.

IDK, his edge lord takes annoyed me enough that I stopped listening to his podcast and dropped him on Twitter years ago. I don't know what he's done recently, but sounds like he's just gotten worse. And don't get me started on MattY... bleck.

I'm currently frustrated with someone who doesn't want to walk a whopping 5-6 blocks to work (in order to use a free lot, since their work is about to start charging for parking). They have no mobility issues. They're very angry about paying to park, of course. (City, where free parking is rare.)

I think Whitmer would be an amazing VP choice for Harris, in the scenario where Biden fully resigns before the convention putting Harris in the pres position. Total pie in the sky, but it would make this race so much more heartening and hopeful.

First post-debate poll is out. It... barely made a dent, and that's amongst people who actually watched the debate. Ofc coverage over the next week or so could shift things further, but I think a lot of us very online people are living in a different bubble than the average voter.

I know it's a long shot, but if Biden stepped down in favor of Kamala Harris, and the convention was low drama, it would inject a lot of energy into this race. My only question is whether younger and/or more progressive voters would support her.

You can microwave a spoon. Learned this once when a kid accidentally left one in their bowl with no explosions, and I had to go look it up. Fork tines allow the electricity to spark across while spoons don't. (YMMV, please don't try this at home )

Wait, did we? I thought we lamented the fact that generational wealth only benefited a few, very similar-looking people and kept them in power. Parents passing down their house, business, etc. in a fair system should be seen as a good thing. Supporting your kids is not inherently evil.

I'm watching Downton Abbey. Different time, same basic premise of rich, white people doing rich, white people things with some of them rebelling in inevitably pointless ways. I'm actually just getting more angry... Maybe Bridgerton???

Someone who is working multiple jobs to keep afloat and can't afford the time it takes to become truly knowledgeable about the candidates. They hear sound bites, if anything. Shitting on these people does no one any good. Instead, let's try to create a world where folks have time and opportunity.

At the end of the day, I don't need to be excited about the top of the ticket to be excited about this election. The presidential election is a root canal. Unfun but probably important not to avoid. DOWN BALLOT IS WHERE IT'S AT! Let's codify abortion! Let's kick these bitches off school boards!

When asked, we might have said we really wanted a home with XYZ, but that was after we'd filtered out everything that was too far away. I think a lot of people are filtering for abortion before talking about anything else.

Completely agree. Polls are not getting at this right now, and I think it's like when we moved and were making decisions. Certain things were complete non starters, e.g. commute. Every decision we made was with those primary considerations in place, so we moved on to things like no of rooms.

I don't think it's a garbage country. I think it's a decent country struggling under a system that hasn't been rewritten in hundreds of years and no longer serves us, but requires a super majority to change.

Okay, I will be voting based on the VP more than I usually do this year. In the end there are some very basic things (reproductive rights, LGBTQ+ rights, anti-racism, support for working people and families, etc.) that will guide my vote far more than tonight's debate.
