This, I believe, is the actual reason for Biden’s weak numbers relative to 2020. We were told democracy was on the ballot and he would solve the threat, only for us to be in even greater danger 4 years later, with no answer except the one he gave us before

Not to be corny but I do think the ongoing aspiration to make America a pluralist democracy of equals is righteous, beautiful, and worth honoring, even if it has more often been the struggle of minorities & dissenters than the policy of the government. 🇺🇸

The Democratic Party has no good options because they opted to give the public no good options. This is a disaster of their own making and no one has a magic fix for the catastrophe they’ve created. That Trump could be so well positioned is an unthinkable failure of politics.

The Court has purported to strip us of all legal recourse for crimes committed by the most powerful person in the nation. Each and every one of us is now, effectively, at the mercy of an autocrat, who could order our death if he simply made the pretense of connecting it to his official duties.

We got tricked by science fiction into thinking a futuristic city is all about flying cars and crystal towers and hologram billboards but what it really looks like is nice apartment blocks, good mass transit, pedestrian zones with shade trees and safe bike lanes.

Make bosses and owners sad: unionize your workplace. It is frustrating, difficult, risky, and takes forever, but the feeling of joy at forcing them to treat you with with even a shred of respect and dignity, which so obviously pains them, is priceless.

One thing that was kind of cathartic would be at the start of the show when Conan would exchange simple pleasantries like ‘how are you’ with Max Weinberg, and they couldn’t nail it without it being awkward and uncomfortable. And I would laugh and be like ‘Oh I’m like that too, I’m not crazy.’

Also it’s difficult to understand how Biden can claim with a straight face that the election is about ‘saving democracy’ when he is so stubbornly unresponsive to the will of his supporters. No matter how much protest to get his attention, it’s like nope sorry gonna stay the course funding Israel.

Reminds of an interview with Peter Buck from REM in like ‘89. He said he hated Bush Sr and this country, and that if Hitler came back and ran for president and promised to lower taxes, he would get elected. I chuckled at the hyperbolic idea…not chuckling so much now.
