Everything else aside, can I just say how freaking jealous I am that they announced elections, held "primaries," and elected their government all in a MONTH. Our goddamn presidential campaigns have been going on for almost TWO YEARS.

I had a chat with the conservative mom of a friend today. We talked about a bunch of stuff and I learned several interesting things, among them, that religious conservatives are often PRO-CHOICE AND THINK THE SUPREME COURT IS INSANE. Run on Dobbs. Run on justices and court reform. Do it.

The core issue is here: the 2024 election, like 2016 and 2020, isn't a real choice. The elite political system failed in its filtering function and generated one unacceptable option, out of only two. Everyone understands this, but about half of them have invincible partisan reason to deny it.

I think it might be time to revisit this 2016 @vox.com classic from @volts.wtf to remind ourselves why this freakout is happening:

And not to be mean here, but this is the office of president for the united fucking states. Nobody promised you it'd be easy, and you decided to run again. Sorry, not sorry. It's a tough gig.

I'm not sure if they deliberately want all this attention drawn to every decision or if they don't realize that's going to be the consequence of them dragging this out.

You can even arrest the leader of a successful coup! It takes more effort but it's usually worth it.
