atheism is uncool in part because its trying too hard to prove how right it is, wheras agnosticism is like "whatever", but it can be "whatever" in like a bimbo way

worst parts are the way people will assume candidate A is the opposite of candidate B. so A is bad in one way that means B is good in that way, and they can't both possibly be bad in that way. happens in every election

it would actually be an immensely stupid idea to replace biden this late in the game after they've paid for the ads and they won't replace him with anyone to the left of him so whats the point, and biden is still popular with liberal moms 'n' pops and it's such a dumb idea they might actually do it

if the democrats are planning to replace biden with another personality-less stuffed shirt democrat then they needn't even bother with performatively replacing him, just run biden

What Trump and Republicans generally are planning to do should be all we're fucking talking about this election. That's what matters. And here we are on day 67 of everybody with a microphone doing nothing but trying to get a successful incumbent to drop out of the race in July.

Project 2025 needs to be made hugely infamous and politically toxic. Its worst ideas should be trumpeted. Any politician who works in any capacity with the Heritage Foundation should be made to answer for its evil, antidemocratic, antihuman policies constantly in the press and everywhere.

likewise, boomers lean right because working-class people (who lean left) usually die earlier, and also because of AIDs, so a lot of surviving boomers are the right wing and homophobic ones. not all of them of course in either case

I have a genuine theory that my generation (millennials) leans left because the iraq/afghanistan wars picked off a lot of the right wing ones.
