You can do anything! . . . . If you try extremely hard and be frustrated and grumbling the whole time

Maybe tomorrow will be a new day 🙂

The Jimmy-Eaten World by Carl Sagan

Hello

malcolm in the middle ages

researchers warn of sugar-resistant 'super medicines' that could take as many as four or five spoonfuls to go down

(talking to my forwards-facing buddy) strafe over here dude

critics are calling my swag "a revelation"

Sorry, been out of the game for a while (my entire life)

im rapping with an impeccable flow

All good, I saw what you were getting at about the counterintuitive coordination of the Democrats and agree 100%, and wanted to just add my best analysis of why that happens, despite the seeming of atomization within the party structure

Anyway, sorry this might have gone off the topic of the thread, but I wanted to say I agree with what you were saying Jane and I hope I've added some context or value to it.

Acknowledging resentments and directing them into progressive politics is all we can do. I would prefer someone better then Platner. When he ran originally there were too few candidates. Since then, many more socialists have won in sweeps and we don't need to be desperate for candidates anymore.

You can get into the minutia of why one is better than the other, what is productive or problematic, but that, like you said earlier, is the trees instead of the forest. Vast swaths of voters behave in ways we don't have control over. If one wants to sort sinners from saints, go into the church.

Many of them voted for Trump or Brexit, in a desperate bid to see if democracy even worked at all. Many of them quietly kill themselves with drugs. Some of them chose to direct their energy somewhere they imagine more productive, like cheering for elon space optimism, or supporting DSA socialism.

especially if they are a woman who view their liberal education as their one way to rise in society. Since every facet of the post war deal that created a middle class of men is being gutted and the only path forward is compete for education of decreasing value, men are understandably freaking out.

People who have spent their whole lives navigating the humiliation ritual of Party Politics to be next in line for a seat at the table do not want to be passed by a tacky TV rich guy, or a socialist from Vermont, or a chauvinistic mercenary,
