Oof, accurately describes what would be necessary for Dems to pull themselves & the country out of their accelerating nosedive ... and it really doesn't sound like the kinds of things Dems do.

Brian notes something I've been absolutely stewing about: we found out last week that Trump knowingly exposed dozens of people to the virus, including Biden, & Biden just airily dismissed it so now it's already down the memory hole. What the absolute unholy fuck.

It's like a joke at this point. Trump *literally, physically tried to kill his opponent* and even that won't stick in the news. Even that Dems won't go after. I'm tired of asking "what would it take?" It really seems like there's no limit, no brake on all this.

David, sometimes I feel The Onion News does a better job of covering establishment Democrats.
And, if the Republicans had the Senate, this would be a "mandate."
They need to get behind social welfare policies along with the American can-do spirit with climate change and "jobs in the 22nd century". But they can't sell that latter, too pretentious, and theyll do literally anything but the former
Jeez do you have anything for us other than helplessness and defeat?
This is because the only real choice we are ever offered at the ballot box is between monsters and cowards. Every four years, exercise your right to choose between horror and disappointment. Enjoy democracy.
