I don’t understand people that don’t have a passing acquaintance with current events and at least some knowledge of the candidates they’re voting for. Kamala told these schmucks they should watch one of his rallies. I can’t believe there are enough that did.

I see the argument about whether to try to restrain the damage he does or to let all go. Since our side has no control of Congress, the SC or the executive it seems like a moot point. God willing Dems take back the Congress in two years and then maybe it could be debated.

I’m starting to pay more attention to making sure the offices in my state stay blue. I hear people bitching about Kathy Hochul not being progressive enough for them. She’s a Dem and a far cry from MAGA.

I’m almost certain that if I were in my 20s, maybe 30s, with no children and not much at stake, I would have probably bought some popcorn too and sat back and watched everything burn. I would’ve also been unaware of my privilege in taking such a stance.

I know people are angry and every other emotion under the sun at trump and 3rd party voters (3rd party voters are especially enraging) and those whose simply chose not to vote. I am!

However, just watching things burn is an impossible strategy for those of us who have people who depend on us and had NOTHING to do with this horrible calamity.

Thanks for reminding me why I canceled my NYT subscription. I feel dumber after reading David French.
