Here’s the problem with the constant stream of depressing news: you start averting your eyes to stay sane. My first reaction was: “When the fuck did we start bombing Ecuador?!”

You haven’t seen anything yet. The world is going to burn. Sadly. I tried to stop it.

I’m not as pessimistic, I still think we have a 50-50 chance, but it is going to take an entirely new approach by the Democrats, and those odds aren’t nearly as good.

You say that, I think you know as I know that the Democrats will not take that new approach that is needed. They won’t tland trying to get them to do so will only lead to frustration and vitriol, earning nothing but emnity.

We will find out in 2028 when they nominate Gavin Newsom the aristocratic bitch. The midterms will not show us.

The good news is that the ones who tend to be the front runners going in, flame out fairly quick. Nobody starts out in front and stays there.
