@taylorlorenz thanks for sharing. This captures so much of my frustration. I watch my family and coworkers going everywhere unmasked, expecting me to do the same, and it’s just like, how do you think everything is normal? Do you not understand you are signing up to be repeatedly infected and what that is going to do to you?
“If the left wants to win, this election year and beyond, they need to set themselves apart from Republicans in their stance on Covid, modeling themselves as supporters of science and public health. It is not only a public health issue but a class issue, with ramifications for health care at large and the overall well-being of society.” https://newrepublic.com/article/177849/biden-democrats-covid-pandemic-2024?utm_campaign=SF_TNR&utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=social
Democrats Can’t Keep Ignoring Covid in 2024

A sudden surge of the virus is a stark reminder of two things: The pandemic isn’t over, and it could be part of the referendum on the Biden presidency.

The New Republic
@georgetakei If there is only one choice, then this democracy is a sham. I’m not voting for a pro-cop, pro-Israel, 80-year old who told everyone to take our masks off. Not-Trump is not enough.
@TruthSandwich @NerdRage42 @georgetakei you seem very serious about seeking to understand.
@bruinspiration my 9th grader caught it on Friday (day 6). Family members who call me crazy and felt even testing her was unreasonable were “so surprised” and in the same sentence wanted to send her back this week. Fortunately, even the TX school won’t let her return until next week, so I don’t have to be the lone bad guy.
@nothingtoseehere @novid Sorry to hear this. I have to do this soon and am dreading it. Hope you have managed to avoid it.

@GreenFire @chas @georgetakei

It really is a great accomplishment given the senate/house we had to work with.

It’s nowhere near enough. This needs to be all hands on deck, but far too many powerful people are dooming us all.

@wdlindsy looks good, thanks for the recommendation.

@CDeorum @Frances_Larina @georgetakei

Clearly this is all Frances’s fault.
