Democracy is broken. Correctly pointing out a candidate’s age makes them a liability isn’t a problem for democracy. Having the only viable candidate be a liability is a problem. The system doesn’t work. My vote doesn’t count, it hasn’t for the entire time I’ve been a voter. I am not represented by this government. I do not choose to consider myself beholden to its illegitimate and clearly self-serving and self-perpetuating rule. Arsonists at every level of the fire department.
Are you from one of the states that has less electoral college votes than any margin of victory in presidential election history, or are you one of the voters who’s not in a swing state and votes against the rest of your state?
Gotta love how theres multiple ways for your vote to not make an impact in this system. Im sure there’s more than just those too.
I’m not saying Krugman is wrong, but he’s pretty much always deeply worried for America. I can’t think of a time when Krugman was not deeply worried.
Same.
I’ve been deeply worried since Bush was elected for a 2nd term. Now that Trump could win a 2nd term, I kind of stopped worrying. But that is NOT a good thing, it’s because I’m just about to give up hope for USA. It’s way to stressing to hope things will go well in USA, when they fuck up over and over again.
Republicans are turning “America first” into “America alone”.This is the best summary I could come up with:
As most people know by now, Robert Hur, a special counsel appointed to look into allegations of wrongdoing on Biden’s part, concluded that the president shouldn’t be charged.
But there’s perception and there’s reality: As anyone who has recently spent time with Biden (and I have) can tell you, he is in full possession of his faculties — completely lucid and with excellent grasp of detail.
Biden’s technology and climate policies — the latter passed against heavy odds — have produced a surge in manufacturing investment.
They’re frequently rambling word salads, full of bizarre claims like his assertion on Friday that if he loses in November, “they’re going to change the name of Pennsylvania.”
As I also wrote last week, Trump’s speeches make me remember my father’s awful last year, when he suffered from sundowning — bouts of incoherence and belligerence after dark.
But like it or not, this is going to be a race between Biden and Trump — and somehow the lucid, well-informed candidate is getting more heat over his age than his ranting, factually challenged opponent.
The original article contains 943 words, the summary contains 179 words. Saved 81%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
This is a terrible summary. It switches halfway through from talking about Biden to talking about trump without saying so.
