many days i vacillate between wanting to fix all the things and just shrugging. people, esp on the left, largely don't want to tackle the key areas we have problems (the media). and there's only so much you can do.
we see stories like the biden campaign being swamped by right-wing noise and everyone's reaction is like: fact checks! subscribe to the ny times!

are you fucking kidding me?
the answer is simple: create noise from the left. but people largely don't want to do that. so here we are, a dinghy in an ocean of shit.
liberals from 2000-2008: the media's not telling our story, lemme start a blog and do that (humble brag: i was one of the first)

liberals now: we don't know what to do. maybe a billionaire can save us?
yes im becoming (or have always been) the cranky guy in the corner, but come the fuck on.

my dog understands counting all the votes in an election. maybe this dog is just stupid.
"count all the votes. republicans delayed counting mail-in ballots that were heavily biden. this is not hard. more treats please."
frankly my dog came up with a polling aggregation model that knew the polls were off, we just didn't publicize it before the election. soon launching 538pup dot com.

She’s a democrat, not a Republican thank God
Most of the replies I’m seeing to this seem to indicate we shouldn’t have a department of defense or some other kind of pie in the sky silliness
Gonna have some interesting foreign policy debates I reckon. That’s been on the back burner for some time now.
