Sweet Lord somebody please hold this in front of Schumer’s bifocals and for heaven sake make sure his eyes are open. All you AWOL Biden voters and picky eaters it’s too late to prevent the absolutely preventable catastrophe but it’s not too late to intervene. Except it’s too late for yesterday when Adolph Adderall declared a yen for law and order and still not every Dem turned his or her back on the Hell spawn while booing and laughing.GEEZ.

The Republicans are the party of sins of COMMISSION, while the lesser evil Democrats are the party of sins of OMISSION. They are less overtly toxic and violent, but no less dysfunctional. There's a systemic angle to it that has its roots in how the RICO act has been applied over the last fifty five years, but enough is enough. We have techbro "effective altruism" utopians, "there's something else right around the corner" accelerationists, and "imminent rapture" religious nutters. I do believe we're about to see labor movement 2.0, which will straddle the line between the techbros, because development oriented, and the accelerationists, because the masses are quite done with their lives getting incrementally harder each and every year while the rich claim additional trillions.

Brilliant piece of writing, both yours and that of Ms. Marple, who was named Miss Marple when I devoured all of Agatha Christie.

There is one group who is always forgotten when discussing the loyal Dem base: Jews. I’m one. There were defectors this round. They were fools, so offended by the blatant anti-semitism of the suckered Gaza crowd that they thought Donald might protect them. Still, around 75% of Jewish voters, and most of us DO vote, came out for Kamala.
