This whole, "sexual assault and harassment is bad when Trump does it, but ok when our side does it," is sending a really clear message that the old guard of Democratic leadership only cares about women when it's politically advantageous.

If you've read that Atlantic story by Annie Lowrey about why ranked choice voting sucks, I'm telling you she's wrong. And I know this because I did something in 2017 Annie did not for this story - I talked to a mathemtician.
Of all the ways to vote, the U.S. presidential election is the worst
There are many mathematically sound ways to vote, but the way the United States votes is the worst.

These last weeks, I have come to appreciate the profundity of the wisdom in the hadith (narrated by Anas ibn Malik) usually translated as some version of "If the Final Hour falls upon you while you hold a seedling in your hand, plant the seedling." Doesn't matter if it's "too late." It still counts.
