Yes, thank you for speaking up, but the "this is not who we are" approach won't cut it. Yes, it is who we are, what we have become, during this hopefully short snapshot of insanity. We voted it in, and now we're living it. The issue is what to do while awaiting the moment to vote it down again.

look at these grinning idiots in thrall. 2 years from now their caucuses will be blanket-televised so that the rest of us can pretend we give a damn about the opinions of 500 Iowa farmers that gave him a 13% landslide.

depressingly absent follow-up question: "Which protest was that, Mr Secretary?" Sunday morning journalists are more like political-rally hosts.

The need for drama is why, for instance, people propose the otherwise excellent AOC as a presidential candidate, when it's a stone-cold, 101%, locked-in guarantee that she'd lose (despite my early, enthusiastic, resolute vote for her)

Italy has had 69 governments since 1945, thus averaging about 14 months each. No thank you. Regardless of the flaws in all European systems, nobody is gazing across the Atlantic in admiration of an American system that installs an authoritarian-curious Putin-fancier. Twice.

bring on the reluctant, articulate, attractive astronaut/navy-pilot/non-politician who actually knows, and is able to clearly state, what is at stake.

I'll put this as politely as I can. In '28, millions of people, me included, would vote for Harris (again, in my case) - and then we would sit up all night that Tuesday in Nov. and watch her lose. She lost, badly, & she will again. The US isn't ready. Get the F over your ignorant 'selves.

The usual "I'm independent!" fence-sitting nonsense in the face of a slow-moving authoritarian coup. Vote for the non-authoritarian then. You won't find many (any) among the GOP ranks.

"Trump/Vance propaganda is failing". Are we sure about that? - when 42% of Men think it was justified. It might be failing, but not completely.

Press corps tries for 2 seconds to follow-up - then immediately gives up and heads for Starbucks. "wait what about..wh...ahh never mind". Worthless.

His Culture books are the best SciFi of the last 40 years. They're set 1000s of years in the future. Musk has <1% of Banks' understanding of what the future holds.

I'd vote for her, then watch her lose. This country won't elect any woman for president. That verdict is in, jury discharged. And certainly not one widely perceived as more "progressive" and more reactionary than either H.Clinton or Harris. "The polls say..." ohh, I really don't care what they say.
