While some shit may be fucked up, aging uncovers other talents. The ability to sit still for long periods while appearing to be doing nothing, a heightened appreciation for naps, bemusement at the folly of youth, transitioning to curmudgeon...
We failed in healthcare in the 60s giving seniors coverage and killing the push for National health. We failed healthcare in the 70s when HMOs ushered profit-based takeover. We failed in the 80s in so many ways, so many lies that have become canon.
The Employer-based model has failed. Sell that...

Those old white people aren't your audience. I went back and listened again. Clearly, your anger and frustration were on display, but you were talking to a new and potentially wider listenership. You didn't use the vocabulary you preach.

As an "old white person", your take today w/ Bob was cringeworthy. We're worried about our kids, grandkids and their kids... We aren't looking for anything beyond a sustainable future for this country. The lesson we need to take from Mamdani is to give voters something real to vote FOR.

Funny that... or probably not...

Just catching up after a trip. Your little bit about your Dad's information loop reminded me of an old BBS tagline: "In a land of troglodytes the erudite man is FOOD."

Can we gently point out that Wudda is now reversing Saint Ronnie's legacy finagles?

He didn't think starting a new religion would fly. (He already has a no-fly grift going)
All the other 3rd parties are still grifting their scams, so...

Switch? Only if you want to see Reproblican entrenchment. Some of the Dem alter kockers are still effective and know how and why we fight. Some do need to be replaced. Doing it wholesale would be a disaster. For 2026 Dems need every seat they can get and they'll need unified support.

I only question RWR's understanding of what he signed. After being told that there was no fat, waste or abuse to be found, he fell back to his Hollywood script of America. He couldn't "fix" it, so he agreed to break it, so that it would be rebuilt correctly. He read from the prepared script after.

The steps go back much further than 50 years. Before the 1955 launch of "The National Review" there was "Yellow Journalism", the KKK, John Birch Society et al... appeal was limited... by shame? by the memory of people who knew how bad the bad could be? As DG says, "memory is our superpower.
