Apparently people aren't excited about spending $56,000 per ticket to attend a World Cup game.
Hmmm, what else could be contributing to a lack of hype?

Under CUSMA/USMCA, automotive emission standards are largely aligned and harmonised across North America. Trump's desecration of decades of progress will regressively impact human health in the U.S. Canada will have to put up trade protections to maintain basic air quality and health standards.
“The U.S. no longer has emission standards of any meaning,” said Margo T. Oge, who served as the E.P.A.’s top vehicle emissions regulator under three presidents and has since advised both automakers and environmental groups…
“Nothing. Zero,” she added. “Not many countries have zero.”

I'm sorry, but this is obfuscation. The reality is simple.
Trump and his adherents are fascist white supremacists aiming to destroy every good thing in America.
If you look at a choice between them and a Democrat - any Democrat - and go "eh, not left enough, I'll pass" you are a child and a fool.

I've seen a bunch of this online, mostly from people less credible than Stancil. I've been a union organizer for almost 30 years and worked on every election in that time period. (I also voted for Harris and protested the genocide.) Posts like this fail to grasp 3 universal truths about elections.
The reason people are concerned about lefties saying “I won’t vote for a moderate Dem” isn’t because they want Newsom. It’s because lefties keep not voting for moderate Dems!
I think all the scolding about it being years til the primary would hit a little harder if WE DIDN’T JUST GO THROUGH THIS

I don’t know who needs to hear this but listening to an audio book absolutely counts as “reading” a book.
In fact, I’d argue that listening to an author read their own work aloud is an exceptionally magical and even holy experience.
