    Imagine Obama or Biden, or Harris, doing this!

    Everything about this is like we have all been force-fed industrial strength hallucinogens. That YMCA played by the murderous Saudi prince after that fawning display… WTAF world are we living in any more?

    If this was the Matrix I’d be demanding to be unplugged right now, and promptly throw up on the floor

    Yep, the right peddles sexy chest-beating wishful thinking and conspiracy theories which sells itself, the left has to sell the actual hard work that is needed - and yes frequently leans into chasing stupid celebrity endorsements and fluff and getting bogged down in the weeds or getting tripped up by well-meaning labels that get twisted used as battering rams against them like DEI, Woke, Socialist, etc.

    Unfortunately we cannot win by being as bad as them, that is the burden of being on the righteous path of fairness, logic and reason.
