Listening to him work the floor now, he knows everyone and has something to tell them about the thing they care about. Its impressive.

Biden's ideas are pretty ancient themselves. But he's not wrong. Fuck anyone who vilifies the poor and minorities. Biden likely won't accomplish much to reduce poverty or help the average person. But he likely won't make any of that demonstrably worse ether. And honestly he's been way better than many imagined he would. Shitty Israel policy not withstanding. Thank goodness he's finally taking small steps to balance out his fuck ups.

I have some big hopes for 2028 if we're still holding elections. Hopefully some fresh young blood will be ready to run. Like Ocasio-Cortez after almost a decade in the house. But to get there I can't deny Biden is the path forward for now.

God damn. What an ending. Thats some legacy shit right there.

He's baiting them to shout out so he can smack them back down, and they're dumb enough to keep falling for it.

Honestly, yeah. This is better than any of Obama's, and Obama's were all great.

Dude, he was squirming hard in that chair lmao.

EVERY trap! And they're acting as if they haven't learned their lesson a year or even a few minutes earlier

Maybe I am dumb but... I am genuinely starting to think many people are fundamentally incapable of imagining complex, abstract potential outcomes (like allowing Trump back in office).

I always assumed envisioning such things was easy, instant, and obvious for nearly everyone.

Several years ago I started noticing a couple of people make decisions that to me seemed insane and later they were surprised by the outcome that I saw coming a mile away.

And I started wondering, could this ability to imagine how things will turn out be much rarer than I ever imagined?

I genuinely don't know for sure. Not like I have a ton of conversations with different people let alone ones about cognitive abilities lol.

Like, I didn't even realize some people can't see images in their heads or don't have an inner monologue (think by "talking to themselves" using language) until fairly recently and I'm in my 50s.

Surely anyone can imagine some vague idea of what happens if they jump in front of a speeding bus. That's simple. Surely you can at least conceptualize that you'll be run into and injured or killed. Maybe even imagine it with some internal video of your body being run over by giant bus tires or being flung from the impact and landing in a crumbled bleeding mess. Nothing complicated there.

But is it actually impossible for some to imagine the many ways Trump and the Project 2025 people are going to fuck up everything?

That would certainly explain the bafflingly cavalier reactions to cybersecurity vulnerabilities I've seen over the years. Or the shrugging off of egregious privacy issues.

The look that says "Wow! Y'all come in the SAME clown car or just you?" 🤡

Her: "I'm a mom"

Her constituents: "Rub it in, why dontcha?"

I put this in the thread elsewhere, but I think you, personally, will think it's hilarious:
