“The bottom line is this: Donald Trump is setting new records for himself in term No. 2, setting new records for himself compared to where he was at this time in term No. 1. And he is doing worse than Biden, which is of course a comparison that Donald Trump does not want to be because we all know what happened to Joe Biden,” noted Enten after running through the numbers.

    I would be more inclined to view it as she’s actively trying to dissuade people from helping the patient that everyone knows is sick.

    I think the issue is you’re saying “she” meaning Hillary or Kamala…

    Meaning that because I used the example of a medicine woman/witch, you seem to have assumed it represented Hillary/Kamala just because it’s a woman.

    Is that what happened?

      No, I’m using ‘she’ in the context of the medicine woman in your story, or more simply, those continually suggesting non-support for the Democrat party because of their failings. The math of our system allows for two parties at most in the sense of presidential elections.

      Rather than seeking to push people away from the D’s it would be a far more beneficial thing to work to implement local and state level rank choice or similar system votes. Until that happens it’s a choice of 2 options, and one, while dull and stagnant, is leagues ahead of the other in terms of treating the population with some level of civility and dignity.

        That may be the confusion…

        Because absolutely no one had said anything Bout that till now…

        Rather than seeking to push people away from the D’s

        No one’s doing that either.

        Hillary/Kamala are not the party.

        Neoliberals are not the party.

        None of them have any political power anymore, especially not at the DNC.
