Excellent breakdown imho.:-)

My highest karma item has about 200 upvotes. Let’s see, theirs… Holy crap I didn’t even know the numbers went that high!? 🤗

Preemptive: take what I’m saying with a heavy grain of salt, obviously and as always.

The true liberals will vote Dem no matter what - Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, hell this group would vote for Pete Davidson at this point!

The true conservatives… same, mostly. Unless the liberals advanced someone like Liz Cheney or Mitt Romney, who may be able to chip into that? (This is when we finally stop pretending that liberals have any options in this race, midway between neoliberalism and outright fascism.) Bc just like Dem != liberal, but differently, Repub != Trump-er.

There are probably like 5-100 people in the middle somewhere, but bc they live in swing states somehow determine the course of the entire nation. Would this be a time to be risky and advance AOC - as a young, passionate, genuine person, since the votes of neither liberals nor conservatives are likely to be affected either way? Except the old money probably worries too much that they could not control her, whereas both Trump and Biden have been vetted in this regard.

Okay but… worse than Biden is already doing?

At this point is there anyone, anyone at all, who isn’t merely voting for “not Trump” on the “left”?

Conversely, there are a few on the right who actively like Trump.

And there may be a handful of people - in key spots though - who may vote for a younger candidate?

That’s the thing: Trump is playing to his base, whenever he is rude. It is unfair that liberals demand more from their candidates than conservatives but that is the way that it is. Knowing this, someone could aim to win, or else they could… not, I guess.

It seems to be really well thought out. Like the original meme is nice too:

But would be a lot of paint that would flake off easily so the above design looks like it would work much better for a shirt:-).

And since this is Chidi:

Imma ultimately decide:

Dark Darth Brandon could do it, I’m just saying… 😇

Long-term: facing them and dealing with the source. e.g. I would get nervous about job interviews, but like… as I should, right!? Bc it means that I care about the outcome. Nothing will ever reduce that, except experience doing it over and over, but in the meantime that fight or flight response “helps” to go over everything, e.g. to practice and prepare in all the various ways needed.

Short-term: reading a new/old 400pg tome for an introduction to some random topic… 😜

Maybe it was a joke from him back then too? I don’t recall the context, just thought it was funny here 🤣.

Voice? Face? O-o-oh, right…

But just to imagine, as a joke…

I think, uh… I think…

Cashing in to make a buck.

That’s what they want you to think! 🤔

Then it sounds like you have a project in front of you, to find a way to make it happen at home!? :-P

Oh really?

Well, now I just appreciate all the more your sending me that one, kind person:-).
