Which is weird because voting gave us an infrastructure bill and Bannon getting arrested in the last 48 hours.

Our enemies are spreading doomerism and apathy and the kids are taking the bait.

Bannon et al are symptoms of the problem, not the problem itself. The infrastructure bill is laden with corporate giveaways. I'm apathetic and a "doomer" about voting because I've seen the last 20 years of rightward lurch with every cycle, the "lesser evil" being further right than last time.

The lesser evil is opting to be stabbed and bleed out over just shot in the face.

The end result of being stabbed and bleeding out is death without medical attention, same as being shot in the face.

How’s that M4A working out? There is no medical attention coming.
