I am not saying anything at all new here, but the situation is unchanged. I'm not sure who I am more upset by:
- The American news media, for clearly wanting Trump and the Republicans to win and get power back. (Did you know that Biden passed several major pieces of legislation last year, and they had some pretty significant effects? No? Hmm, I wonder why... but they will be happy to tell us all about how the Democrats are in disarray!)
- The American people, for probably being about to vote for Republicans who just got a lot of people pointlessly killed and supported an insurrection against the government. (Yes, I know that people vote on economic issues first,and the inflation and gas prices are bad and they are the main driver of Biden's poor approval ratings, along with how Republicans are mostly kind of fascists now and oppose all Democrats. But it's still really awful that people outside of the Republican cult also are supporting that democracy-destroying nonsense.)
- Manchin and Sinema, for tanking Biden's legislative agenda after the first two major bills. (Maybe something can pass this year, I hope so... but at this point I'll only believe it if I can see it. How short-sightedly stupid can they be, wasting so much opportunity for so little...)
