Election Day
Good link back to 2020.
I’m kind of tuning it out as best I can.
Though the debt book I consumed (and I didn’t write a review; bad me) the past few weeks has quieted my worry a bit, but the problem with unfunded obligations is still very real. But that, on top of the real antisemitism floating to the top, I’m really having trouble caring.
Alan Dershowitz, a Democrat for 75 years, described why he’s out on with Dr. Drew came out forcefully against “his party” over their embrace of antisemitism. (And that I still pay attention to Dr. Drew kind of provides perspective about my age. There’s been many times where I’ve disagreed with AD, but he is a prominent civil rights attorney.)
I’ve written here, that I planned to vote for Biden in 2024 until the We-Beat-Medicare debate. Why? Because I still don’t believe there’s any politician who can fix the mess that the Boomer presidents have created. Okay, Biden wasn’t a Boomer, and his handlers were largely Millennials, who wrote pearl-clutching retrospectives about what they’d hidden from the world; see my review of Original Sin.
Is this indifference? Not really. There are still some really fucking terrible people “on both sides.” (Set aside there’s really no big difference between the sides; both OrangeManBad and JDVP would have been Democrats about twenty years ago) El-Sayed. Paxton. Vivek. The DSA House candidates. MAGA. Socialists, Big Labor, but I repeat myself, and so on.)
So, I’m out. I’ll vote against the candidates I really don’t like. And if you, or your business are big supporters of someone or something I really don’t like, please shut the fuck up about it if you want my acquaintance. Or, especially, my business.
I’m going to go visit family this afternoon, and will watch the WTF livestream tonight.
Whatever.
