Biden’s approval rating sits at 39 percent for people between 18 and 29 years old, according to a Harvard Kennedy School Institute of Politics youth vote poll released in December. Just 39 percent of that group trusts his handling of climate change. (Only 19 percent said they trust Trump on the issue, while 41 percent picked “neither.”)

Before you are two buttons. One of them says "Make lots of money" and the other says "The species might have a chance to survive". Common sense says you press the money button with no hesitation.

quote:

With Biden trailing Trump in several national polls, one of the last things the president needs is part of his base visibly causing confrontation, said Mark Longabaugh, a Democratic strategist who had advised Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’ 2016 presidential campaign.

“For these guys to hold a protest, at this moment, creates a nuisance that can be debilitating,” Longabaugh said.

same as that "make me do it" bullshit, or "get involved in your local dem party" as if you can be elected to any party position, even at the local level, if you aren't a centrist rear end in a top hat who's 1,000 yrs old.

even the libs on DU are full of stories of how they tried to shape their local dem clubs & their efforts came to naught.

whatever they end up doing I hope they never talk about it. (because they're probably doing crimes and they need opsec, i mean)

last year when it came out that the National Labs shitcanned that scientist for doing a climate protest at a conference I brought up in a broader department meeting that if we truly believe what we claim about the danger of climate change we should all be doing things like that. the response I got was basically "you're not wrong but I have kids to feed."

POTUS is an incredibly important and powerful role when it's time to shame people into voting, and a totally inconsequential role when it's time to hold your own Party accountable for anything.

Look it's just a fact that our political system is one in which it is very easy to cause immense harm and incredibly hard to do anything good.

This is why it's vitally important that we protect it.

Now 25, Obama is no Hollywood neophyte: After interning at the Weinstein Co. in 2017, she studied filmmaking at Harvard University as a visual and environmental studies major and then, upon graduation, wrote for the Amazon series “Swarm.” That show was co-created by Donald Glover, who also served as executive producer of “The Heart” and has been helping to steer Obama’s nascent career: “The first thing we did was talk about the fact that she will only get to do this once,” Glover told GQ last year. “You’re Obama’s daughter. So if you make a bad film, it will follow you around.”

Perfect career, no notes.

Anybody seen The Heart? I need to watch this.

Anyway if we're using a criterion like "material harm to human beings", one which I know these historians would not care about, it's incredibly obvious that Trump is vastly less harmful than Reagan or W Bush. It's not even close tbh.

The main criterion is how strongly they feel about them. This has more to do with the propaganda they heard and how fresh that person is in their mind than any actual analysis of their presidency and character.

But instead they're completely convinced that the most important thing right now is to vote for Nikki Haley in the R race. I loving hate this poo poo.

for a while now adam schiff has been backhandedly promoting steve garvey for the jungle primary, who schiff understandably want to run against in the g.e., but he's getting really lovely about porter, who he considers his main opponent, and promoting barbara lee as well:Schiff’s new TV spot uses footage from the four candidates’ first debate last month.

quote:

A narrator begins: “Democrats agree. Conservative Republican Steve Garvey is the wrong choice for the Senate.”

Then the camera cuts to Lee, who looks and sounds solid: “Our Republican opponent here on this stage has voted for Donald Trump twice.”

Schiff doesn’t spend much time on himself: “Mr. Garvey, you voted for him twice.”

Then comes Porter. Schiff’s ad maker couldn’t have chosen a worse clip of her. She looks agitated and awkward, waving her hand, presumably at Garvey. And she’s not understandable because someone is talking over her.

“It’s a really clever ad,” says Republican consultant Rob Stutzman. “It features Lee prominently. And Porter, you can barely see her face. … It’s three-dimensional chess.”

A Schiff campaign spokesperson denied that helping Lee was part of the plan. Regardless, it might well do that. And it’s likely to hurt Porter.
