Was it Reade where those articles came out saying that she was a grifter with a trail of victims?

Yes, the "liberal" media did the exact same that the right wing does when one of theirs is accused of sexual assault - try to discredit the accuser's character by digging up completely unrelated bullshit about her past. It's loving shameful and it made it clear that "believe women" and #MeToo were just political tools.

A twitter user started summarizing the day's twitter/internet meltdowns in May. At the end of the month they turned all their posts into a google doc. It was popular with their followers, so they kept going. It's an accounting of who was twitter's main character on any given day, and aimed at the terminally online.

As strange as it sounds, these monthly summaries by weird twitter people really help keep me grounded in these turbulent times.

Anyone else having a hard time seeing conservatives as their fellow Americans after all of this? I'm having difficulty seeing what value, if any, they provide to the United States.

Working class whites complain about the perceived superiority of coastal liberal "elites" but all they're doing is proving that they're just as dumb as we always thought they were.

I'm getting really drat sick of the "smart" conservatives and centrists who try to defend it as anything more than a wholly evil ideology. They wrap themselves in knots to try to rationalize "fiscal responsibility" as a good thing but absolutely refuse to connect the dots to what we're seeing now, which is leaving people to die of something that's easily preventable. And the worst part is they have Trump as an easy scapegoat for all these problems. Conservativism isn't the problem, it's all just Trump messing things up.

The Biden bus is taking me farther from where I want to be than where I am now (just not as far as the Trump bus). Since neither bus is actually helpful for me, it's probably better to start walking.

e: also really cool how disapproval over Biden's stance on serious issues like healthcare is trivialized as "sulking" like it's a child being told they can't have a toy

Our current system is a two party system until the fundamentals change. Either operate in it or work to change the system. Since that is not happening in the next 3 months you can choose Trump or Biden. The GOP actions of the last ten years have encouraged a harder, more vocal liberal reaction this time around. I am optimistic but only time will tell.

Any serious 3rd party action will be absorbed by one of the two parties.

You have to participate in a broken system because we can't fix it now. Why can't we fix it? Because everyone is participating in it, of course.

Ehhh correlation ≠ causation or whatever, one might argue that that's just because that's where the most people are. However, this is the Trump administration we're talking about so malice is always on the menu.

Remember that a pardon carries the implicit assumption of guilt. So he's basically posthumously forcing the admittance that what she did was wrong. Somehow I doubt that she would accept the pardon if she was alive.

You're on the moon. Electoral strategy is about turnout: increasing it with people who are likely to vote for your person and decreasing it for everyone else. Some messages happen to do both, but they don't literally change people's minds.

Yeah, statistically zero Trump voters are going to be convinced to vote for Biden. At best they will stay home. You've got to remember that to them, Biden is a hardcore radical communist who loves abortions and immigrants and hates guns and Jesus. As bad as Trump is, he's still better than Biden in their eyes.

Every argument for having a minimum voting age can be used for a maximum voting age too. And there are other arguments for a maximum voting age, like the fact that old people won't be alive to see the effect of their horrible policies.
