I just heard him on CNN, and he called himself a ‘proud centrist’. Everyone believes their views are the right ones (else they would not have them), and everyone believes that everyone else should reasonably come to the same views (because they are the right ones), and everyone naturally believes those views put them in the center of right thinking.
But Kasich is not in the center. And if he thinks Republicans can cooperate with Joe Biden to accomplish meaningful things, what is his prescription for climate change legislation of a form that Republicans will agree to? What is his prescription for universal affordable access to health care of a form that Republicans will agree to? His comment on climate change was yes, I think we can do something on climate, but not this green new deal. We’re Americans, not socialists!
What he means is we are ready to enact tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations and corporate welfare for oil companies and deal with the deficit by cutting / constraining social security and Medicare and Joe should agree to those things.
Can’t get enough of the street scenes of people going apeshit. What a wonderful moment if not for covid.

Again I very reluctantly agree with Tom Nichols that burning Facebook and Fox to the ground won’t solve anything as much as I’d like to see it happen and see Murdoch swing, but I wish there were actual consequences for them. I don’t know what the answer is. Something else would fill the vacuum to keep their info ecosystem going and these people will continue to wallow in their “reality”.
NBC bravely projects Nevada for Biden.
If Kate Upton congratulated me, I’d feel great!
:(
Thanks for the correction just the same.
(There is a lot of welcome back America sentiment though, which is good to see.)
Apparently real… trying to track it down.
God, I love NYC, Philly, and DC right now (others too)…wish I could be with you folks.
