This is actually a good example of why the customer model is wrong.
I wouldn't have chosen poetry writing, but UNC made me take a class. And it absolutely made me become a much better writer, with an eye to concision and an ear now trained to the rhythm of words. I'm a better historian as a result.

If you are providing me with an education that is low utility in the world then it’s a disservice. My composition class spent four weeks on poetry. I’m sorry, but that only would’ve been useful if I wanted to be a poet. I don’t need to know iambic pentameter in order to be a victim advocate.

So. Rep Crockett announced her TX campaign for US Senate.
Good.
Voters get a choice in the primary. They can research the candidates, find their positions on issues and choose.
She's getting ultra-gerrymandered out of her Rep seat, so why not take the shot.
It's a primary. Not a coliseum fight.

If you chose not to vote for Kamala Harris, regardless of what state you live in or your reasons why, you have partial responsibility for the horrors happening now.
The responsibility is more diffuse than in 2000 or 2016, but it still exists for every single non-Harris voter.

The Supreme Court, Presidency, Senate and two party system are all quite anti-democratic institutions as presently constructed.
Our institutions are not only incapable of preventing tyranny—they’re currently enabling it.
