Talking with people at a holiday gathering here in Toronto last night, and when it came up, most of us nodded that we likely won’t ever visit the United States again.
It’s a weird feeling, and weird to acknowledge in a group.

Why did BS stories like the John Kerry swiftboating and Obama birtherism get into major media? Because news bosses wanted to show their “fairness.” I know this because I edited the Chicago Tribune’s first story on Obama’s birth certificate. We didn’t want to touch it. The higher-ups made us. 9/10 🧵

The "left" votes for right wing policy by voting 3rd party or sitting on their spoiled asses and not voting at all.
No. The Republicans base is unreachable. The Democrats automatically lose if they try to appeal to the right, because the right are already well represented by the Republicans, and the left will not vote for right wing policy.
