I get no thanks or recognition for Not Being Worse. I could be worse and yet I choose not to be. But if this continues perhaps I'll be forced to reconsider...

The internet had the potential to make humans so much smarter and interconnected. Instead, it's dumbing us down and siloing us off. A real tragedy.

My own opinion is that it's good to signal (through words and/or actions) the virtues that you value; that's one of the most important parts of maintaining a healthy community.

"Trump repeatedly promised voters that he would reduce prices to pre-covid levels. This pledge, which he's already walked back, was never rooted in a real plan, but he skated by with help from a press that has spent nearly a decade normalizing his lies."
Trump's walk back on lowering prices is a media failure
He was lying all along and got away with it.

"ABC’s capitulation is disconcerting on multiple fronts. It diminishes trust in media and sets a terrible precedent. Meanwhile, Trump not only suffers no consequences but is showered with money. It underscores that independent coverage is needed now more than ever."

No. RFK Jr has dedicated the past two decades of his life to making it more likely that children will die of preventable illnesses.
The only "good stuff" he believes is that Americans should eat better and exercise more, something every institution of public health already promotes constantly.

Harris had an opportunity to appeal to the RFK voters who just want healthy food and she blew it.
By blowing RFK off entirely, it invited people to assume that Harris opposed RFK's entire agenda, even the good stuff.

Pundits keep pretending that RFK Jr is "anti Big Pharma" but that is just what anti-vaxxers say to make their ideas seem palatable. He constantly promotes Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine, both of which are produced by pharma companies.
When you normalize totally deranged ideas that could kill millions as if it's "being tough on big pharma" you do in fact pave the way for millions to die. This is a direct cause and effect relationship.

One reason people insist that you use the proper channels to change things is because they have control of the proper channels and they’re confident it won’t work. - Jon Stone
The Ohio Supreme Court has nullified the $650 million judgement that multiple counties won against Big Pharma over the opioid crisis.
The court ruled that the state's product liability law prohibits counties from bringing public nuisance claims against pharma corporations.
