a hard communication problem

I think it's a lot like tech support. End users don't care about the details. They just want to hear: I see your problem, and here's how quickly I'm going to fix it.

Most Latinos do not work in the fields. Many of us have been here for several generations. There are many types of Latinos. (Disclaimer: I voted, phonebanked, and canvassed for Kamala.)

I was just extending the bait, didn't realize people would take it seriously. I've added an "/s".

In reality, the Amazon driver's pay has been cut, so they ask for a tip. You don't tip enough so they beat you up. If you could afford to order from Amazon, why didn't you tip enough? Obviously you're not supporting essential workers in these trying times. They're just working hard, feeding you, keeping you clothed, protecting you. But they have families of their own to take care of too. You're not even ordering enough so they can afford to take a bathroom break.

Note: this was meant to be: /s

The more I think of it, I wonder if anyone could have won that election given only 3 months. If Obama had been VP, and suddenly made the candidate, could he have done it? Could Hillary have won it? John Kerry? Maybe, but it would have been a miracle.

Kamala did a solid job. Note how people are debating how she could have fine-tuned her messaging or policy proposals; they're not talking about gaffes or complete incompetence. She lost with a deficit of 30K in WI, 80K in MI, and 150K in PA. A definite loss, but not comparable to the landslide losses of 1988 or 1984. Biden was headed for that sort of landslide loss, but Kamala turned it into a much closer contest.

Partying EVERY day gets kind of boring... You appreciate it more if you spend time just hanging out, like the guy in the meme.

Harris’s campaign, conducted over a short three months, deserves to be credited for skillful execution under extraordinary circumstances. Once tapped for the job, she had little time to lose to mount an eleventh-hour rescue mission for the Democrats. It was a classic case of a woman leader being thrust into a glass cliff” situation, a term first coined to address how most women came to be appointed CEO. Faced with a company/party/country in freefall, a highly qualified woman is tapped to rescue a situation that might well be unsalvageable.

Articles like these are frustrating to read. But it's worth reading them to think about: how can Democrats get Arab and Muslim Americans to vote for them again?

Because Democrats won't succeed without understanding them. And saying "Trump will never allow elections again" is just doing his job for him.

This year, Trump voters who supported abortion rights amendments may have decided to take Trump “at his word that he was not going to support a national ban,”

Trusting that Trump is telling the truth? What could possibly go wrong...
