there is a seething, contemptuous outrage on the part of the Dem elder statesman subcategory of the Epstein caucus (your Clintons, your Cuomos, your Pelosis, etc) for the younger generations who are openly rejecting their obsolete way of doing things, and the mask slips a little more every day

…and now I’m going to have nightmares for a week.

She looks like a Christmas decoration lol

Hey there buddy you’re getting a little personal

Shocking AND surprising, actually!

Agreed, and it ain’t great, but saying you’re gonna retire next year lets everyone jump in. Letting your ”designated successor” secretly jump in and then *after the deadline* announcing your retirement is a completely different thing!! I hate dynasties but only one of these things is acceptable!

Unless I am mistaken, these are two completely different things. Garcia waited until it was too late for anyone else to jump in, while GOP dude is just… retiring? And anyone can run?

This totally fits with that survey I saw today that c 87% of CEOs use AI vs c 55% of managers and c 37% of ‘frontline workers” aka workers.

So many people need to derive meaning from what are almost certainly random (“stochastic”) events.

If we are bound by previous mistakes, whether by foolish deference or because the new government is comprised of the same feckless Dems we see in leadership now, this country will not emerge from this crisis as a democracy in fact. We must work towards a better future.
