True, if very healthy means that the rate of decline for working class Americans was going down. Until that gets aggressively reversed, get ready for more and worse fascists every other election cycle. (For as long as free elections exist.)

Obama is the HIV that destroyed our immune system. Trump is the pneumonia that's now killing us. Coin flip I'd say.
I am so conflicted. Obama is massively overrated and his mediocre presidency is right at the core of everything lacking in the Democratic party establishment today. On the other hand, I know Trump intensely hates Obama and I know this would drive him crazy.
I sincerely doubt Rogan has learned his lesson. There is zero indication that he won't go right back to slurping the ass of the next dictator wannabe while, again, being completely oblivious to the possible consequences.
As always, most of their effort will be used to try and stifle progressives.
So, he's mad at Trump for doing exactly what he was campaigning on when Rogan endorsed him?
Tesla, $TSLA, Board of Directors have just reportedly opened a search for a CEO to succeed Elon Musk
Meh. The only possible reason to keep accumulating after a billion is for respect and power. I'm pretty sure Elon has fucked up both to the point where most of his money gets him nothing. I'm pretty sure he is headed to a "death of despair" type ending before long.

I'll do it. After all, I can't possibly fuck it up worse than the last guy.

Democrats can start winning whenever they choose. They just choose wealthy donors over messaging that would win elections. Bots would be irrelevant.
It's not about who's to blame. It's about what it will take to fix a broken system. As long as the Democrats are what they are, Republicans will get away with doing what they do. the whole point is to have a Democratic party that's capable of winning elections.
I'm not comparing Biden to Trump. That is just too easy and kind of masturbatory. Yes, I agree Biden was better than Trump, and Harris would be too. The world is more complicated than "red bad, blue good". The important question is, when Trump is worse, why is he president?
Democrats can continue to be better than Republicans in every way, and it won't matter. Republicans have a narrative and Democrats don't. That is the point that matters.
I knew with absolute certainty that Biden would be a one term president and be replaced by a far worse fascist. I didn't know it would be Trump v2, and I didn't know Biden would far exceed expectations, but I knew he wasn't what we needed to turn off that path.
Democrats can't keep repeating the same mistakes and getting surprised by the results.
