Do the work. Perform, don't be performative. Stop trying to fix cultural problems with politicians.

Laugh if you want but I was disquieted a few years ago at how many people mocked the idea of learning cursive. When you dismiss something that’s whimsical or lovely for its own sake, you go down a grim, lifeless, uninspired path of flat greys and push button slop.

Now this is "upgraded" to *going to spill or explode". One way or another it's coming down. And I am sitting 5miles away. Oh, maybe short Disney. abc7.com/live-updates/g…

@SER1897 @tknoll209K @ClistonBrown ☝️ ☝️ ☝️ ☝️ ☝️ ☝️ ☝️ ☝️ (And I would add, viewed as no benefit to small business, which people forget, employs 50% of the nation's labor force.)

Exactly. And something *has* died, thus why everyone is using "autopsy" or "post-mortem" rather than "debriefing". Maybe a report didn't have to be released but many should be created. Anti-incumbency happens every two years, this was different.

As @ClistonBrown has noted repeatedly, a party with a toxic reputation that can only benefit when the GOP destroys the nation needs a major overhaul if it actually wants to thrive for longer than a couple years.

A new poll finds 1 in 4 young Black men in key states are not committed to voting in the 2026 elections, raising new questions about outreach, trust and political engagement. Read more #OnTheGrio thegrio.com/2026/05/22/1-i…

It’s funny to imagine traveling back in time to the Soviet Union in 1976 and telling them that in the future the signature ideas of socialism would be that there shouldn’t be police and that schools should promote joy rather than have kids take tests.

@TheStefanSmith Unfortunately, most humans, younger ones in particular, are not good at understanding the sheer scale and numbers we have here. The difficulty to do so is also compounded by demographics being as skewed as they are in geography and beltway media influence.

@TheStefanSmith I agree w/ you, and the "honest" part is key; we lost trust up and down the age spectrum. But how do they perceive "real"? Cause I can look at her words and also interpret as "people who don't want to read or have no innate empathetic desire to be informed...want "real"."

I was actually done with Harris when she explained why she didn't choose Shapiro -- instead going for Walz but then wouldn't accept the consequence of this choice (Walz bombed his debate with Vance). She wanted an unambitious, not impressive VP who was also a shark.

@Zutao12 1) Biden seems like a good man. 2) Biden at any level of success or competence is preferable to Trump. 3) Biden failed to deliver what the average voter wanted. 4) Biden wasn’t up to running a campaign—or the country for four more years. All of these things can be true. And are.

@speechboy71 One of the nations that picked that tend shares a border with us. We're better served noticing what they did differently.

Here's your DNC Autopsy on 2024: "Every incumbent party in the world lost voter share in 2024. That includes the Democratic Party." And scene ...

It's going to keep happening, guys. There will always be a Democratic demon of the day. You get rid of Martin, it's gonna be someone else. Because it's pathological. The rage & negativity--so expertly fomented by the algorithms & the podcasts--will always need a Democratic target

@sephius1999 @KamalaHarris Please don’t choose any of them. And go on black talk radio like Urban View on SiriusXM. Because those are the voters we need to reach. The base that sat home. Every election is a base election.
