Kids need better civics education so they can keep their expectations of what our government is capable of as low as possible, that way they don't feel like voting is useless and give up.
If Biden is shocked that he has to convince stupid people to vote, then who’s really stupid? Sometimes you gotta make the airplane noise to get kids to eat their vegetables.
I like this bit in particular.
Biden isn’t even trying, though. He’s blaming them, calling them anti-Semitic, and acting entitled to our votes.
I don't really blame Biden. He's part of a giant political machine that has been shit at messaging since 1980. Democrats seem to be lead by the sort of try-hard, type-A, rule-follower nerds who were in Student Government in high school. They can't relate to normal folks, and then resort to insults and guilt to get them to do something.
I guess we can blame Biden. But it could be literally any Democrat in there doing the exact same thing because the political consultants they hire are so ridiculously out of touch.
This is part one of enshittification: You give your service away to get users, and cater to their wishes. Then once they're hooked you can do whatever you want because they can't leave.

What I'm saying is that they are to Millennials as the other guys are to Boomers. Yeah, they're both Gen X, but both Rooney and Cronkite were older than Boomers, too. Jon Stewart is probably the most trusted person in news among Millennials, and I got my Boomer dad to read an entire book series on Cronkite's recommendation.

The judge made a good point: Trump never denied the sex happened. If they had, he could have struck that part of her testimony. But they never denied it happened, have never taken any legal action to stop her from saying it, and didn't bother raising any questions about it on cross-examination.
It's like Trump's lawyers expect the judge to do their job for them.
The trial isn't about Trump having sex or paying for sex, but violating finance laws. If they had denied the sex then it wouldn't be relevant to the case.
