Quote:Former Clinton strategist James Carville laments that what Democrats are doing against Donald Trump is "really, really not working." "Everything we're that throwing is spaghetti at a wall, and none of it is sticking, me included," Carville said. JAMES CARVILLE: Trump’s more ahead than he’s ever been, more -- fewer people think January 6 was any kind of what it was, an assault on the temple of democracy, our Constitution, whatever you want to say. It’s going the wrong way. It’s not working. Everything that we’re throwing is spaghetti at a wall, and none of it is sticking, me included. It's hard starting your 80th year, and like everyone else I have an opinion of myself. And the opinion I've come to is I don’t matter. It doesn’t matter. You can prepare and you can be on TV, you can write pieces, you can have a YouTube channel, you can have a podcast and nothing, nothing! We’ve got to try to think of something different because what we’re doing in really really not working.

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.

Quote:Originally posted by SIGNYM: I don't paticulalry care for sparring myself, altho it does sometimes get the motor going in the morning, along with a cuppa. I do appreciate SECOND'S PSA propaganda. If I want to know what the M$M wants us to think about climate change, Ukraine, and Trump, he does collect all the latest propaganda points in one convenient place. This is my "think out loud" place, where I'm free to mull over current events, speculate about underlying processes*, or think about solutions to problems that seem important.
Quote:* Like societies behaving like giant organisms, with individuals being cells: too small to comprehend the larger whole. With all of same processes of an organism: energy and material consumption, internal circulation of energy and goods, production, cell differentiation (division of labor), cell reproduction, waste disposal. Societies that eat, grow, mature, colonize other areas, change, and shrink into scenescence or die.
Quote:Interesting discussions used to be had. Real zingers were posted: observations I would have never noticed, connections I would have never made, predictions that were eerily prescient. I know my limitations, I'm not the most creative thinker, but I appreciate people who are.
Quote:It's an online diary, of a sorts, and not just for me. I don't put my deepest feelings "out there" but it's nice to be able to write about what I accomplished, or what's been happening to me. And I like to read about what you and BRENDA are doing, what's happening in your lives. I feel a personal connection. I miss you when the site goes down, and worry about you (pl) if you don't post for a while. I refer to you as "my online buddies" and wush there was a way to extend that IRL.

Quote:“They feel like two 80-year-old guys don’t mean much to them. I am really afraid that we are going to lose the generation of young people…That’s my greatest fear for the United States, that young people are disengaging,” he added Moreover, Carville argued that Democrats have enough of a talent pool who would attract and engage with younger voters better tahn Biden, such as House Democratic Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) “There’s so much talent, and a lot of it is young and vigorous and energetic,” the veteran political strategist noted. “I think Hakeem Jeffries is doing a great job… as [House] leader.”
