Instructions unclear, now have Pope following me around the woods trying to poop on me - help!?

It is, but presumably phrasing it as a question increases engagement (or was thought to) hence furthers the OP's goal, in spite of the factual nature.

i.e. the same reason that Trump was allowed to walk all over the "moderators" at the recent Presidential ~~advertisement~~ "debate".

You know, "journalism" as it seems to always be practiced these days. As in, chase the profits to the exclusion of all other considerations.

Hrm, I wonder if my time spent on social media has made me more hostile to such predatory practices overall...

Trump would like to have a word with you.

Excellent breakdown imho.:-)

My highest karma item has about 200 upvotes. Let's see, theirs... Holy crap I didn't even know the numbers went that high!? 🤗

Preemptive: take what I'm saying with a heavy grain of salt, obviously and as always.

The true liberals will vote Dem no matter what - Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, hell this group would vote for Pete Davidson at this point!

The true conservatives... same, mostly. Unless the liberals advanced someone like Liz Cheney or Mitt Romney, who may be able to chip into that? (This is when we finally stop pretending that liberals have any options in this race, midway between neoliberalism and outright fascism.) Bc just like Dem != liberal, but differently, Repub != Trump-er.

There are probably like 5-100 people in the middle somewhere, but bc they live in swing states somehow determine the course of the entire nation. Would this be a time to be risky and advance AOC - as a young, passionate, genuine person, since the votes of neither liberals nor conservatives are likely to be affected either way? Except the old money probably worries too much that they could not control her, whereas both Trump and Biden have been vetted in this regard.

Okay but... worse than Biden is already doing?

At this point is there anyone, anyone at all, who isn't merely voting for "not Trump" on the "left"?

Conversely, there are a few on the right who actively like Trump.

And there may be a handful of people - in key spots though - who may vote for a younger candidate?

That's the thing: Trump is playing to his base, whenever he is rude. It is unfair that liberals demand more from their candidates than conservatives but that is the way that it is. Knowing this, someone could aim to win, or else they could... not, I guess.

Mushrooms can fuck you up:-).

Bernie memes don't need to be seen to be understood. We all arrive at them by congruence with factual statements about the universe, and occasionally someone translates one into pictorial form for our visual edification:-).

Yes this is the correct answer.
