I save a small amount on my monthly entertainment bill. But mostly get some satisfaction that my money isn’t going to outlets that I do not want to support. Cable forced me to do that.

Harris swore the oath. She needn’t remind forgetful folks that the process is designed to quickly and smoothly transfer power to the V.P. Why would she feel any need to speak up to feed the nutjobs with conspiracy fodder?

1/. This election is not about Biden’s age. Or his unpopularity. Or his squeamishness about abortion. Or whether he’s right on Israel and Palestine. It is about whether Americans want to live in a free democracy or a Christo-fascist state.

2/. One party isn’t perfect but promises to protect our freedoms. The other party has a 1,000 page manifesto detailing all the ways they will destroy our freedoms that Americans can take seriously or not. Those are the stakes.
