The Democratic Party's attempt to win votes from Republicans has mostly failed.

This effort started with nominating a largely right-wing "centrist", Biden, and continued with inviting Republicans to speak at the Democratic convention about how close Biden was to a Republican. This tended to discourage the people who need something better than a Republican.

As for the Lincoln Project, there was no harm in trying that, and it may have done some little good. But not very much.

*Let’s face it: The democracy that Donald Trump dropped on the floor suffered a great deal from the experience. It’s going to take more than an election to put it right.*

* Turns out, the so-called shining city on a hill is, instead, a black hole where hope, optimism, reason and the future go to die.*

The wives of UK undercover thugs who used phony romantic relationships to infiltrate various leftist political movements are now complaining that those relationships constituted "infidelity" towards them.

I cannot understand their feeling of loss because it is based on an idea of possessiveness that seems totally wrong to me.

If a woman who loves me starts to love someone else, I worry that she might lose interest in me. But once I know she still loves me, I wish her happiness from her other relationship, and I can be happy for her happiness, along with her love for me.

But even if she stops loving me, I still wish her happiness even though I am bereft.

The US has a long history of rigging elections.

If Biden is allowed to become president, he can easily bring the US back into the Paris climate agreement.

Republicans in the Senate, however, will go to the mat to make sure th US not carry out its pledge to reduce emissions.
