"In conversations with senior aides and members over the past weeks, it’s become clear that some Democrats on Capitol Hill want to do more, and have ideas about how to do more, but feel stymied by the leadership, which wants to proceed cautiously." 🤬

Garrett Graff asks if the American experiment has "reached the end of the road?"

This has been one of the most disheartening things for me, journalists (and judges and universities) prioritizing something other than truth.

For those who voted 3rd party, why aren’t they asking Stein or West to lead the movement to oppose this stuff? That’s who they voted for to lead.

If it was “no one”, don’t ask at all.

Those people who didn’t vote for Madam VP can shut the fuck up. They wanted fascism to rise since certain things were not going their way and now want to find someone else to battle against because they refuse to confront themselves with the truth about their choices as voters. Done.

When the two sequences (flip and swap) mesh, you get regimented patterns. Different sequences give very different vibes.
