well Charly, you asked for it, and you get it. If Ruy today thinks the way to get all the people is just to be much more Republican, doing much more what Republicans think is right or serves them, thats really convincing? Does he really think nobody ever thought about things just because they are „liberal“. He really thinks people just dont care, just dont know, just think we swap voters? Where is his evidence for all that? And he compares governors to presidents? Now thats nice and easy, surely as president or candidate they would hide what they think about topics…or would they just be better communicators (which I heard is not important, anyway). Democrats.. all for crimes, all for changing minors sexes, sure. Climate change we have so much time, its not urgent? Well, many scientist disagree with Dr PhD Ruy, but even when its totally fine to see it differently, maybe it makes democrats democrats to take this more seriously. I wouldnt bet on having 50 years to find out. And sure choice is nice, but that doesnt mean you shouldnt incentivice change. If he wants to drag them on every of his pet topics to what he thinks is sensible, well, maybe they just see some things differently and that makes them Democrats. I think you both talked yourself into a frenzy of „democrats just despise everyone not thinking exactly as them“. The union strike, I have read much better analysis on what this is about that than what I heard here. I wonder if any voter can think or do something that Ruy wouldnt approve of. And the millions of democratic voters who just think differently than Ruy, if they are lost, who cares…as their priorities dont align with his, anyway. Take it from me, you can still not despise people and can respect their different opinion and still not change your own convictions. For some things, you can and should compromise and find common ground, for others just not.

Is Biden too old? Even I think so, and I do wish for a better explainer.

But this episode? Just a disappointing „tough love“ session with no substantive solutions offered. In the end Trumps may lies and his not having any positions seems less the problem than Biden having his position. No one can wish voters to his or her liking, but seems they get an easy pass. And thats despising again…
