Trump Wins

Now that Donald Trump is coming back, there will be one positive side effect: many Democratic voters who sideline protests for social justice when the president is a Democrat, as he is now, will head back to the streets and take up the good fights they’ve been sitting out.

Zero Mistakes

Victory has a thousand fathers but defeat is an orphan. The phenomenon is accelerating as election postmortems that identify tactical and strategic errors in a campaign are going the way of the dodo bird.,

Better Than Me

Remember when you first learned about the Holocaust? You probably wondered how so many Germans could turn a blind eye to the misery to the suffering inflicted by their government. Now, however, Democrats and Republicans are both happy to ignore the Palestinians killed by U.S.-supplied Israeli bombs.

Vote for a Winner

A vote for someone who polls say cannot win a campaign, duopolists say, is a wasted vote. But how does one assess likelihood of victory with perfect precision?

Generic Brief Against 3rd Party Candidates

The Democratic Party brief against third-party candidates like Ralph Nader and Jill Stein tends to boil down to the same tired group of clichéd criticisms: they’re egotistical. They only care about themselves. This election is too important.

A Wordy Cartoon That Underexagerrates Its Longwinded Subject

Like a lawyer who bills by the minute, Kamala Harris never misses a chance to say as little as possible using as many words as possible. It’s not so much word salad as blather.

That message might resonate a little more if they didn’t say it in every single election.

Don’t Be a Vote Rapist

Like Hillary Clinton in 2016, Kamala Harris is clear on the fact that she isn’t interested in convincing progressives to vote for her. At this point, it would be rude and invasive for progressives to vote for her anyway.

A Tough Spot

For Democratic voters, especially liberal women, this election comes down to abortion rights. For those who are also concerned about Gaza, they point out that Donald Trump might be even worse than Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, in terms of their support of Israel. For the people of Gaza, including women, it’s a distinction without a difference.

Hidin’ Like Biden

Biden and Harris have both embraced a strategy of refusing press conferences and interviews with adversarial journalists. When you bring this up, each has a ready answer.
