    I don't know why but I'm really pulling for Harris, then Bezos. 

     

    I just get bad vibes from Apoopolololololol

    I'm really pulling for Harris. He owns a lot of teams and is no stranger in rebuilding.  He's going to come in with a strategy in place.  Bezos, despite his money, has no experience in this field and things like that do still matter at the highest levels.  It sounds so easy to say "he can just hire the best people to run the team", but so can Harris. Harris can still build a stadium..in factm the district would be just giddy to work a deal out with anyone that's not Dan Snyder.  So why not prefer the guy who can give you all the things Bezos can, but with more experience?

    I am a Democrat who does not consider myself woke.  I tend to have a negative impression of the term "woke".  Below is my understanding of it.   Its almost entirely negative, but it may give the wrong impression.   I have friends that I consider woke and I definitely consider them good people

     

    I think of woke people as having on lenses that focuses their attention on identity traits like race, gender, sexual orientation and the like.   They tend to apply morality more at a group level than at an individual level.  For example, you apply affirmative action based on race, not an individual.  There are tends to be a lack of material analysis (socio-economic analysis) in my image of a stereotypical woke person.   My stereotypical woke person is middle to upper middle class, occupying a somewhat privileged socio-economic position (I don't think as blue collar working class or poor people as being woke).  There is also a social element to being woke.  A comradery with other woke people.   Thus a lot of wokesters doing a lot of their activism on social media.

     

    This doesn't make any sense.  Wokeness is not a monolith.  It just means you're aware of why things are the way they are.

    I don't know how many of you are on Twitter but here's my take on the Musk backlash there:

     

    SO many users complain endlessly about him but don't leave the platform. Some of them claim they are "fighting the power" by staying but the only effective way they can hurt him is to leave. Twitter would be absolutely crippled by a true exodus. IMO it only exposes the amount of people who are addicted to tweeting. 

     

    I stay on Twitter because I like it and I don't get offended by the nonsense he posts but these people who claim everyday, all day to be offended simply don't just leave. Boggles my mind.

     

    It's possible to both dislike the current iteration of Twitter, and also recognize there's not a good alternative. Many, many people rely on Twitter for their jobs, or to make money, and they aren't going anywhere. These aren't mutually exclusive ideas.
