And let's be honest...many teachers were heroically trying to educate throughout the difficult time...some checked out. I had kids in college in HS...it was bumpy. This was not unlike all the jobs, tbh.

The only thing they'll remember is how unremarkable he was. That's what the DNC is marketing....forgettable, unremarkable, tepid, stale political-speak. Their customers (people) hate it. Their donors (unfortunately, their actual audience) are ok with it...sort of.

They just so desperately want to live in an Aaron Sorkin world...instead of this, real, one. Many, many people are not worth "listening to". Their ideas aren't worth considering, they should be condemned. It should be made clear that you have NO interest in listening to people who are bigots.

Whenever I listen to interviews of artistic people, I am always struck by the "intentionality" of everything. Things that you may never notice have been considered...decided. That thoughtfulness is what makes art interesting. To remove that...delegate it, shows how little they care about artistry.

Nothing is happening in a vacuum. There are absolutely grifters preying on young men. Those grievances are being politicized...like a lot of other grievances...by the right. I have NO idea what a solution looks like, never said I did, but it's providing a serious headwind to progressive success.

It's not, but it has been successfully politicized by the right. We can ignore that, make fun of it, etc, but it's happening.

That's the thing...my kids laugh at their (some) teachers. The presumption of total respect for teacher's viewpoints is ridiculous in today's world. Kids are WAY too savvy/skeptical for that. Adults and Authority do not carry the same weight of respect that once did....for good and bad.

The most important measurement is how they *feel*. Fox knows this, the grifting right knows this, and the media ignores it. They not only find the immigrants unsightly, they've been taught to fear them. They have made the cities terrifying and they are coming for you and your family.

This is why I disagree with all the sentiments regarding "all they care about is reelection.". Hogwash. They care about feeling important. They care that people care what they say. They are addicted to the feelings of power and association to power.

This is what drives me nuts about OC discourse. People talk about play calling mostly, then scheme and design, when really what's important is can they teach the players how to execute. Can they teach them what is important to execute on each play and how to do it.
