My anger made me want to watch. (Recalling now Anger is one of the seven deadly sins).

He said the Dems have lost a substantial amount of Hispanic and Asian community voters. Don't recall the exact percentage.

He said Asians were being treated unfairly by eliminating some of their academic achievement benefits. I'm going to assume Hispanics because of gas prices/inflation mainly.

Then he proceeded to say Kamala would lose in a landslide. And I agree. So in the end he predicts a Desantis victory. And that also is a good bet.

Democrats tendency to vote for ideals - which forever change - are doomed if we don't fight the Repubs underhanded manipulation of our Capitalist system. In the end most of us are living hand to mouth. And the Christianists could care less. But they have studied us and manipulate us so that our cause is lost. It's diabolical.

I helped a friend to win a seat on our city council in 2018. They've accomplished only what dems care about because there is no bipartisanship in the Republican playbook. (Murphy/Cornyn being the exception proving the rule).

We need brilliant minds in a think tank coming up with a plan to foil their think tanks. And part of that entails connecting Roe being overturned by underhanded dealings by Mc Connell's well disciplined coup on Democracy.

That and Americans don't seem to know the difference between conspiracy theory and reality.

P.s. I finished the evening watching Call the Midwife.
