This is such a frustrating response when someone has been warning not to let the drunk conductor drive the train since long before we ever reached these two sets of tracks.

Might as well let him finish the journey” when it now appears that one set of tracks is a dead end and the other sends us plummeting off a cliff.
No, but it does wake people up to the reality of what is and will continue to happen every election unless we collectively do something about it.

This is real.
That’s why it’s a trolley problem.

Who the fuck are you talking to?
Do you think the word “problem” is positive?
