Some people say it's foolish to worry about soulless creatures overtaking the earth and devouring our brains. I say they've already won.
Blog Credo
The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Biden
Interesting piece by Jon Chait that analyzes the difference between what the "extremely online" progressive left wants and what the rank and file members of the Democratic electorate wants. I do think we need to account for the fact that Biden has near-universal name recognition, doesn't have Bernie's baggage and has a positive association with Obama, rather than any intrinsic strength as a candidate. Still, maybe it's time to temper our idea of the great People's Revolution of 2020.
