I put up a poll earlier on general political trends, hopefully the next shift of SW has come on and will be able to participate

IMO, it's maybe getting more centrist. The people who seem to get the most respect are the fucking resistance Democrats who can't stand Sanders (usually on some lame-ass tone argument) and constantly mouth off about the how much they hate the orange man. And don't get me wrong; I hate the orange man, too; he's a lame-ass neolib. But that's like, the baseline level of political analysis to me. Like, any decent commentator can tell you that his tax cuts for the rich and racially-charged comments are bad. If you can address the reasons why people fall for that shit and integrate that into your worldview, that's much, much stronger.

*puts on hard hard hat* I don't start for 30 minutes. Gonna eat my breakfast right quick do not disturb
