A Fox News reporter tried to highlight concerns about Joe Biden’s age by noting that the president has faced questions on the subject—then played a clip of a reporter asking whether he is “too old” for a second term.
What the correspondent, Lucas Tomlinson, failed to note in the package that played on Fox News Sunday was that he is the reporter who shouted that question.
I like the idea of focusing on implementing ranked choice or similar mathematically superior methods and encouraging people to run for office. I feel like part of our problem is that only the shittiest people consider running for office leaving nobody good to vote for which adds to the feeling of hopelessness.
Run for office, local office, even if you can’t win. You can help change the conversation, expand the Overton Window, and provide shoulders for the next campaign to stand on.
The Democrats- particular Nancy Pelosi- made it canon that nobody can run unless their phone is full of money donors. That is literally their primary requirement.
