Good man. RIP.
"Naturally, David Brandt was rather fond of the meme and the impact it had on his work. In fact, he continued to use use the meme as a symbol for the work he and his family performed with their farm. The farm, which has consistently belonged to his family, is said to consist of 736 acres of no-till row crops and cover crops. As of this writing, the farm involves three different generations of his family."

Maybe the problem isnt democracy, but that there are no qualifications on who is allowed a vote.
Anyway, this is what Our Sacred Democracy™ chose in all it's wisdom:

> President Biden told US forces stationed in Japan that his son Beau perished in the Iraq War, a video obtained exclusively by The Post reveals — after the president stoked questions about his own mental acuity by making the same incorrect claim at least twice last year.

More specifically, they are gaining across to > $5 trillion (yes, trillion) in funding, probably with the help of your 401k when they do this stuff.

Here's another example of the point I'm trying to make that @ThatDoug caught in an article:
> “We have never seen controversy around events that we host at the Alabama Campaign, but the Alabama legislature has recently introduced several anti-LGBTQ bills, and there has been a rise in parental rights extremism, so we don’t think this is a coincidence,” said Clark Okarmus.
You can spend 100% of your time worrying about how the media will portray you, and they are still going to call you a "parental rights extremist" anyway, so just focus on being right, and having conviction instead of how you will be perceived, because it is guaranteed that you will be portrayed negatively if you don't fall in line.

Pretty much.
For example, I don't think the GOP learned/cares about the important lesson from Trump, that they will make the news say what they want about you, so getting caught up in "optics" is just playing into their hands and making yourself their victim. Trump cared in a strategic sense about his messaging, but not in the sense of shaping himself for the sake of trying to appease the media for the sake of how they would portray him.

Huh.
> The move of the company’s sales and marketing hub from St. Louis to New York in 2015, several years after Anheuser-Busch was acquired by global giant InBev, has been a point of contention. Some wholesalers have pushed the brewer to move those marketers back to St. Louis, arguing that executives in New York are out of touch with the drinkers of the company’s flagship brands.

People think there is such a thing as “optics” but really it is just decided by what the media wants to cover and how they want to spin it.
> bet the want to but the optics would be horrendous
Can't be worse than when the DNC actively colluded to help Hillary and nobody but a few Bernie bros cared about that

This is just theater. It is a plot device.
They never let it happen. Both sides are just trying to see how much they can get for themselves before they agree to be irresponsible.

I hope you're right, but they also have a monopoly on legal force:
