  • To his credit, Biden adhered to the give/take of ideas with Trump. It’s courteous to let the other person speak and I’m sure he thought those watching would clearly see he’s the reasonable person in the debate. Since Trump has no such courtesy, he just ran out the clock with nonsense, making Biden look weak/confused rather than reasonable. So they wanted the mics cut. I think they’re confident in Harris’ ability to put Trump on his ass when he tries with her.



  • I struggle with this too. I think it’s because it feels so damned nonproductive to not try and figure out how to make things better. Matter of fact, it feels like how I approach people dumping personal problems at work…indifference I suppose. And that’s the last thing I want to show someone I care about. So it weighs me down.

    I’ve taken to asking questions from different angles during the venting, and this seems to be my best strategy. Results are mixed.

    I’ve accepted that I can’t be one of these “there, there” people because I don’t enjoy feeling useless. I care, what’s being said matters to me, but I can’t be myself in the situation. And that feels bad.
