Quo Vadis, Democrats?

Leading Dem candidate for CA governor and AG (with potential spillover to the governor candidate there too) in Virginia are excelling in self-sabotage. 

I suspect Jay Jones is still likely to win. And after tonight's gubernatorial debate, I can't see how anyone would vote for the Republican nutcase over Spanberger, who still leads by double-digits, and polls show voters aren't biting on her anti-trans baiting.

Still, hopefully Jones is a lesson in not sending stupid text to members of the other party. Given other things that have come up with him, his judgement is clearly shit.

One thing they can thank Trump for, is that his campaign of constant media distraction has a pretty widespread jamming effect on all other political events, even at local levels.

I've listened to a WW2 podcast episode featuring Scaramucci as a guest.  I didn't know much about him, I just assumed he was a MAGA hack who got his comeuppance quicker than usual, so I was very surprised to find him to be educated and thoughtful.

He tends to blow hot and cold.  He very much called the Trump/Musk falling out...but even today still thinks the Dems should embrace/rehabilitate Musk and try to pull him back...which I think is absolute folly.

And he's a crytpo-bro.  (though, he has made some of the most intelligent arguments in favor of it...but I still think he is wrong)

From a recent interview (did not know before)...dude is apparently hyuuge on astrology.
