I'll go one better: Tell me a way we wouldn't be better under a diminished Joe Biden? The *worst* that could have happened would have given us Kamala Harris as President.
Fundamentally, there is nothing wrong with the Democratic Party -- except that haven't figured out how to beat GOP $MONEY$.

Instead of criminal masterminds we got amoral, stupid grifters like Howard Lutnick
"Epstein, it turns out, was a major early investor in the crypto industry. In the backrooms of MAGA-land, passing around under-age girls is a lot like passing around insider crypto deals."
Please get out of crypto. Listen to Krugman about it. Then get out.

Longtime NYT columnist shares deadly impact of Trumpβs USAID cuts on starving children | CNN
Nicholas Kristof, longtime New York Times reporter and columnist, says President Trumpβs decision to cut billions in humanitarian aid overseas is killing children every day.
"At 3% annual interest, $849 billion would earn: $25.47 billion per year".
$25.47 billion Γ· 14 million = $1,819.29
I hope that makes you *really* uncomfortable.

ChatGPT estimates Elon Musk is worth $849 billion. You can't even comprehend that number.
ChatGPT says, according to the best estimates: "14 million additional deaths by 2030" because Elon destroyed USAID.

Do you ever do the math? (Hint: ChatGPT will do it for you.)
If you had a billion dollars, you could earn $30 million a year by doing absolutely nothing. Absolutely nothing.
