They speak intellectually about social issues, but I think the issue that scares the hell out of them is climate change. Many of them feel as if we are doomed if that is not addressed in a huge way and fast.

It don't know if the current populism has appeal substantivelty, but it may appeal to the revolutionary sentiments. Leave the moderates in power and nothing will happen. Put a populist nut job like Trump in power and there is an outside shot you can get him interested.

I agree with you, but the progressives are so concerned about climate change, in particular, that they feel as is we are doomed either way if we don't address it in a revolutionary way. They don't necessarily see the moderates as a significantly better option than the Republuicans.

Progressives are desperately worried about issues like climate change, wealth disparity, racial equity and wealthy disparity. They probably don't think the moderates care about those issues, so they aren't supporting them. Maybe they'll vote and maybe they won't, but Democrats are not entitled to the progressive vote.

Right, Hinch pretty much said at the end of the season that Castro has a lot of work to do. That work will almost surely come in Toledo

My goal for the Tigers will be 90 wins every year from 2022 forward. I don't think they'll reach it in 2022, but they have a chance. The post-season is mostly a crapshoot.

I don't think they'll dismember Roe. They'll make some changes, but I can't see them making abortion illegal.

It is if your France or the Red Sox.

I think showing up is more young versus old than D versus R and young happen to be more D than R. What can be done to get the younger people voting more?

There is a perception that many of the killings in Chicago are "bad people" killing other "bad people" as opposed to someone shooting up a school of innocents kids. I don't know whether thst perception is reality. It's still a bad situation regardless, but I can see why people would make the distinction.

It's not just the Tigers. Year to year bullpen performance is so erratic, that's it's always hard to make reliable projections. You could take all the bullpens in baseball and predict their order of success based on a random number generator and you might do just as well as if you tried to figure it out systematically!

Another wild card for this team is the bullpen. Fans complained about the pen last year, but they were surprisingly good at finishing off wins. They will either need a repeat performance and I am not really confident they will get it from that group.

Unlike past years, it is a rational possibility, but I wouldn't expect it.

No, it's not just that. The government is going to take away your guns and strip you of all your freedoms. They are already forcing you to take vaccines which cause heart attacks and allow them to control your mind.

The conservatives also fear fascists are going to take over the country.

The market is up 26% for the year. Best economy ever! Let's Go Brandon!

Why not? I would think that those who care enough to gripe are the ones most likely to grow up and be exposed to different types of situations that could change their outlooks.

Where does a young person acquire that view? When I was young, I never thought politicians had any effect on my life or that my vote mattered. I usually voted for some strange third party candidate like Anderson or Buchanan. Come to think of it, I still don't think they make a difference to me personally but, as I age, it's easier to see they might make a difference in the lives of people in need (after they take care of their corporate donors of course).

Young people have never voted in great numbers and then they grow up to be moderates.

I think young progressives don't really see a difference in their lives whether Biden or a conservative is president. So, they don't see voting as a priority if their far left candidates don't have a chance. They are not obligated to vote for your candidates. If moderates want to stay in power, the onus is on them to convince the progressives that voting for them is worthwhile.

It's not really antisemitism. It's just more narcissism. He is upset because Jewish people didn't vote for him. If Evngelicals started voting against him, he'd tear them apart like he does everyone else.

That is pretty exciting. No native born New Zealander has made the majors.

Anybody that does ANYTHING for Donald Trump is a sucker. He has shown over and over and over again for 40 years that he only cares about himself. Why are people so naive?

Unfortunately, nothing will happen to the leader who told them to do this.
