(This Sunday I am checking out another Indivisible Group, and I will see who has better snacks.)

Well, it certainly was not the election we wanted, and the world will be worse for it. Many liberals and Democrats are assigning blame in ways that coincidentally agree with their priors. I’m still thinking about what happened, but I will say there are two numbers whose importance I underestimated. Biden’s approval is still 20 points underwater, and two thirds of the electorate thinks the country is on the wrong track. I will write more on this, once I can bear it.

When we look back the the Obama Administration, we see his great health care achievements. We also look back on his failure to punish either the bankers who wrecked the economy at our expense, or the torturers who defiled us. When we look back on the Biden Administration, we will see his economic miracle. We will also see Merrick Garland’s epic cowardice disguised as personal rectitude, the moral collapse on Israel and Palestine, and perhaps worst of all, the failure to warn the people up front what exiting the pandemic era was going to mean economically.

We can play the long game. Others have.
