  • It’s not that simple. Changing positions will probably polarize people to vote against him as much as it will win over votes to him.

    Especially because those who are likely to withhold votes over this will probably demand the most drastic of actions before Biden passes their purity test.

    Geopolitically it’s a bad move on top of that as it ends the relationship with practicallythe only middle Eastern power we have as an ally.

    The reproductions of that alone is certain to energize opposition to Biden in the far right.

    While he may lose voters over his current inaction, taking action could easily lead to a net loss on election day.

    Unfortunately what is best for a country geopolitically and what is morally right often don’t agree with each other.



  • I’m one of those older Trekkies who will complain about the aesthetic choices of the DSC sets.

    My view is that there is a certain style with sci-fi shows of this nature that are part of their identity.

    Large swings in design choices are very distracting to the point of being off putting to me unless there is good reason for it.

    One thing I absolutely applaud Disney for is how they’ve managed to modernize but still keep the 70s aesthetics in their Star Wars shows. And I wish Trek had followed the same path.
