I think it entirely depends if the next wave of democrats in charge of governance make any kind of considerable effort to embrace the working class and improve the economic conditions for the average person. As time has shown, they just never fucking do when they're in charge. That's why the pendulum keeps swinging further and further to the right - the democrats promise better and cannot remove themselves from their corporate donors enough to actually improve the country for the average person. So when their lives continue to get materially worse under democrats, voters once again swing to the right hoping for a change, only for things to get worse faster and the cycle to continue.
I'm hoping things are bad enough this time for democrats to actually do something. I'm not holding my breath, though.
I remember learning about the Rwandan genocide in high school. We learned how the world was well aware of what was going on, but every nation and the UN refused to use the word "genocide" because that meant they had a legal obligation to do something. I remember wondering how on Earth all of the developed nations of the world witnessed this and did nothing; how was there not more outcry?
And now here we are, living through a very similar scenario. History repeats itself yet again.
It is 2025, and we are talking about an election that is happening in 2028. The primary isn't even on most people's radar. If we can't criticize candidates now, precisely when is it appropriate to level criticism at politicians?????
Could you elaborate? I'm a music teacher and it checks out to me.
C4 up a 5th is G4, then up a fourth is C5. C4 to C5 is an octave.
Two octaves is a 15th. In music when the composer wants you play up an octave, they write (typically) 8va. When they want you to play up two octaves, they write (typically) 15va.
Your first conversation with someone is the time that it is least embarrassing to ask their name again - I always make a point to go over names multiple times in the first conversation and just re ask names if I've forgotten any.
