8. Even if I agreed that candidates who want to be president should be regularly subjected to media scrutiny, I don’t think this press corps, as it is currently organized, is able to.

I bet Kamala would do more interviews if some of y’all asked better questions. The “Trump said some a dumb thing. What’s your reaction?” style question is a complete waste of everyone’s time

I don’t think people understand how hard so many of us took the election results in 2016. That’s because the press only interviewed trump supporters. Sitting alone eating Doritos hits home to so many of us. You just never asked.

Sometimes I think how lucky we are that our policy forebears were like “sure, creating an entire system of modern plumbing will be expensive and logistically complex, but it’s better than everyone getting cholera and typhus all the time!” cuz if that were now … ? Man, good luck

Training in psychotherapy begins in earnest when it finally sinks in that giving advice doesn't help And it sinks in that common-sense solutions haven’t helped and won’t help now Meaningful psychotherapy is not an extension of common sense. It is something else entirely.
