Substack is in danger of collapsing under its own weight. There are just too many worthy accounts here now to expect readers to cough up $5 for every writer they want to read. There needs to be some kind of subscription/revenue sharing mechanism so subscribers aren’t constantly asked for money for every damned article they’d like to read. Sell tokens. Punchcards. Come on, SS, INNOVATE ALREADY.

This is really an “are you better off than you were 8 years ago?” argument and I think it gets to the core of the matter. This is not a policy argument, it is a “look what Donald Trump did to the psyche of America” argument.
I’ve been thinking a lot about what people are calling “vibes” and it is really about personal empowerment. The core of Donald Trump’s message is that we are all victims of events larger than ourselves, and that only *I* (he) can help you. Donald says sit there on your couch and he’ll do all the heavy lifting.
The Harris message is that you personally are empowered to make change, and while she offers leadership and commits to trying to help out, ultimately it is *we* who are responsible for being the change we want. It grants you the license to feel empowered, not powerless.
Trump apparently never saw the Lego movie; his theme is Everything is AWFUL. Who wants to look at the world that way? Most people feel their world's not perfect but usually FAR from awful.
