The Heir wanted to go after AOC and Michael Moore for their renewed condescension after the defeat of Bernie Sanders.  But when he was coming across his YouTube feed to see what videos he wanted to add for entertainment purposes mostly (information he still tries to get through analog audio), he found a thumbnail that made him even madder.  The thumbnail was titled "Who's Left" and portrayed Bernie Sanders in the middle of a spectrum, with Elizabeth Warren and the other Donkey candidates on the right.  The implication of what they were trying to say through the thumbnail was clear, but the Heir saw it as part of the progressive pomposity he was seeing in AOC and Michael Moore.  They should thank their lucky stars that Trump is going down the drain, so that they look better compared to him.  This is how the Heir sees it as a stalking horse, and it's what he saw the progressives doing with that Al-Anon (whatever) conspiracy group.  They try to find the craziest "conservative" group they come across, just so that no-one see just how bad *they* are.  But the Heir said sorry, but not-as-bad-as is not the same thing as particularly good.  Granted the Heir disagreed with Elizabeth Warren on South Korea, but he still has respect for her, he still follows her, and he still sees her as smart and decent post-election.  He wishes AOC and Michael Moore can learn from that after their guy Bernie Sanders' defeat, particularly in Michigan, and which started the downward spiral for Sanders, as the Heir had observed.  But what did we get instead?  AOC going after all the other Donkeys in talking about the failures of Congress.  The Heir sees that phrase clearly as code for the Donkeys For The People, and not so much the Elephantine Elitists.  So much for "unity."  And that guy Michael Moore.  Keep in mind the Heir's looking at this stuff from the thumbnail alone.  Leeanna cautioned him not to judge a book by its cover, but he sees judging a video by its thumbnail as a reasonable necessity in helping decide which video to add to his Watch Later.  He's never going to add a video whose thumbnail he finds offensive in some manner, because the one with Michael Moore has him saying that he asks all Americans what kind of country do they want in the future.  The Heir doesn't believe Moore has any right asking that, because it's not for him to ask ordinary citizens tough questions, as much as the other way around.  One tough question the Heir has for Michael Moore is, what could have he done differently to make Bernie Sanders win the nomination and why did he fail to do help Sanders accordingly?  Even now, the Heir's still waiting for an answer.

The Heir agrees that Trump should never have abolished the Pandemic council, but he sees that as largely bad optics politically.  No-one's made the case that things would necessarily be any different if the council still existed, and the Heir sees that as because of a couple of reasons.  Firstly, he doesn't see the council as making recommendations that are any different from what Dr. Fauci and his colleagues across the country had made.  We'd still be wearing masks.  We'd still be practicing social distancing.  We'd still have to contend with stay-at-home executive orders.  And we'd probably still get the same protestors who will utterly defeat all our efforts, and that's actually our biggest hindrance to defeating Covid-19, since obviously a chain is only as strong as its weakest link.  Secondly, the Heir observes that most of the rest of the world is also wearing masks, and doing social distancing, and initiated a lockdown or a stay-at-home move.  A U.S.-only council would never have been able to make it unnecessary for the other countries to do any of that stuff.  However, Trump still sucks.  The Heir still sees him as a criminal, and reminds the media that he is still an Impeached President.  Him not being convicted in the Senate did not in any way "undo" the impeachment, so the progressives should not despair in somehow thinking that it did.
