It's only between conventions, but the Heir can't wait until both are over before talking about how terrible this last one was.  He's going to need to follow up after the Elephantine to talk about how bad that one was as well.  It hasn't happened yet, and it's already a "was."  But the Heir goes after the Donkeys-FTP for their everything-depends-on-one-thing fatalism.  This is what they did in 2004.  Trump is on the ropes in the swing state polls, and right-track-wrong-track polls, so he's clearly going to lose.  But the Heir sees the Donkey/progressive fatalism as disingenuous, because you hear Type-A Western observers talk about how "genius" it was for Biden to pick Kamala Harris as his running mate. But the Heir thinks it's the opposite, absolutely terrible, because Harris gets high points of approval from Big Tech.  The Heir believes you have to assume that anyone who gets that kind of high pointage from Big Tech is just bad for our cultural health.  Big Tech seems pretty sure that a Biden/Harris presidency will never hold them to account for anything, let alone the personal corruption of forced obsolescence.  Biden has yet to hold his phone up in public and go, "I have no idea how this thing works," but he's going to reinforce the Old Person And Tech Stereotype.  It was the personal corruption of the 2010s stemming from Big Tech and Ed Snowden, and progressive participation in both, that allowed Trump to rise to power to begin with.  So the Heir's thinking, so we need to go with them again!?  To begin that cycle again!?  And endanger old school standardized cultural technology such as terrestrial analog radio and feed based podcasts!?  Also from the Heir's point of view, Biden has signaled that his Justice Department will never go after an ex-President Trump for anything, which even at this early juncture has killed Biden's presidency.  The Heir really doesn't give a rat's ass about all those very verbally chiseled "inspiring" speeches, because he's already fast-forwarded to the day after Biden's first 100 days.  So unlike the progressives, the politically skeptical Heir sees very little political hope for the future.  Of course when the Elephantine comes around, the Heir expects to hear that convention get with hate, misinformation and conspiracy theories.  At least they're saying outright they have no intention to do any real governance whatsoever.  In the meantime, seven years after Ed Snowden, the Heir's still waiting our personally corrupt culture to reform on its own, and he may very well have to take the bull by the horns himself, possibly alone in a sea of 7 billion people.

"This election is already over before it even got started, and all of us are the losers."
