Read Because: reasons obvious post-2024 election, audiobook borrowed from the Multnomah County Library
Review: On one hand, I appreciate how direct and uncompromising this is; it's common sense that feels less common, more challenging, when confrontational and supported by challenging antecedents. On the other hand, it saddens me that these bootlicking, moderate tendencies are relatively revolutionary. This is just a starting place, remarkable mostly for its brevity and accessibility.
