Lots of naysayers trying to convince everyone not to participate, or to fragment efforts with competing ideas.

So much of our consumer culture is buying shit we don't need like impulse buys and stupid movies and fast food. That's profitable stuff, and skipping that for one day doesn't mean you'll just buy it the next day.

I'm not sure I'd put much stock in modern polling.

A study suggests the debate had very little impact, but even if it didn't, historically, changing candidates this late hasn't worked out.

I'm pretty sure they only care about their performative solipsism.

It's actually meditation, isn't it?
