Indeed.  "Cause global warming" or "overpopulation" probably sound a lot
less selfish than "we don't want any" or "my spouse/partner want them but I
don't."  That latter one is probably a reason they were already covering
for.

People started noticing that it was not always getting hotter like they
were originally claiming.  So, climate change covers hotter/colder,
more/less precipitation, more/less storms, etc.  They throw a large enough
blanket now so they can blame any event on "climate change" whether it is
really to blame or not.

Several years ago, I had a global warming fanatic try to tell me (either in
one of the echoes or in a usenet newsgroup) that global warming was the
cause of the Sun's surface getting hotter and not the other way round.

I dunno.  There are probably a lot of Democrats that are concerned that,
while a mentally-degrading Biden could beat Trump that he might not be able
to beat someone who is sharp but not as condesending.

This morning, on a news show on PBS, a political analyst was discussing the
results of the Georgia run-off and also the recent election in general.
She pointed out that voters in most districts seemed to reject the most
radical of candidates regardless of which side (right or left) they were
coming from and suggested that the voters who were "up for grabs" in recent
elections were voters who chose the candidate that was not too far to one
side or the other.  She also suggested that both parties, and mentioned the
Democrats in particular, need to take a note of this.

There are undoubtedly some individual districts that would prove that
false, like the districts "the Squad" represent, but I believe she is right
about most districts.  It would explain why the candidates that Trump got
out and stumped for didn't do well, and also why some of the more radical
left-wing Democrat candidates also didn't do well (if they even made it out
of their primaries).

If she is correct, the Independents and undecideds are not flocking towards
fringe candidates.  One things she also noted about Republicans was that
many that were not successful had "extreme" (conservative) views on things
like abortion, which make them seem too far from center.

True.
