As said by Stephen Kotkin: ‘There isn’t a mirror on the planet big enough for the Democrats and the left to look into, to see all the ways that they elected Trump.’ The responses to this Atlantic piece probably sum up why Bluesky is a problem for the Democrats.

Back when I was 17 I had a crisis of confidence doing my A-levels and did a Mensa IQ test to see if I was flogging a dead horse. I have found the leaflet they sent back with the test. Oh Dear. (I did not join, too weird, but carried on with the A-levels).
