Writer and agitator Vicky Osterweil returns to the podcast to discuss some of the themes raised in her essay, Feeling Good Doesn't Require the Democrats, published for her newsletter. The piece tackles the very vibes-based election cycle in the US, as Vice President Kamala Harris takes up the Democratic Party ticket to face up against Donald Trump this November. Vicky deftly navigates the affect-shift this change in the nominee, from current president Joe Biden to Harris, has had, both in its desired effect, and what is lost in riding this wave of "positive vibes only" while looking away from the realities that demand our fuller attention. In short, Vicky imparts this bit of wisdom that will remain relevant as we continue to move swiftly though our crises-laden times: don't give them the gift of our joy.

Someone took a picture of a man being shot and they put it on the faceless book. Everyone has seen it, & they say they are disgusted, but they go back for another look Somebody says, “We really oughta do something,” and the thumbs up start multiplying. Then they come to a consensus; take it down. Another little child gets sick and then dies from the water that she’s been drinking. People run wild, saying, “Oh that poor child. What were her parents thinking?” hen the man from DC says we need a study, and everybody’s in agreement. When they see how much it’ll cost; take it down.  A man takes a gun in a movie theater and starts shooting people one by one. Thoughts and prayers, prayers & thoughts, is this a battle we know can be won? Help the mentally ill, but they see the bill, change their mind, nothing can be done. There has to be a better way; take it down.  People crying, people wailing, education’s failing and the kids are not being taught. So they grab a DC buddy, do a million dollar study, & conclude it is the teachers fault. What’ll it take to fix this mistake? Gonna need some better teachers for sure. When they see how much it’ll cost; take it down.  When I was in school, they taught me a few simple rules. I before E, except following C, always make sure subjects and verbs agree. And when you’re doing fractions, always look for the common denominator.  I went down to the polling place, first Tuesday in November. Senseless killing, numbers chilling, started to remember. A man handed me his card, tried to shake my hand, I’d love to have your vote today. But I thought about what I had seen; take it down.
