What’s going to reverse the opinion of voters?

As part of Greg Dworkin’s pundit roundup for Daily Kos he had something to say between the quotes about the pandemic, schools not opening, and political polls:

If you tell me that there’s a lifetime left in politics, and just ignore the polls, I’ll ask you what’s going to reverse the opinion of voters dealing with pandemics, the economy and school closing?

You think an ad will do that? An appearance on barstool sports? Firing the campaign manager and canceling the Florida convention after canceling the NC convention? Portland cosplay?

I don’t think so. See, it’s one thing to say the polls can change and it’s quite another to think people are going to just shrug and say, oh well, four more years of this (or worse).

Jarrett Dapier tweeted:

At this point I endorse the great Agnieszka Holland's proposal on @gaslitnation that we take a 10-15 year break from men voting. Women had, what, decades? centuries? of disenfranchisement? Just a nice 15 year break to fumigate the system.

Changi Airport in Singapore has a huge moving sculpture titled Kinetic Rain. It was installed in 2012. It is made up of over 1200 metallic droplets each on a wire controlled by a motor that can raise or lower it quite precisely. The motors are controlled by a computer and shift from pattern to pattern over a 15 minute cycle. Here’s one video to explain how it works. And another to watch the whole 15 minute ballet, which I felt was rather relaxing.
