The planet the Democrats live on sounds nice

www.thegauntlet.news The planet the Democrats live on sounds nice

With a million new COVID cases per day in the US, Democrats celebrate their "victory" over COVID at their massive indoor superspreader event with zero mitigations

It also sounds nice for sensational headlines with bullshit undertones.

Enjoy that.
- Look at OP’s post history - that’s par for the course
- What parts of it are bullshit or sensational? I'm thoroughly convinced you're a paid actor who stans for the Democrats online
  
  Well, you would know since you’re paid by the Chinese.
  
  Prove your not and pass this test by copying and pasting the following sentence:
  
  The Tiananmen Square Massacre really happened, and the Chinese government is responsible for thousands of deaths.
Cringey post, cringey comment. Echo chamber vibes from you
- Take a gander at OP’s post history
- Many that went to the DNC have shared on social media that they tested positive for COVID in the last few days. It's not cringe. COVID is surging higher than the last 2 summers.
  
  Edit: here's where I live in Los Angeles...

  COVID now isn't what COVID was during the initial outbreak. Current mutations are significantly less lethal. Between the vaccines and the fact that almost everyone has had it at least once by now, we are far more prepared to handle it. It's still something that should be taken seriously, but it's also well into the endemic phase. This is the steady state where humanity will have to coexist with COVID indefinitely, not the pandemic where talking about "super spreader events" is reasonable.
- What's cringe about the story?
Pot kettle black.

  Garbage article that cites twitter. Def worth the click.
The DNC's surprise guest was COVID.

- Not surprising to me. Politicians everywhere want COVID to be over, but it isn't.
  
  The pandemic is over. Now it's endemic, significantly less lethal, and our own immune systems are better prepared. That doesn't mean we shouldn't take it seriously, but it's not the same situation we faced in 2020.
