Tim Walz promised a “joyous” Democratic National Convention in a lightning round of brief speeches Monday morning—pointedly not mentioning Donald Trump or JD Vance.

“What we’re going to show America over the next three days is what democracy looks like,” he said in his very first appearance at the event, a breakfast for delegates from Wisconsin. “It’s joyous, it’s inclusive."

“We understand what the alternative is. That doesn’t motivate people. It’s not just beating those guys. It’s about setting a course for our future that’s brighter for everyone.”

    Well it’s a bit of both. Individual choices matter but not as much as corporate choices. It’s the corporations that manufacture clickbaity headlines and use psychological tricks to make us do things more easily.
    We can stop clicking all we want but if corpos are not forced to stop this kind of behaviour, nothing will change.

    It works for many things, individual choices are important but the orders of magnitude between them and corporate actions are vastly different.
