There's technically still time, but many states have had primary elections already. We have no other way to give our voices to the selection process, so if the party chooses a new candidate now it would be quite undemocratic.

Unfortunately, he decided to run whether or not we think he "should". What are we supposed to do? We had better vote and not let apathy get the best of us.

My state is one of the last to vote in primaries. Biden was the only candidate left by the time I voted in 2020.

I agree 100%. I should have clarified current Democratic party leaders, and it is definitely still important to vote for the better choice in every election even if the candidates aren't perfect.

I want to agree, but I think they can safely assume Dems are not capable of reforming the court. People (including me) will scream about it but no one will actually do anything about it.

the only thing in the universe that requires linear time in one direction is consciousness. So we only experience time like that. Everything else really doesn't give a shit about time

Is that really true? I feel like a lot of things thay are not consciousness still have causal relationships.

A simple example is combustion. It needs fuel and an ignition. It produces light and heat that transfer energy to its environment. This couldn't work in reverse or independent of time.

Older art and other artifacts could be sold or gifted to American citizens or organizations?

That is just not true, I encourage you to read about it on Wikipedia. The Egyptian border has also been blockaded since 2007.

People who live in Gaza do not have freedom of movement. They can't just leave, they need permission from Israel to do so.

A cognitive exam would be a good idea regardless of any age. They need to be fit to serve.

Humans cannot live without a healthy ecosystem.

Transactions are often not equitable, and most wealth bubbles up to the people on the top tiers.
