I don't subscribe to The New York Times so I can't open the articles in your links. Judging by the words and cartoon in this newsletter, it seems as though you're saying that Biden surrounds himself with yes men, which leads to bad decisions. I agree with that view, but since you don't mention Trump, you seem to let him off the hook for that same failing. Trump seems to stifle dissent more than most politicians. You say that you're registered as an independent voter, but mentioning only Biden's failing and not Trump's even greater failing makes you seem biased to me, especially considering the timing of this newsletter.

People pay too much attention to politicians and don't take the time to research how government works. On election day they vote and wear their little "I Voted" sticker and that's as far as their active participation goes. Then they blame the politicians when things turn into a mess. Most people spend too much time watching football or Tik Tok but they don't ask questions and learn about what the politicians they elect are doing.
