Wouldn’t have anything to do with the bill he signed to fund Parkinson research? Media speculation is getting way out of hand.

One has driven for the team before, knowing the engineers. Both parties should know what to expect.

But you mistake me. I don’t care who replaces Perez or if anyone does.

Whatever that means. All I’m saying is that RB has empirical evidence of who is better.

I’m assuming that all the data favors Danny. Don’t forget, Red Bull has a whole lot of data to determine who is quicker.

Changing drivers mid-season would tend to favor experience.

True. However, national exposure is a large factor and even if there was someone vetted, they still will walk unintroduced on the national stage.

Yale historian Timothy Snyder notes that voting is the most important way to stop fascism in the United States.

“Hitler came to power after an election which enabled his appointment as head of government.  It is much easier for fascists to begin from within than to begin from without.  Hitler’s earlier coup attempt failed.  But once he had legitimate power, inside the system as chancellor (prime minister), he could manipulate it from within.  In the American system, ‘voting’ means not just going to the polls yourself, but making donations, phone-banking, and knocking on doors.  We are still, happily, at the stage when unglamorous actions can make the difference.”

Also, coalitions are necessary. “In 1932, in the crucial German election, the far left and the center left were separated.  The reasons for this were very specific: Stalin ordered the German communists to oppose the German social democrats, thereby helping Hitler to power.  To be sure, the American political spectrum is very different, as are the times.  Yet the general lesson does suggest itself: the left has to hold together with the the center-left, and their energies have to be directed at the goal rather than at each other.”
