    It's a dark version of a very stupid upbeat tune (I felt my brain cells dying just listening to the original) , but Mullholland leaves no clue as to why. If he's not going to change the lyrics (I get why he doesn't), then the video has to fill in the blanks. I see a guy ranting and depressed. Why's he depressed? What's he anguished about?

    Here's one I found completely by accident a couple of years ago that DID move me without being particularly dark or anguished. And it's a way better cover than the original.

    The original

    Florida statewide elected officials are uniquely awful (Scott, Rubio, DeSantis) despite how closely contested the state is. It is something you would expect from MS, but not from Florida. Truly amazing.

    Saddened to hear the news of civil rights hero John Lewis passing. Melania and I send our prayers to he and his family.

    "he and his family"?

    Just to remind everybody what Donald J. Trump actually thinks of the late John Lewis:


    "Congressman John Lewis should spend more time on fixing and helping his district, which is in horrible shape and falling apart (not to mention crime infested) rather than falsely complaining about the election results. All talk, talk, talk - no action or results. Sad," Trump tweeted Saturday, which happened to fall on the weekend of the Martin Luther King Jr. federal holiday.
    "Congressman John Lewis should finally focus on the burning and crime infested inner-cities of the U.S. I can use all the help I can get!"

    This one hit me like a ton of brick. 2020 is such a shitty year. We need to catch a break. Rest in Poor Bro.

    Moving testimony...He was already fighting cancer.


    That was his last tweet.

    I am serious here: you need professional help. There is something deeply wrong with you. My guess is you're on the spectrum, and not on the good side of it either. You fundamentally don't understand your fellow humans.

    Most of Florida is more like Montgomery than Miami. You have to go pretty far south to get to civilization, truth told.

    Not really. Orlando is quite cosmopolitan thanks to Disney (there is a fairly large gay community). The Space Coast is also quite diverse. And while there are traditional areas of shit in the Tampa/St. Pete area, that is becoming very much cosmopolitan as well. And to give you an idea, my mom lives in a Blue district, and which has been blue for many, many years. Not traditional southern blue, but more Latino blue.

    You need a timeout. You need to rethink some things. You are not well.

    Neither of you has managed to figure out over the years that this is essentially the only thing he's capable of bringing to a discussion, and he got exactly the response from you both that he's been looking for. That people are willing to discuss other matters with him here says more about y'all than it does about him.

    I've said it before, and it seems now that I have to say it again... you people don't know how to completely alienate anyone who disagrees with you. Seriously, you really don't.
