  1. This is why I said earlier they should just refuse to discuss it beyond “ask Mike Johnson”

  3. Shot Chaser:
  4. It’s a little hard to tell what he’s saying there because I don’t think he actually believes that. I think he’s using that idea as a device to demonstrate the decline of diversity within the Democratic Party as it wrote off so much of its traditional base. It’s part of a pair- he’ll talk about how there were 40 pro-life or adjacent democrats when ACA was passed, and then he talks about pro-life Dems being something worth trying in red states. But it sounds like he’s saying it’s something Democrats should tolerate, as opposed to something they should seek out with intention. I hope he’s trying to make a good point about what a big tent party looks like, but he struggles to do it because he’s such a dork.
  5. @pyrohornIII just curious, how hard is it to get face time with Kendall Scudder?
  6. Forget about the strategy. Graham Platner is a great example of what I mean about music over words. He hears the music.
  7. The central problem with Ezra Klein’s approach is that policy isn’t all that important to getting elected, and only even matters afterwards to the extent that people think they feel something. And TNC is wrong for the same reason. For the record, of course I care about policy and pay close attention to the details. But an election is a popularity contest, and Democrats have a candidate quality problem in part because they keep nominating these really offputting people from the Uncanny Valley who don’t have the rizz or the EQ to get elected. Anyway the upshot is that Democrats do not “need” to nominate pro-life candidates to win red states. They need to nominate people in red states who can be popular in red states, by sounding like a member of the tribe. It’s a lot more about the music than the words.

  9. And now in 2025 we find ourselves back in normal times, where the 4th quarter you can get a little more on your trade in, pay a little less than MSRP, and get an interest rate well under risk-free with good credit even on popular new cars. somebody tell me again why it’s so urgent that we go back to historically low Fed funds rates?

  11. I just realized I’ve never seen both Ted Cruz and @Helobious at the same time…
  12. It’s a few minutes until kick and Q2 Stadium is PACKED with invisible season ticket holders You can really feel the Listoness
  13. That’s economic word salad. Even at the most basic level. Of course you’re not alone in doing it, but I suppose you would say you “support capitalism” or something equally nonsensical.
  14. The whole discourse of capitalism, communism or socialism in the context of the American economy is utterly devoid of relevance, honesty, purpose, or merit.
  15. I was talking about you too, but I’ll give you credit for not bringing it up.
  16. Never have two words meant less than “capitalism” and “communism” in the political discourse of the 2020’s

  18. You know, the MGT thing is interesting to me. People come to Washington and get cynical, or corrupted, or jaded, but nobody serves in congress and stays uninformed. So what happens when a profoundly ignorant, high energy, low impulse control person gets elected and the veil is slowly pulled from their eyes?
  19. Dude also has a sick O-Gauge setup and all the imitation crab meat you want.
  20. Take hearts it doesn’t matter what they claim. They aren’t the audience.
  21. Correct. I do attribute it to her influence, but it’s beyond the industry. You can’t operate a middle class political party from a place of hostility to the savings of 20-25% of young, minority, and middle class voters.
  22. No, and thank you for asking because it’s a great example of how her influence damages the party. The Biden administration essentially took direction on bitcoin and crypto policy and regulatory appointments from her, and the shift of crypto owners towards Trump as a result was decisive.
