  1. Goddamn this is so much better as a day game.
  2. Jamie Davidson is also at least one of the founding fathers of Reggaeton.
  3. The person who tagged me in that fb post voted for Obama, then Hillary Clinton, then Biden. It was a combination of inflation, the border, and the moral panics about trans athletes and CRT that put him over. Curiously, despite voting for Biden and Democrats in Texas until recently they also became convinced that Biden and Democrats stole the 2020 election. This is a retired person who is otherwise quite smart, very accomplished, a dedicated conservationist and a good old guy, but he and his peer group are vulnerable to social media and cable news propaganda techniques, and his brain has been poisoned.
  4. Somebody I care about posted that and tagged me in it. I responded “you are voting to end American Greatness. Don’t kid yourself.”
  5. smoked a pork shoulder, time for tacos.
  6. Troop felt safe enough to perform a capella medleys out in front, how dangerous could it have been?
  7. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTNoyTvtm/
  8. No doubt, but the point isn’t really the audience for the interview, the point is the newsworthiness of the event. For better or worse, mainstream white women are sort of aware of Charlemagne and Roland Martin. 🤷
  9. This week starts the crucial 3 week stretch. With an assist from media and social media palz Trump is taking the discourse back over. Harris needs to flood the zone for the next 10 days - events, rallies, announcements, etc. Interviews are fine, but they need to be social media friendly and newsworthy - Roland Martin and Charlamagne would be OK, but weird long form ones with fanatical audiences would be ideal - Joe Rogan, Theo Von, Lex Fridman, Travis and Jason Kelce. She also needs to be on offense during the debate and to be as aggressive as possible. Ideally he'll start whining about how unfair it is, and she should make fun of him and ideally laugh at him during the debate. Saturate paid media for 10 days or so following the debate, and minds are made up. It's GOTV from that point forward.
  10. My expectation would be that a Democrat should say “I reject the premise of the question. Please stop and ask yourself Kristen: what would Tim Russert do? We’ve had 10 years of this nonsense. Stop treating Donald Trump like a normal politician who has serious policy positions. His supporters don’t, it even costs you credibility with them.”
  11. He seems mostly progressive in the sense of having terrible political instincts
  12. On the way back from Balmorhea a few weeks ago I drove through some dying oil patch town where 3/4 of the storefronts were boarded up, the asphalt was turning into gravel, all the vehicles were F250’s with aftermarket wheels and there were TWO Dollar generals within 100 yards of each other.
  13. I do t think I made myself clear- I’m making a distinction between voting on the basis of policy positions (dumb) and voting on the basis of the anticipated outcome (rational). In other words, if you think Ted Cruz sucks, but didn’t want you AR-15s taken away, you should have voted for Beto. Because there is no chance he could take your AR-15 away if he won, but the outcome would certainly remove Ted Cruz from office. Likewise I know a lot of pro-lifers who cared more about abortion in 2016 than anything else. They knew Donald Trump was personally all over the place on abortion and a giant piece of shit in general and didn’t care. Because the outcome would be a higher probability of overturning Roe with him in office. They were right. In other words people (like businesses) should think about politics in terms of what they want to happen, not the mouth noises they find most pleasing.
  14. Agree. I know a lot of 1%er Democrats who actually believe that middle class people are somehow wrong or lying about their own lived experience because people at the top of this economy have been spared the brutal economic and standard of living compression of the upper middle class in particular over the last 16 years*. *from a structural standpoint it actually started in the mid 80’s, but the technological revolution of the 90s-2000’s effectively replaced the older upper middle class with a new one, in different locations, more able to claim a larger share of productivity gains. So one upper middle class was flattened between 1982-1994, a new one was built between 94-08, and has been likewise flattened since. What is comes down for a worker is this- how much of the economic value of your labor do you receive in the form of income, and do you have equity in the accrued value of your own work?
  15. I think it’s important to acknowledge that most of his supporters don’t care, and quite of few of them actively support those things.
  16. He’s been all over the place on it for 40 years, just like everything else. Also, what ethos? Political parties don’t Ethos. They are coalitions of interests. That’s it, and that’s all. And you should understand that better than anybody. I meant it as a compliment- people who support a political candidate because they think it will yield a policy outcome are smart. People who support a candidate because they want to vote for someone who feels and thinks like they are extremely naive.
  17. Care has apparently deleted her twitter account and put her instagram on private
