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.

2021 - Is inflation finally back in the conversation?
The whole discourse of capitalism, communism or socialism in the context of the American economy is utterly devoid of relevance, honesty, purpose, or merit.

I was talking about you too, but I’ll give you credit for not bringing it up.

Never have two words meant less than “capitalism” and “communism” in the political discourse of the 2020’s

Government Shutdown 2025: This Time It’s Personal
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?

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.

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.

Fatty votes on an exclusively tribal basis, Most Republicans do. can we talk about the shutdown on the shutdown thread?

@Nivek you are missing the point. When I talk about Warren’s toxicity, I’m talking about the negative electoral drag her influence exerts on the rest of the party, and since her “leadership” on bitcoin played a decisive role in making Trump president, it’s hard to argue otherwise. And Hillary Clinton’s largely unearned influence did the same thing. And you seem to understand the point, but choose to ignore it, since you seem to think that Ted Cruz is liked by Republicans and R-leans, which is flatly incorrect. He’s mostly tolerated. So no, I am not falling for right-wing anything. What I am doing is humbling myself to the reality of the situation and what the data tells me, regardless of whether it confirms my worldview or aspirations. The fact that the Democratic Party doesn’t have the strategic discipline to do the same is the primary reason I don’t really identify with it anymore. Hope is great, but it’s not a strategy. Neither is disdain.

IT IS ABSOLUTELY THE STANDARD and unless you are so insulated in a bubble of privilege that it doesn’t matter to you if the Republic falls, you had better make it literally the most important thing there is. Rudyard Kipling admired those who could “walk with kings and keep the common good touch.” Lefties disdain the common touch at our national peril.

I don't think she's insufferable. I think she's got quite a charming personality in a chiding school teacher sort of way. She just doesn't connect for people in an intuitive way (unlike Obama or Ann Richards, for example) and seems unable to read a room, both literally and figuratively. Eh, I used to be a big fan of Warren until she got very interested in things i knew a lot about. I would not call her proposed solutions unviersally practical. I mean, some are. But quite a few are abjectly nonsensical.

I'm very much for the pre 1970s "talking filibuster" with a 2/3 vote for cloture, not this slient filibuster shit.

No, I said "she’s one of the most toxic and inept politicians I’ve ever seen." Hillary Clinton is the most toxic and inept. But Warren is cancerous, because since she is positioned as a leader in the Democratic party, even though her bad habits and poor instincts matasticize into other parts of the party and cost votes. More toxic to America? Of course. More toxic politically to their own party? The only one who comes close is Ted Cruz, who I compared Warren to. She's as damaging to her party's brand as he is to the GOP. No, We need more people like her serving as appointees, which is why I said "She should have stayed in the appointee lane like Samantha Power." Usually the best appointees make for middling to bad candidates/elected officials. What you are asking for is a "cultural shift" away from elections being what they have always been, in all places at all times: popularity contests. Democrats need to accept reality and treat them that way, not attempt cultural shift through tone deafness. No, we need serious people who can win elections.
