  1. No, they aren’t stuck. They delude themselves into believing that campaigns are won and lost on policies instead of delivering targeted calls to action that resonate with a sufficient cross section of the electorate to capture majorities. Policy is what you get to do if you win. chatGPT, show me a picture of how Democrats lose:
  2. “That good” meaning good enough to beat somebody good who doesn’t rely on deception. Democrats lose because they aren’t good. They don’t understand their target audience or what drives attention and behaviors. Or care to, apparently. They act like campaigns are court cases, like people choose how to vote based on the preponderance of the evidence. Also/ Democrats need to get it out of their head that Trump wins because he lies. That’s not true. It’s his biggest weakness. Trump wins because he understands his target audience and how to make his opponents compete in his choice of ground. That’s why this isn’t a messaging problem.
  3. What do you mean “kinda?” It’s extremely difficult. But Republicans know how to do it because they value marketing as a professional discipline. as in Texas, the Democratic Party is dominated by lawyers and activists and does not value marketing as a strategic professional discipline. The closest they have are refugees from journalism-turned-flacks who do “strategic communications” and chant magic words only activist groups can hear.
  4. No, he’s very good. Because he understands his target audience and gives them what they want. Republicans in general do. That’s their strength. But their weakness is deception. My position on this thread is and has been that Democrats are bad at sales and marketing, but literally all of the few times they executed the basics well, they won. If they weren’t so averse to it they would win.
  5. What are the bonds for? Serious question.
  6. There’s some real irritation (to put it mildly) at the administration in the bitcoin world right now. I suspect a pardon of SBF would be like dropping a firecracker on an anthill.
  7. MCI Worldcom cheated, lied, got caught, and collapsed less than 5 years from their peak- in no small part because their sales organization was a meat grinder that got beat on all the good business they didn’t buy. I don’t see how that’s a counter example. That’s simply not true. If they need to lie about the big stuff to they aren’t that good.
  8. If your job is to find product-market fit and you don’t, it either means you didn’t understand your the reality of your market, or your product didn’t address it. It’s really hard to do, but it can be done in a single cycle as long as you don’t institutionalize barriers to achieving it, but Democrats have.
  9. Im right in the first case, but I do use those words with precision because I’ve spent the last 25 years doing eleven figures worth of one or the other. that said, go off, king!
  10. Nope. What you have seen is the result of profound Democratic incompetence at marketing, period. I mean, yes, what the GOP has done is a firehose of lies but literally every Democratic marketing effort in my adult life that genuinely sought to achieve anything like authentic product market fit in what I would consider a professional way won the election or, if it was a coordinated congressional campaign, won a majority of contested seats. Literally, all of them. You might remember in 2014 when I said that Democrats were recreating the Texas model at the national level. That’s where we are now. It’s a full stack 4-P marketing failure. But they could win if they did better work. And for the record, a good salesman can always outsell a liar.
  11. No, it really doesn’t. And also, sales is not marketing.
  12. At some point the Democrats, despite being infested with lawyers at the leadership level, will realize that politics is strategic marketing, not a contest of evidence-based argumentation, and act accordingly. If they don’t it will eventually become a violence contest and the Republic will cease to be one.
  13. Me too @Rex Kramer. Those teams were bad and often both unlucky and poorly run, but at least they understood that the franchise derives its value from the good will and support of the fans and the city. These new owners and management seem indifferent to our good will, or maybe the value of the franchise to them is about the leverage they can get from it for something bigger, like Casino gambling. Either way- I loved this team for 45 years, including the 90s. For the first time ever, it doesn’t feel like the franchise loves me back.
  14. Fair point about Nash for sure. Aguirre was such a head case. Great scorer when he felt like it though.
  15. We found 3 in 44 years, and we all know what happened to Roy Tarpley.
  16. And as far as your 16 ounce Maple & Sage - I don't eat that. I'm not from the north. I'm a Texas man.
  17. This move was horrible for the Mavs and a betrayal of our city but good for the Lakers and therefore good for the league and its sponsors and broadcasters NBA GM is not the top for him, just a steppingstone.
  18. They were stacked for the next 7 years, now, as is, they are done for at least that long. They have one way out, which they won’t take- trade Davis, Christie, Gafford, Lively, Kyrie and Dinwiddie for as many picks as they can get 25-30 and tank. Nico’s 3 year window is already closed.
  19. Probably the same one who cut Jimmy Dean rolls down to 12oz.
