I'm trying to think of a dumber Democratic senator than John Fetterman and coming up with nothing

People may not remember that a big reason he won the 2008 primary was that he was anti-Iraq war and Hillary was not. (This was an easy position for him to take since he wasn’t a senator at the time. HRC was and actually had to vote on it. Pretty sure Senator Obama would have voted the way she did.)

It’s not that different from other areas of human endeavor — it requires no brainpower to pour money into things that look similar to successful things. When it’s superhero time, everyone’s gotta have a superhero movie. It’s AI time, the deranged billionaires are gonna jam AI everywhere.

This is essentially what happened with the dot com bubble. “It’s an electric razor with a WORLD WIDE WEB SERVER” <VC money machine go brrr>

Coffee shops should drop their insipid faux-jazz soundtracks and just put on Brian Eno's Music For Airports . Specifically 1/1, which is the perfect track both in length and tone to drink an Americano to.

Is he doing better? The GOP pollsters are pushing lots of shit polls to flood the zone. They have no incentive to be accurate; the people who hire them to do the same thing next cycle will not care. 538 including junk polls at low weight still has an effect if most of the polls are junk.

Yes this. The brilliant Democratic strategists barely (and thankfully) won the senate after a super unlikeable President badly navigated a pandemic. Stop pandering to Republicans. Be your own party and be better salesmen for your way of government. Stop reacting and lead.

Yes. This right fucking here.

None of this better-things-aren’t-possible shit or “I got a glock” is going to make even the tiniest dent in the GOP vote. This is normie Dem consultant fodder, and it’s either to shut someone up inside the campaign or they’re true believers. If the latter, we’re doomed.

This was Obama’s position and it got us where we are now. Democrats have to be willing to stand up for the party out of principle or there’s no future at all.
