  1. 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.

  3. 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?

  5. I just realized I’ve never seen both Ted Cruz and @Helobious at the same time…
  6. It’s a few minutes until kick and Q2 Stadium is PACKED with invisible season ticket holders You can really feel the Listoness
  7. 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.
  8. The whole discourse of capitalism, communism or socialism in the context of the American economy is utterly devoid of relevance, honesty, purpose, or merit.
  9. I was talking about you too, but I’ll give you credit for not bringing it up.
  10. Never have two words meant less than “capitalism” and “communism” in the political discourse of the 2020’s

  12. 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?
  13. Dude also has a sick O-Gauge setup and all the imitation crab meat you want.
  14. Take hearts it doesn’t matter what they claim. They aren’t the audience.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. Fatty votes on an exclusively tribal basis, Most Republicans do. can we talk about the shutdown on the shutdown thread?
  18. @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.
  19. Not sure where else to put this, from a Ford Maverick Forum
