    No, I’ll give you Sinema because she stopped being a co-belligerent but Fetterman and Manchin are exactly what I’m talking about Democrats welcoming more of. And if they don’t want to do that they should try not losing so much.

    Sorry!

    Fetterman spends most of his time attacking Democratic voters and saying we shouldn't oppose Trump so much. He's probably a year away from switching parties. We'd be better off right now if Connor Lamb had won that primary.

    Exactly. Not a hard call. I’m not sure he knows how to fight them, but he recognized early on what we’re collectively up against and broke with it at great personal and professional cost. Same deal with Liz Cheney. 
     

    We’re fighting for our lives here. Democrats need to understand that being in the opposition means accepting the co-belligerents who are willing to work with Democrats to defeat a common threat. Whether inside or outside of the party, there’s no reason to worry about policy differences unless and until they win. 

    I'm worried about welcoming people who appear to be co-belligerents but aren't. People like Fetterman, Sinema, and Manchin actively hinder the fight. Manchin was a bit of a special case because he was still preferable to literally anyone else who could win a senate seat in West Virginia. I don't think Platner is that.

    MAGA is no longer about political ideology it’s demonstrating unwavering fealty to the orange god. She will soon be labeled a rino and drummed out of the party if she doesn’t fall back in line. 
     

    that being said I don’t think she ends up in the Democratic Party especially since people like Cheney and Kinzinger haven’t 

    MTG will never shift left because she's authentically crazy in a specific, reactionary way.

  4. If he had a good primary challenger I probably wouldn't vote for Walsh in a Dem primary, but one thing you absolutely know about him is the only thing he really cares about today is the destruction of Trump and the modern GOP, and I could certainly live with that.

  5. The real test would be someone like Joe Walsh, who was never MAGA but was definitely pre-MAGA and still doesn't align with Democrats on much, but hates MAGA more than he ever hated Dems and knows how to fight them.

    What I love is the openly endorse concept that if only the UK could be rid of everyone but the native English and such, it would be a crime-free paradise.

    Yeah.

    Those native-born white Englishmen, not a troublemaker or criminal to be found.

    They're not crimes when committed by pasty white boys, they're just little oopsies we shouldn't rush to punish them for because they've got such potential.

  7. It all boils down to nerds trying to make themselves seem useful so they can get positions of influence within campaigns and the party apparatus (to the extent that exists) to ensure lucrative careers. In a properly-functioning party these people would be treated the way Ryan Gosling treats his quant in The Big Short (but without the racism).

    I think he’s handling this in a stupid way but it depends on what kind of points you are giving. 

    Depends on how my trip to Vegas this weekend goes. I'll let you know.

    “I’m not a secret nazi” is more or less the same as “I am not a witch” in the context of electoral politics. Mills could be 99 and still get the nod over Platner next June.

    If anything, he's handling this issue much much worse than Christine O'Donnell handled "I am not a witch." E.g.

    He handled the reddit posts much better and much more in line with the type of response that would appeal to Democratic primary voters. This whiny shit here? This is what works in the Republican party.

    Coming back to this- are you giving points? I may want action on this. 

    He just lost his second campaign manager in as many weeks and several additional reports have come out making it clear he's lying about the tattoo. You really want to bet on this guy?

    Exactly this.

    His 'phase 1' already delivered Argentina's first full-year surplus in 123 years and crushed monthly inflation from ~25% to ~2%, all by slashing things Argentina can't really afford (subsidies, costly public works, and a big public sector). And while poverty is still high, the latest stats show it’s falling (though critics argue the numbers cloud a complex picture).

    His planned 'phase 2' reforms will be just as big and polarising, whether deregulating the labour market, simplifying the tax code, or privatising another ~20 state-owned firms.

    This reads like AI.

  12. I dunno if Carville had any actual involvement, but his endorsement sure doesn't help them in my eyes. I think the bigger problem is that this is just more of a certain type of Dem strategist pretending that politics can be Moneyball'ed and they're all Billy Beane. Like this shit was just Biden's presidency and then Harris' campaign (remember how much Carville praised her for running to the middle?):

    Lots of interesting data to pore through that I’m still digesting. 
     

     

    Where's the actual report? I don't have twitter and the semafor article doesn't link to it.

    I’m curious how his Reddit account came to light? Did he post his personal name or some shit? Do they have his second account for the porn subs or just his main account? 

    You think he had enough sense to have a second account for porn subs?
