Should she be wearing a mask!?!? Does she hate disabled people?

Turns out the “oh no, not work” guy looks like woke Sideshow Bob.

If I am the Zohran campaign, I’m excited about the latest poll numbers but worried that non response bias is overestimating my support. I’m also praying turnout is low. College whites are going to make it to the polls. But if the rest of the city turns out, Cuomo wins.

Zohran is cleaning up with college whites and losing with everyone else. If turnout is low enough — and NYC has low turnout primaries — he could win.

Locking up the ~300 most psychotic anarchist protestor types who riot during every protest would be good for society AND good for progressive politics. Letting the revolutionary cosplayers run wild and dominate the narrative is bad for everyone.

LA riots are probably bad news for Zohran. He had a good week, but Cuomo is the law and order candidate.

FYI: Today is the day you really want to go back to twitter

None of this would have happened if fewer people voted.

They are calling today a complete victory for Wally takes.

If fewer people voted, Harris would have won.

Extremely chaotic use of quotation marks on a this seating policy.

All of this could have been avoided if fewer people voted.

“Kuwait is a dry country!” I never thought I’d live to see the day when conservatives are complaining the US state department doesn’t follow Sharia Law.

“What do you think about Luigi?” turns out to be a good 1-question mental illness screen.

None of this would have happened if fewer people voted.

Sounds good. Ship it.

All of this could have been avoided if fewer people voted.

I’ve got to hand it to David, turning the Trump - Zelensky meeting into “drrr, this is why democrats bad” takes a real commitment to the bit.

Really hard to overstate how poorly progressives preform in general elections.

Blaming the New York Times when bad things happen is what atheists do instead of asking "why has God forsaken me?"

People who mocked the idea listening to The Groups is bad politics outraged Biden listened to The Groups (ACLU).

NEW: Republicans clash over 'SALT' deduction as they seek to extend Trump's tax law Some Rs insist on lifting the $10,000 cap. “Two-seat majority; eight or 10 very SALT-y Republicans? You guys can do the math on that one,” pro-SALT Rep. Nick LaLota (R) tells me. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

This article presents the closed post office in Bolinas as “an urgent public health issue” and an example of the USPS screwing small communities. But if you read to paragraph 16, you find out it’s only a “problem” because the nutters in Bolinas refuse mailboxes & home delivery.

A few years ago, the conventional wisdom decided driverless cars were all hype. Today a driverless cab company surpassed Lyft to become the second largest cab company by passenger volume in SF. The future is here, just not in New York where the takes originate.

We now have an answer to the question “can auto companies become software companies.”

Yglesias derangement syndrome is a big 🚩

People are going to be so mad he’s a tech fitness bro and not a communist cosplayer.

Tuesday: Incel Coup Wednesday: Citibike assassin Thursday: SF tsunami

Excessive wokism wasn’t determinative for Harris’ loss and abandoning it probably isn’t necessary for Dems to win in 2026. But the fact you see so many calling for an end to faculty lounge cultural politics shows even Dems found it stifling and are eager to change course.

Now that reforms like early voting and vote by mail are probably net negatives for Dems, it seems like “count the votes at a remotely acceptable pace” would be a good election reform policy to focus on.

I regret to inform you I’ve been correct about this for years. High turnout is bad for democrats. It’s catastrophic for progressives (there’s a reason Bernie always did best in low turnout caucuses). The sooner partisans and activits accept that the sooner they can adapt.

We went here about six months ago. The food was great, but you could hear thrives smashing car windows in the lot around the corner (middle of the day). My wife insists her fish was one of the best dishes she’s ever had, but we haven’t returned since we didn’t want to be robbed.

The bear case for AOC in 2028 is that I don’t think Dem primary voters will be inclined to nominate a woman again next cycle.

One thing I’m thankful for is there’s a lot fewer “actually thanksgiving is problematic and racist” takes than there were circa 2016. It shows we can move on from the most toxic faculty lounge discourse.

Three questions I think the left needs to seriously grapple with post 2024 if they are interested in winning in the future: 🧵

Harris took more shit from the left for campaigning for Liz Cheney without conceding anything to her on policy than Trump took from the right for abandoning the idea of federal abortion restrictions. Harder to win when the team doesn’t really want it.

Feels like we are due for a return of Free Masonry as a boogeyman.

The “high salary” that it’s not worth striving for in the UK is about $20/hr — what an Amazon warehouse worker makes in California.

How bad was this website?

Can we put Land Acknowledgements on the list of cringe things we aren’t doing anymore?

Declining to champion the most politically unpopular demands of your coalition partners is not “throwing them under the bus” and it is extremely toxic and counterproductive to pretend it is.

More companies should do b2b negative campaigning.

Democrats are the party that benefits from low turnout now.

For those interested, here's how much the margin in swing states shifted from *2016* to 2024: GA: 2.2 points to left NC: 0.5 point to left WI: zero change PA: 1 point to right MI: 1.2 point to right NV: 2 points to right NV: 5.5 points to right National shift roughly 3.6-3.7 points to the right.

This is sadly one of the side effects of the left being full of depressive sad sacks. They are temperamentally incapable of taking a W.

"Pro-Trans, but not Sarah McBride, she's not vocal enough on Trans issues." "Pro-LGBT, but not Pete Buttigieg, he's not the right kind of gay." "I want to see a woman president, but not Kamala Harris, she's too establishment (or something)"

Total winner.

Before the vote: ~25 votes would be “a win” After the vote: 18 votes was “a historic rebuke.” Rarely to you see someone move the goal posts so brazenly over the span of a few hours.

The key thing to remember about culture wars is that the side that’s seen as the mean aggressor is the one that is losing politically.
