Reminders for election season: 1. Don't lead with their lie. Even to rebut it, putting their attack first sets the frame. 2. Stop giving "broken clocks" shine. Validating Rogan or community notes when they’re right 1% of the time just helps them sell the other 99%.

I get that this has been almost entirely theater but I actually think it's quite bad if the people of DC become habituated to the presence of military personnel in the streets, for a whole host of reasons

this is 100% accurate and why the mainstream media constantly downplays negative stories about steve bannon

The problem, again, is elected Dems & candidates DON'T actually spend very much time at all talking about these things. Right-wing media does. And Dems ultimately have no control over what right-wing media is going to talk about.

seems notable they're not with the standard "i haven't seen it" defense they use for anything Trump says or posts Instead they're saying, "actually i've seen the Hitler jokes and the photos and none of them are a big deal"

I understand the justifiable criticism here, but Thune doing a 1:1 with MSNBC and not blindly slobbering Trump is actually more than people are giving it credit for. This is the sort of "cracks appearing in the party"

i'm sorry did they really give charlie kirk's resolution the white supremacist number?

so many layers to this story, but the most interesting to me is that it's sourced to FIVE (5) *current* administration officials... for whatever reason, the knives are out for this guy

the fake 2002 nostalgia video inspired me to listen to interpol this afternoon so who can really say if ai is good or bad

[jd vance throwing his voice:]

Republican presidents & politicians call Democratic presidents & politicians traitors, say their voters aren't American, denigrate their businesses & jobs as bullshit pointless bureaucracy, & insult every marker of their way of life without question.

Evaluate honestly the number of Dem candidates, at any level in any state, who are using terms like "birthing person" or "heteronormative" to the number using phrases like "bipartisan solutions" or "reaching across the aisle" and tell me which language is tin-eared and alienating to normal people.

Spot on. The fact of the Republicans’ vast and noisy farm league of “talent” is thanks to a handful of very rich people throwing gobs of money at any promising memer, podcaster, substacker, and video sting hooligan The answer is [drum roll] money. And the willingness to spread it around

the actual thing about the Cracker Barrel "controversy" is that certain quarters are trying to demonstrate that if your CEO is female and at any point says anything about diversity, they can and will point the cannon at you

One problem is that liberal funders want center-left institutionalists, but what young people want is populists. Donors want a Rogan of the center-left—they don’t actually want a Rogan of the left. Look at what they did to AOC!

I can testify from experience that this is extremely true and only getting more so as universities and journalism are destroyed

World War II pro-American propaganda.

infighting among the left is nothing new, but it's been exacerbated by the right's embrace of fascism. we're so desperate for an ideas-based debate, we fight amongst ourselves because we know we can't reason with the monsters who are our true enemies

the debate over free buses is frustrating because both sides seem to be talking past each other. Philosophically/morally, of course the bus should be free. It's a public service that provides benefits for more than just riders (less traffic, more density, etc).... 1/

part of the problem is that men like portnoy *think* they want more blunt talk, but their towering egos require everyone to walk on fucking eggshells around them because they throw a huge, embarrassing fit any time someone suggests maybe they should behave like an adult

Just because these people are narcissistic mediocrities who behave like petulant children doesn't change the stakes.
