Their stance on bluesky/X is pretty dumb, that said a lot of the criticism in these responses is nonsense. Half call them centrists shills, half say pushing for Biden to drop out was unforgivable. Those are opposite things. And hate to break it to yall, they are equal/left of 80% of the electorate.

Oh dang what a sick burn dude.

That's not even true either. Engage with any of his work outside of tweets and he is constantly calling Trump and co evil. Why are you obsessed with purity tests?

Dude thats such bull. There were, in fact, concessions made to the left. And they didn't do jack. The sitting president dropped out of the race FFS. She picked Walz as her VP in very large part over the sitting governor of PA BECAUSE leftists said Shapiro was too supportive of Israel.

Based on what? She *may* have gained some votes to her left at the expense of votes in the center and having to face a crazy full court press attack on her. The truth is she probably would've lost by even more. Gaza genocide voters were necessary *but not sufficient* to win the election.

Its pretty clear that the GOP would uniformly be on the side of the British soldiers when the Boston Massacre happened. "They were throwing snowballs and rocks, therefore they deserved to be shot"

Bro fuck off you troll. She clearly was not trying to hit him, it's sad how you live in this warped little fake world lapping up whatever the GOP tells you to say.

If Trump had come out and said this was terrible and they'll hold him to account you'd be all on board.

Yea it says it leaked to them. Leakers go to the media, presuming they will use their megaphones to send out the message quickly. They don't leak to random Senators.

Dude stfu. People like you clearly had your brain pickled during the 00s and you never progressed. It's like people watching stranger things for 80s nostalgia, but for politics. An order of magnitude more people have ALREADY died because of Trump (mainly from USAID), wtf are you talking about.

Get this man tf out of the minority leader job. Talk about failing to meet the moment...

The argument is that Starmer has done the opposite of what you're "supposed" to do. You tack to the center to win the election or win a larger majority, then you SPEND DOWN the political capital doing what you want. You dont spend political capital chasing popularity, that's futile

He's correctly pointing out that the dude is clearly a racist. Why are you coming in so hot under the collar over a correct observation? People who have a stick up their butt over every little thing Yglesias does or says should take a chill pill.

Eh not really. Polygraphs are explicitly not admissible in all criminal courts that I'm aware of.

They do definitely have their uses tho, not as a method of truth telling, but in the dialogues it opens up in the post-poly interviews. Ive seen people admitting to crimes AFTER the poly multiple times

It recycles all of its ideas from the first two movies; the final 45 minutes is pretty much a redux of Avatar 2's finale. Same setting, basically the same motivations

I feel like the responses are being deliberately obtuse. Winning the Illinois 6 house district by less than Biden's margin is not going to win us Texas or Ohio senate seats. It just isn't. And if we can't become competitive in more places statewide we are cooked, we just are.

She was running against a generational talent in Obama tho, and he held the correct position on one of the most important issues (Iraq) where she held the wrong position in 2003. By 2016 she had been attacked for a decade by the GOP and was viewed (baffalingly), as the less moderate than Trump

The moral hazard argument is such weak shit. Cameras give grace up to 10 mph over ffs. Why do you need to speed 11 mph over every speed limit without repercussions?
December 13, 2025 at 8:33 AM
This is definitely true. About a decade ago my first apartment in DC post higher education was a 2 bedroom 2 bath w/ a den for a little over $3000. I had 3 other roommates and I lived in the den, paying about $700. None of our pay was high, but 4 working adults can go a long way.

Dude your posts feel totally nonresponsive, are you drunk?

Who is an enemy of dems? And not relevant to what? The original post is saying that Stoller's response is bad. Your response is to say he isnt a Democrat and that Matt is lying to suggest he was, which he didn't. Wtf are you talking about
November 23, 2025 at 12:24 PM
? That's not inconsistent with what Matt says in his post.
November 23, 2025 at 11:56 AM
Pod save america is good, but yea pretty bleak besides that.
November 19, 2025 at 9:49 AM
Seems bad.
