Ok but seriously why is oren fucking cass here?
but i dont think this is an unsound strategy in general
That doesnt really strike me as what we did in 2018, or any particular year for that matter, at least as far as national strategies go. There are solid reasons to be skeptical here (no real vetting, fetterman rerun risk, general presence of 'dems bad' in messaging)...
Gl*nzo-cells in shambles
Y'know, unlikely as the idea is, i earnestly appreciate this talking about changing voters minds rather than the zillionth article about how dems must abandon everything to make a 1:1 match with the last david shor poll
1. Thing happens 2. Left of center expects the worst 3. Worst does not happen 4. Left of center dooms, right of center gloats <---------WE ARE HERE 5. Bad things happen anyways
Trump press conference delay poses a new conundrum for democrats
Dont forget to tip your waiter folks!
Ayo what are we watching on kanopy‽
MEMMMMMMOOOOORRRRRRRIESSSSSSSS
Brother, its never a bad weekend for jazz fusion
Id take a deal to avert a shutdown if, and only if, johnson/thune release a surprise (to their caucus) public statement criticizing the house/senate gop for being complete fuckups who made compromising with dems a necessity. Otherwise, let the people get the government they voted for
I mean, just because the scandal plagued incumbent isnt running doesn't mean you cant mention them constantly.
I for one believe that median voter brain worms make "divide the government for bipartisan deal making" a real thought for lots of folks. Doesnt mean that thats possible to actually do though
We need a rogan of the left NO NOT LIKE THAT
I mean, folks were touting bernie and aoc's rally a few months ago. Its not like folks are shy about highlighting when bernie is on point.
The cracker barrel rebrand was fine and humanity would do well to internalize that some things just dont matter
Running for president in 2028 on a platform that a tuna sandwich on every plate and a stiff cocktail in every glass would fix america
Thats the issue though. Whatever side of the party you identify yourself as belonging too, you have to have some kind of boundary, and a boundary like "dont outright support the far right presidents plan to shake down private companies for his own gain" seems like a reasonable boundary
I can kinda see a case for pete getting an extended discourse seeing as how he's a prospective candidate in 28 but i cant say the same for ritchie or amy
On the one hand, i think dead silence is a stretch. There was pushback from a good chunk of this site Otoh, had say, richie torres or amy klobuchar or pete buttigieg said it, i think we'd see a bigger, longer reaction
democrats are responsible for everything activists say but elected republicans can lose their shit over the Cracker Barrel logo and nobody ever admonishes them to “be normal”
A reminder (not dunking on george)
Babe wake up! Third way wrote another story for politico ❤️❤️❤️
I mean, i enjoyed 2&3 a good deal and i felt 3 made solid post game improvements to 2.
No no it was porn’s fault and he should be forgiven
![Ted Bundy interview Dobson interviewed serial killer Ted Bundy on-camera the day before Bundy's execution on January 24, 1989. The interview became controversial because Bundy was given an opportunity to attempt to explain his actions (the rape and murder of 30 young women). Bundy claimed in the interview (in a reversal of his previous stance) that violent pornography played a significant role in molding and crystallizing his fantasies. In May 1989, during an interview with John Tanner, a Republican Florida prosecutor, Dobson called for Bundy to be forgiven. The Bundy tapes gave Focus on the Family revenues of over $1 million, $600,000 of which it donated to anti-pornography groups and to anti-abortion groups.

Why does this look like a lotto ticket
On the one hand i can see the vision here. On the other i am skeptical that the writers could've pulled off even with more time/resources. Its hard for me to see the conflict as equal when it boils down to "basically irl america vs the roman empire with modern tech"
God tier bait. Masterfully done.
Thanks trump!
Trump could have Chuck Schumer executed for selling secrets to China and the media would be scared to call it authoritarianism because that would contradict Trump and seem biased. "Critics call it an overstep" is the best you'd get
Honestly we should be pushing guys like this, osborne, fetterman, mgp, and golden to form a third party where they can play this moderation/dems bad stuff 24/7 without it mucking up the dem brand. Might help knock out some red/swing state r's while easing intra-party tensions
I think i can agree with the latter half but tbh i think some measure of engagement farming is necessary (i.e. what movie makes you feel like this, what is the best blues album of the 90's etc.) helps keep the timelines fresh.
Out of curiosity (and i mean this sincerely, not in a sealioning kind of way) what would you consider to be the bounds of conversation here in an ideal world?
Kamala Harris can still be president if Any Beshear has the courage
I hate this particular brand of "antiwar" leftism that boils down to "the world may burn so long as it is not my country's doing"
Stardew valley gas had grave consequences for america
God forbid a republican increase government transparency 🙄
Legit felt like i was going insane when tariffs were declared a success WHILE PAUSED
New York is a significantly better state in every way than West Virginia. It could be so much better if the majority there stopped being bigoted, right-wing fuckstains. The fact that they refuse to do so should not condemn good people living there, but the good people's neighbors do that anyway.
The age of turbulence
i used to wonder why jesse james was ever regarded as a hero given the actual life and beliefs and crimes of jesse james. i don’t wonder that anymore.
it's pretty frustrating how republicans can just spew endless lies about city life with zero repercussions but the moment a dem disparages a pickup truck it's open season
I will say this. Trump is our fault. Europe being no more prepared for the present moment than it was ten years ago when Donald first came down the damn escalator is Europe’s fault.
It wasn't some shadowy Blackrock exec who decided that the disused golf course in my neighborhood couldn't be redeveloped, it was my NIMBY-ass neighbors at the ballot box.
Surprised these guys skipped trying to make walden a thing and just jump right to cuomo
Conservatives are incapable of understanding the truth, and the truth is this: they are the decadent elite that cause the collapse of the polity that they keep fretting about. it's them, it's always been them.
You support democrats? That pales in comparison to my strategy: telling everyone democrats are awful and evil but also definitely 100% still voting for them trust me
Who should I choose instead? The pedo weed party that gets five votes or the woo woo Russian plant party that gets three?
Consumers are still paying attention to affordability, even if the media has moved on from the price of eggs.
“National democrats are right to call out the fascist behavior of republicans gerrymandering seats in TX and now more red states. But the same party hasn't made a promise to nationally ban gerrymandering if they get their coveted majority. Why?” this is literally a lie. HB1 would have banned it
I get nostalgic for everything these days. I catch myself fondly remembering like two years ago regularly. Every period in my life (including now) has got something ibe got a fondness for tbh
For months, people have been asking me whether I still trusted gov’t data. My answer was always the same: The stats agencies faced longstanding challenges, some of which Trump was making worse. But there was no sign of political meddling. I can’t say that anymore. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/01/b...
there will be good faith attempts to work with what BLS puts out in future to determine how much it can be trusted. but like, he just fired the person running it explicitly because the published numbers made him mad. we must presume bad faith from here.
B-b-but, muh continuity?! My cinematic universe! How are we gonna go viral with wild fan theories now‽
They should just make James Bond movies period pieces taking place in various flashpoints of the 20th century with no effort explaining the chronology. Today, it’s 1990s Hong Kong right before the handover, tomorrow it’s 1950s Suez because fuck you.
I think the real cowards are the Republicans. The people who really should be "doing something" about Trump are them. We all know they hate him. Mitt Romney is pretty much the only one who ever showed even an ounce of courage. Unfortunately we don't criticize Republicans anymore in this country.
June was revised down from 147k to 14k, May was revised down to 19k. So we've created just 106k jobs since April, compared to over 100k in each of the first four months of the year. That's a really big revision!
After all...why can't i be shirtless in the solitude of my own apartment?
He's served as a deacon and has taught sunday school. I think he's being honest here
"I'm going to pardon the best friend of the guy who raped kids, who is herself in prison for helping him rape kids, in exchange for her telling everyone that I, another friend of his, didn't rape any kids."
🚬😮💨 crazy frog is just normal frog to a fucked up guy like me
Edible whispering sweet nothings of dark magus in my ear
His own doj said she was plenty willing to lie to protect herself. The honest to god story is trump give a sex trafficker a pass to lie for him
Apology tour abroad "Look what you fuckers did" tour at home
there is no point you will make on any of these topics which has not already been made approximately 650,000 times already, i promise you, and, if, for some reason, you do have a truly novel take no one has yet uttered, it has a 100% likelihood of being a fucking awful one.
no more burrito discourse. no more home cooking discourse. no more food delivery discourse. everyone shut up. stare at the wall for an hour. leave your phone at home and go for a walk. answer the work chats and emails you're ignoring. go do the dishes sitting in your sink. i am no longer asking.
Dudes rock
I thinks thats true IF whoever cuts the aid holds firm, but i think theres going to be very strong headwinds to get them to reverse. The initial withdrawal will get some blowback and if theres an attack on civilians shortly after i think u see an Afghanistan withdrawal type poll hit
Not sure i understand what is preferable about what happened compared to the proposed alternative of paul flipping. it seems to me that its better to let r's have sole responsibility.
I never ever want to hear from anyone about how “Democrats are soft on crime” ever again
Just this picture alone feels like ISIL's take on the Gadsden flag
Thank god i was worried
I WILL bring jamie hyneman to justice
Im calling it now, the next cod will still launch with an $80 sticker price
Im not saying its unreasonable to raise the price of games i just think its unreasonable to expect a smaller, less popular franchise like outer worlds to lead the charge. Wait until the big dogs like cod start taking that price. Then spread it to the mid tier games
I mean, $80 is just now becoming a price point and even then, its one seldom used. Consider too that outer worlds one was pointedly marketed as a smaller title. If nintendo wont go $80 for donkey kong, i dont know why anyone thought they could go $80 for outer worlds
You're right but also im like half sure this is some weird esoteric troll account stirring shit to stir shit
Yay ❤️
Lots of folks seem to rationalize the current moment by hypothesizing that trump is actually really smart, as opposed to the reality of the median person (ourselves often included) being kinda stupid
God did not give you ears so you could fuel this d-tier discourse
Anyone who unironically uses the term obama music should have their ability to listen to music revoked
What coverage crosses a line here? Afaik dude cheated and now his names been blasted far and wide. Seems fair to me. Is his address getting published?
This feels like that picture of fish evolving into man but in reverse
Real wages decline, as reported by US Department of Labor. That does not stop the administration from lying and telling the public the opposite.
BREAKING: JD Vance just gave a big speech in which he claimed that "for the first time in a very long time, workers' wages are rising faster than inflation.." The only problem? The Trump Labor Dept. reported exactly the opposite just yesterday, showing real wages falling in June. #EconSky
I have been in talks with the coca-cola corporation about using REAL COCAINE in coca-cola in the united states. this will be a good move by them — you’ll see!
I feel like torres is in a league of his own seeing as how ny-15 is D+27!!!!
Muting gl*nzo is already paying dividends
I think people are overdoing it with grand theories of the political moment, it's getting a bit out there
No no no read an actual book! (My posts)
every day here is fucking glonzo this murcs law that. Ooh im so abundance pilled. Oh so and so is shor maxxing SHUT THE FUCK UP
NO MORE FUCKING CREATING THEORIES OF POLITICS ON THIS FUCKING WEBSITE. STOP IT!!!!
Actively, explicity rejiggering Texas' elections map to favor the Republican party.
