That’s the moderate position. The liberal/left position is they all go to prison for conspiracy. And the radical position is a ToS violation to put in print.

@lizteratures.bsky.social I propose a deal: if the avalanche ever play the hurricanes on the same week that the Blazers play the Hornets in Charlotte, we get together for both games.

Pretty telling that populous red states gerrymandered to hell and back, populous blue states took the moral high ground and they *still* can’t win the House by more than 5 seats.

My foundational theory of politics is if there was ever widespread education on the concept of marginal taxation, the GOP would cease to be a national party in a generation and to exist in two. This fact is precisely why there is no such widespread education on the concept of marginal taxation.

See, and I kinda went the other way on this—in my teens and 20’s I looked into contacts, LASIK, “eye strengthening regimens”…literally anything to not be a four eyes. But it’s been over 3/4 of my life now and the vanity just isn’t worth it anymore. It’s who I am.

To add to this: you don’t even need to “get it”—this isn’t something that requires you to understand a lived experience. If Mike from accounting is now Micah, the only thing that changes for you is the name you use for them and maybe how they’re likely to dress for work. Pretty simple shit.

As I’ve continually boosted since first seeing @kenwhite.bsky.social articulate it : the moderate position is “Abolish ICE”. The liberal/leftist position is they all go to prison for conspiracy. And the extremist position is a ToS violation I can’t put in print.

The best you can hope for is that he’s convinced himself that he’s found a new grift that he can get a cut of and because he knows Europe wants Ukraine to win, he’s leveraging that. There’s never any moral principle involved, but maybe for a change he can do the right thing for the wrong reasons.

Whomever black voters tell us it is. Instead of playing parlor games about this, how about us white liberals STFU, let the candidates shoot their shot with our party’s bedrock constituency, and listen to their choice? Seems like a better strategy than getting bent about our primary fav losing 🤷🏻♂️

I believe it was popehat a couple weeks ago that said “Abolish ICE” *is* the moderate position. The liberal/left position was they were all charged with RICO/conspiracy, and I can’t say was the extremist position is without a ToS violation.

Huh. You can despise the government and ruling institutions of a Middle East country and yet NOT hate their people as a whole nor want to see them bombed to oblivion. I wonder if this nuanced thinking might apply to any other conflicts in the area which always get reduced to absolutist positions 🤔

The right views disinformation as an investment. The MSM does not view news as a public good…and even if they did, their shareholders don’t. This asymmetry is a critical weakness in an open society where free speech is ostensibly guaranteed.

Jeremy (@jeremythejedi.bsky.social) reply parent
If we want elections to stop being existential, we need a shared reality. Otherwise, nothing the non-right ever does will ever be allowed to register, let alone be seen as truth. And that’s a dealbreaker for conservatives b/c fact based reality is incompatible with their belief system.
Jeremy (@jeremythejedi.bsky.social) reply parent
The strategy is this: destroy the conservative disinformation machine. We are where we are thanks to a 50 year project by the right of redefining reality to suit their interests and we underestimated both their drive and effectiveness at nearly every step.
