“people that I find personally annoying are the reason the other side wins elections” is the laziest possible form of political analysis

It feels like it’s the only kind of politics we do nowadays though.

Like James Carville and 90% of the TechBros, he was right about one thing, once, and now thinks everything he says is gospel.

What was Carville right about? Genuine question as I was only born in the 80s

He's the one who pushed Clinton to building his campaign around the economy, and I'm pretty sure he's the one behind the catchphrase, "It's the economy stupid." He's been basically riding that success ever since, IMHO. (And thanks for asking, genuine questions are always appreciated!)

and it's the sole political analysis of a solid 40% of punditry

A lot of punditry is connected people benefiting from a sinecure.

Even equating this whole app as a whole to one community is crazy. I swear some X users have Stockholm Syndrome. I can understand wanting to stay over there because it has more content but giving up your identity to an app like that is crazy work.

I was thinking today about how a lot of people talk about "normal people" as if they are not also pretty normal.

“People that don’t like me are the reason you aren’t successful. You should avoid people that don’t like me.”

Bluesky has been around for about 5 minutes in social media lifetimes. Why not expand the thought out to the size of "people who wish to preserve democracy shouldn't be allowed to talk to each other".

I hope one day the word normal will only have a negative meaning.

The only reason we ever see his crappy personal hunches now is b/c he once built a brand on the rigorous, neutral statistical analysis of politics. Horseshoe theory?

The Left must always be more like The Right and The Right can continue to do whatever it wants. - mainstream political pundits for as long as I’ve been alive

It's not even logical what Silver said

90% of former leaders fading in any field is that they never took a moment to go "Huh, maybe I fucked something up here if people who I agree with 90% of the time are calling me out" instead of just posting through it

What if the person I find personally annoying is Nate Silver? And he does wreck every election with his bumbling foolishness?

He really went "this side will only win if they stop associating with people I don't like and that smell like poo, cause I said so."

considering what nate bronze does to be “analysis” is very generous of you

Does he not realize how "annoying" people were in 2020 in lead up to Biden winning? Stuff like episodes of Community and Always Sunny were permanently removed from streaming sites!! And it didnt matter one bit
