I’m not sure what the surefire way to win the election is but I am fairly certain a sure way to lose is to spend the next 4 months with Democrats talking about how much their candidate sucks and how we’re doomed

Reading a story about the election that casually referred to "Biden's slide in the polls" and it just remains remarkable to me that narrative reporters can just drop stuff like that into copy and never think twice about whether it has any basis in fact.

This is my whole thing. I have been reflecting today and yesterday about the odd response I have been getting to "this is a classic disinformation campaign" (denial, mostly) and I think I understand it now - I think it's getting read as "vote blue no matter who" type statements. But all I'm trying

Also - Dear furry tech people: Heritage is run by people who are connected and well-resourced, although not necessarily all that sharp. So please remember that even if nothing else you did or know about is remotely illegal, it's a felony to lie to the feds and every day is STFU Friday, m'kay?

Meanwhile, what I keep seeing among so many regular folks is concern over Project 2025 and frustration that Dems aren't talking about it.

I doubt that bit of rat-fuckery was the deciding factor in a campaign against Clinton that included Putin and Comey, among others.

adults don't refrain from doing what they think is right bc somebody might say "no." or more generally, "wahh what if it doesn't work?" i actually think changing the candidate at this point is sheer madness and they should be stumping as hard as humanly possible instead of melting down like babies

It's not weird, doomerism is the single most effective disinfo campaign against the youth and the non-youth left, because that's attacking their greatest strengths, their hope and idealism

Hmm, he did choose her as VP, so that’s a crack at it, and she chose not to primary him, she has not called for him to step aside. She seems to be campaigning hard to get the ticket re-elected.

He’s just sorry he got caught expressing it. I think our media environment would improve if they would reckon with their biases and not pretend to be above it all, “the view from nowhere”

Also note: the press spin on an event matters. So what they get wrong–perhaps more precisely, what they omit–is deeply important.

IOW: in the name of "nonpartisanship" Joe Kahn's @nytimes.com is making a huge in-kind contribution to Trump by simply failing to cover his campaign in full.

All the US news headlines about France being in “political limbo” and “uncertainty” now are wild to read, because the actual vibe over here is “whatever, we got a coalition that kept the fascists from getting in control, we’ll figure out the rest as we go”

The fact that the stock market is going up, up, up under Biden and those uber rich fuckers still want more tax breaks from the Orange maniac tells you everything you need to know about them! They’re a bunch of greedy, selfish assholes who don’t give a shit about this country!

This chorus has been singing for over a week, and Biden seems even less likely to withdraw - time to shut up and get to work re-electing him

And all the 2nd guessing by his own party only makes this more likely. Just settle down and get to work (not you, the Michael Bennets and others who go pissing on themselves for the media - y’all are not helping)

This is a good overview of a lot of what's wrong with the utility system we have. The main issue is that we run the grid for profits rather than for human well-being, and there is no amount of "reform" that can solve this fundamental design. To run the grid differently, make power public.
