"black jobs" seems to have been one of the real takeaways from the debate that a lot of people on the dem side are just pretending didn't happen because they're too busy texting maga habbs

its all the more remarkable because these dipshit nates want people to treat them with the reverence of data scientists, but uh at no point would a social scientist worth their salt go to bat for survey's with those kind of response rates

I am a major booster, and I am just real concerned that the recruits aren't going to connect with an older guy. I don't like the offensive coordinator though, so I think we need to hire someone else. I hear that *spins wheel* Mike Tomlin is tired of the NFL.

Yeah I mean ousting your own nominee is a coup regardless, but my read is effectively that — there’s some very dumb, very twitchy people who are playing into the hands of the media, but there’s not a lever to pull so it’s all meaningless wankery

I think people who think politics is like sports are usually wrong in their analysis of how shit actually works, but woo boy are they right about how *people who follow politics* behave

These dipshits can’t plot a coup of their nominee correctly because none of them get how this works

A read of the situation informed by a good understanding of organizational sociology would probably tell you that since theres near zero formal structural to this situation pretending that “they are choosing” is dumb

Say more — are you asking “does having a better understanding of how power works provide oracular suggestions for the course of action I want”

My take away remains that a lot of people invested in politics have near zero concept of organizational sociology or power dynamics

my real problem with dance of the dragons is how basically eveyr major character is miserable as a person. i think the show has done a good job of giving people depth, especially alicent and rhaenyra, but man it is assholes all the way down.

Biden's big problem is he's old and we don't know if polls are accurate or not. The Beltway Dems are shitting their pants, as they are wont to do, because they're scared of their shadows on a good day. The media is gleefully stoking this of course because they have craved an interesting story.

its so dumb. like even if you think (as i do) that we shouldn't be here, you should be honest about what you want. i ahve a helluva lot more respect for people who just say "i need joe biden to reassure me, personally, that he can do this" and not pretend the will of the voters is the same as mine
