most successful progressive president of my lifetime being eaten alive by terrified centrist lemmings in the party because he dared defy the New York Times will be something I will never forgive or forget tbh

Just to be clear why this is odd -- the narrative I see pundits pitch is that the public is obsessed with Biden's age and the Project 2025 story is not breaking through. These searches aren't perfect proxies but this complicates that a bit at least.

If you tell voters that the Democratic and Republican candidates both agree on Israel's current approach, the Democratic candidate *loses* four points.

This post is a really perfect example of the insufficiency of “liberal” as a descriptor because what tf do you mean by “liberals” Democratic donors? A few congresspeople? The largely illiberal media?

WBD's stock price has tanked ~78% since David Zaslav was announced as CEO— $32.68 on 05/19/21 to $7.32, today— to say nothing of the brand loyalty, goodwill, & creative talent he's destroyed. It is amazing & genuinely horrifying that anyone could fail this badly, & remain in a position of authority

If this is true then Americans would be basically voting positively for the installation of a hereditary Trump empire. I do not believe that is what the American electorate wants.

If the state polls we're seeing are true, it's not just a problem we need to address; we are genuinely, unrecoverably fucked. I don't believe them. I don't believe for a moment that Trump can win New York. If he can, we're talking Trump winning 400 EVs & an honest-to-God democratic mandate.

David Zaslav has failed at literally everything he was hired to do and he should have every cent he's earned garnished and used to compensate all the people he fucked over in his pursuit of this unmitigated disaster of a result.

This isn't news, as national polls also haven't found a massive shift. They have found *a* shift though. How do you square the circle? Two different samples pre and post plus differential partisan non-response. Basically, post debate Dems answered the phone less.

If any other high-profile presidential candidate gave one speech this rambling and unhinged, it would be a major story. Trump, of course, has given dozens of such speeches in this campaign cycle.

Hey! Remember Republicans saying "Obamacare will make death panels to kill your grandma!"? Then you should probably go check out chapter 14 of the Project 2025 manifesto. Because every Conservative/Republican accusation is a confession.

“I think campaigning for president is harder than being president and his brain doesn’t work so he can’t do the first but he can totally do the second” is not a position to take seriously but it’s what a lot of people have tied themselves to.

I'm terrified that Trump dying will mean less anti-trump turnout so a republican wins and we still lose the republic. Of course it could mean less pro-trump turnout and we do win but it's scary. I don't know.
