First Wordle Problems

(And will do so again, if by some miracle his case ever goes to trial!)

(First ten minutes of DAWN OF THE DEAD? Masterful.)

Like it's easy to see something like "300" as pulp fascism or whatever because boy it's there if you want to see it! But you know SYNDER didn't REALLY have any deep thoughts about it. He liked the book! He liked "Watchmen," apparently, while not really getting it!

Winning elections is like how William Goldman described making movies -- "nobody knows anything". If somebody says they have the One Weird Trick to make a good candidate, they're selling something. Sometimes you just lose.

Yeah being right-curious hit different like fifteen years ago. Just made you seem kinda dumb or willfully eccentric, rather than entirely untouchable.

yeah this is just Larry David or whatever

Yeah he's banking on the wind feeling a lot different in six months to a year, and it may be a good bet! Brown is still beloved in all the quarters that he was five years ago.

I mean uh...well...okay, sort of. In the sense that Brown is (in his own rumply way) charismatic and is certainly "populist"! But culturally he codes VEEERY differently, and of course is a known and beloved figure, not an exciting newcomer.

oh of course yeah; my legislation is stuck in the twentieth century. My bad. (Gerontocracy!)

Oh if it's really the wave year we want he can DEFINITELY win. Not a sure thing YET, but we can hope it will be.

Just make it illegal for them to get a book deal and recruitment will dry right up.

I guess some non-Ohio folks didn't love him in '24 since he ran far away from Harris and really any "cultural" stuff. But that was just a rock-bottom necessity, not a reflection of him per se.

Yeah it’s kind of his whole deal! A very particular brand, that guy.

They're just using space travel as a metaphor for spousal abuse.

A good ninja can take down three to five hogs per minute. We can wrap this whole thing up in 10.

If you look at “control of chambers of Congress” over the past few decades it’s more-or-less even I think. (I did the math once, I forget.)

People (of all sides) hate when you bring this up. “Dems are weak and feckless” is such an unkillable meme that it does no good to point they win…about half the elections, as you’d expect in an evenly divided country with bizarrely volatile and ill-informed swing voters.That’s boring!

At that point we should just REALLY think big and send a whole submarine. You never know!

I was like “hoo boy bet this will be funny” and I clicked.

Reader, it was not funny. What did I just read

tough but fair

the precious “people” want a damned magical daddy who will make the burgers cheap and the money big. They don’t know shit about “Israel” or what have you. We should maybe just run the best candidates.

Yeah guess we gotta go back to white, male, anti-abortion, anti-gay-marriage candidates the people have spoken lol

Okay so yes it’s funny because it’s Duffy but apparently this isn’t as out-of-the-blue or as pointless as you first thought.

Roughly this. (see below) Gets used a lot on here to describe the political vibe of relentlessly refusing to be satisfied or take "yes" for an answer:

"...poetry makes nothing happen it exists / In the valley of its saying where executives / Would never want to tamper"

This is just to say
That poetry is just
Fancy prose
Such verse
Wow

My MOM says I'm cool.

you see what had happened was

Right yeah, and the point of the OP is that given what the current environment seems to be, it’s basically gonna be impossible to skew things enough. The math’s unforgiving. (And so, we hope, is the electorate.)

shoes, without a doubt
