Has any theory in international relations been more discredited than blowback?

Today at church I sat behind a middle schooler I’ve never talked to, who spent the whole service drawing on a notepad. At the end of the hour she stood up, turned around, and showed me the drawing. β€œThis is you as a dog,” she said

yes but he’s also β€œreintroducing” himself because his brand is toxic and much of the party is radicalized against him (a position that seems perfectly fair to me).

hard to square presenting that person as the de facto leader of the party with the idea that this is not in service of an agenda.

he is not, by any rational measure, the de facto leader of the party. that’s absurd.

fair enough. he’s been behind in the other polls I’ve seen. behind Harris in some, behind Pete in NH.

there is no metric by which this is true. even 2028 primary polling (which is meaningless in general but seems like a fair yardstick here) doesn’t have him on top.

just a brazen attempt to impose him on us by the rich and the commentariat.

give or take? there are definitely anti-imperialist people who are finding their way into antisemitism through antizionism.

it’s wild how everyone hates Fetterman (correctly) and there’s a guy running who’s basically holding a huge I’m The Next Fetterman sign and it hasn’t slowed him down at all

That may be true. And also as a Jew who is worried for my own safety and the safety of my family by the aggressive mainstreaming of violent antisemitic conspiracism across the political spectrum, this is an insanely callous response.

she is, as far as I know, a pretty good person with pretty good politics. never heard anyone say anything bad about her personally.

agree that only WL’s AI has been good for research. we have some AI stuff that’s pretty good with facts though. decent timelines and summaries. not bad with first drafts of the fact sections of letters and the like. good for finding facts in document heavy cases.

there’s so much going on here but listing Donald Trump as a celebrity who supports Donald Trump is truly incredible work

it’s a ridiculous to think you’d need blackmail to get Lindsey to sign off on unchecked bombing of Iran (but also we all know what they have on Lindsey to the point that it’s hard to imagine it actually having any persuasive value)
