This is in contrast to Harris’s campaign where at no point was she expected to win and yet they didn’t try something else.

In retrospect, they should have done different things. At the time, they should have tried some things to increase the margin. But the campaign appeared to be doing well based on the available evidence.

The polls showed Clinton likely winning in 2016. There are things that even at that time they could have done better, but this is largely Monday morning quarterbacking.

Half a century of low-trust leftist messaging about how capitalism is akshully just fascism with a gilded veneer hasn't turned the public into socialists but it has convinced an awful lot of ppl that it's actually just normal and expected for powerful ppl to rig markets for their friends.

Reducing road fatalities is way mo’ important than reducing murders by the same percentage.

RFK Jr is an HIV/AIDs denialist so this tracks.

Pretty grim to go back and read this. The media liked Trump and helped him win the election.

Fixed it for you. Idiots! If the exclusion is based on appearance then it will certainly impact cis folks as well as trans folks.

I’ve seen the new Acela twice in the wild. But what I really want to see is the new NJT cars.

This story is nuts.

"ICE agents then surrounded the judge’s car and demanded everyone to exit the vehicle, threatening to smash in the windows if they did not comply."

Is the menswear guy running the Department of Transportation?

First time I’ve wished I was still in academia. I always liked the crank emails.

If anyone wants a bear who uses AI and gives advice about BDSM and knives, I’m single.

Good news for Larry Summers, he’s going to be able ask relationship advice from an LLM soon.

They lied about it. All of it. A thug cop shot an unarmed woman five times without justification, boasted about it to his colleagues, and then this administration tried cover it all up by arresting her and charging her with felonies.

the kids are all right, but some kids are alt right

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Elon Musk Could 'Drink Piss Better Than Any Human in History,' Grok Says Grok has been reprogrammed to say Musk is better than everyone at everything, including blowjobs, piss drinking, playing quarterback, conquering Europe, etc.

Incredible headline.

There is a real possibility that an immediate move to impeach and convict in the hours after Jan. 6 would have succeeded and Trump would have been disqualified. Republican opposition to conviction noticeably stiffened once the Fox News machine kicked in days later. But Pelosi dithered for a week

Remember how, during Trump’s first impeachment, it became clear there was an entire server full of extremely incriminating calls between Trump and foreign leaders - and Pelosi literally killed efforts to get that server because she preferred a “quick, narrow” impeachment that would be “simple”?

Not many young people know this but it is generally pretty unusual for the president to outright call for the mass executions of elected members of the opposition party

It certainly appears that the United States government is run by neo-Nazis.

um.

If this is what you're reaching for as a *comforting* comparison...

It is particularly galling that Trump is calling for the execution of people who actually served honorably in the military, while he took a bone spur exemption and famously boasted that his Vietnam was dodging syphilis in 70s New York.

Just a historically loathsome figure by any measure.

Love to see new apartments going up along the train right-of-way.

Elon is a bullshit artist but some people are letting negative polarization rewrite their brain to become against objectively good things that he has unfortunately branded himself as being associated with. Actually working self driving cars are obviously good and will likely save many lives.

Both caucuses are fucking furious with the senate this is incredible.

It’s exactly like Russiagate, a true story that a bunch of right wing hacks did their best to discredit
