There is no policy arena in which Democrats have a unified belief that can be communicated to voters. Not on a $15 minimum wage, not on universal healthcare, not on student loan debt, etc. Even as some are signing onto legislation to ban weapons to Israel, another group is on an AIPAC sponsored tour

People in Los Angeles have been protesting 24 hours for 2 weeks straight and no news outlet is covering it!

AI isn't magic. AI is land, real estate, and energy.

Do not get on this internet on the 20th anniversary of Katrina and rehabilitate George Bush I swear to god.

Why can't it be both?

If Texas finds itself unable to gerrymander, Dems should still go full steam ahead in CA, NY, and wherever else. Because they were planning to do it, and you need to punish that.

It’s not the revision that got her fired. It’s the weak job growth.

How reliable is U.S. economic data? It's a growing risk for investors awaiting the next Fed rate cut.

Also, here's a statement from Morningstar from before the firing where they express concern about data quality, so to more to the point that they don't want fake data. www.morningstar.com/news/marketw...

In the absence of any conflicting statements, JP Morgan is representative. Your claim is only based on conjecture.

The post you're replying to is evidence against your claim.

My father (still alive; not yet 80) is older than both the Civil Rights Act and the state of Israel.

I saw someone pointing out that this era is a perfect counterargument to technocracy, or to other claims that the general population shouldn't have a role in policymaking because it's too uneducated or uninformed. Our ruling class has proven itself to be completely susceptible to quackery.

Does that apply to American capitalists too? Or just the European ones?

There is no adult in the room, no one in charge. Turns out a semi-rationalistic elite was, maximum, a 50 year conscious project that was abandoned and can't be taken as an "ideal type" for a ruling class under capitalism.

No one was more disinterested in the Democrats winning elections in 2024 than the Democrats were.

this is a must-read. and it's not great that zero democratic politicians/candidates have been willing to speak up about this level of corruption over the last decade. no wonder consultants are so terrified zohran

The problem is far bigger than Jeffrey Epstein | Rebecca Solnit Treating the scandal as an aberration misunderstands the global epidemic of violence against women

"One of the reasons the epidemic of violence against women is so unacknowledged is because cases like these are talked about individually, and often treated as though they are shocking aberrations rather than part of a pervasive pattern that operates at all levels of society."

Let’s not forget that it was Biden’s policy of accommodation to Bukele that enabled this. The last admin halted criticism of his abuses of power, helped secure him a $1.4b IMF loan, and appointed a friendly ambassador, thinking it would make him more pliable and democratic.

Is there way to see what these votes were?

This is the second largest 2m revision on record. In general they get larger at cyclical turning points. We take more signal that we are at a cyclical turning point than that there is some data collection conspiracy

Too much "we're cooked" & not enough "we're not gonna take this shit"

The Bureau Labor Statistics Jobs Numbers Are Right, We Can Check There is zero reason to question the integrity of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) jobs numbers.

Of course the Bureau of Labor Statistics is right about job growth and Trump is lying, but just in case you wanted to check, you can substack.com/home/post/p-...

I have the starting lineups of about 20 or 30 World Series winning teams memorized. Much better use of time.

I have memorized the starting lineups of almost every world series winning team between ~1989-2005 and I am quite happy I did that instead of watching weirdo YouTube videos about frog pheromones.

Immigration is like trans rights in this way: despite obvious widespread bigotry, most working class citizens are actually pretty sympathetic to migrants, except when stirred up by media panic and fascist agitation. So polling numbers fluctuate wildly based on media cycles.

Counting things is, actually, political. It’s laden with choices about what to count, who gets to count and who gets counted, how to display numbers in ways that shape the possible frames for interpretation or which are more or less accessible, etc

Holy shit is this not a joke? I'm having trouble reading this as non-irony.
