The focus on who wins the House is also silly. Who gets there also matters. And a world where Dem state have fair maps and GOP states do not leads to a house that is systematically biased to the right.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

They should face the consequences of their decisions. Kavanaugh stop them every single day.

I can’t believe that you are agreeing to fund a government that is violating our most fundamental rights.

someone should ask him where does he think POTUS is on that curve.

Do you know if there are any groups in Seattle or WA pushing for gerrymandering the state? I’d like to join that fight.

now we know that the real value of those stories was the comments by the peers that she never bothered to collect.

i think this time they don’t want just power; they want domination.

I think you need to explain why making a point today that damaged their net approval on the issue is counterproductive, considering that closer to the election the GOP machinery will raise the salience of the issue regardless.

Better yet. SCOTUS budget.

i love how you take reasonable concerns and associate them to “hardcore bluesky fans”. AAMOF Elon himself used to say that bots and algorithms were an existential threat to freedom of speech.

You did not explicitly. But then why would you single out one variable (out of potentially thousands) that happens to move the same way as silver if we don’t believe there is *some* (causal) link between the two?

I’m not making a causal claim but I’m sort of doing a causal claim.

The argument that the impetus is clearly partisan and not racial because one cannot find a non-discriminatory map that gives same partisan advantage is bananas.

We all know that maintaining American culture means to them keeping it white.

Glad to see vibe MattY taking a break and academic paper MattY making an appearance!

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

Agree. if you look at the Chilean election results, people seem to want leaderships that challenge the corrupt status quo. It is our work to offer a version of that that is moral and positive sum.

A big problem with the “Dems should run more moderates” is that all the current ones suck at doing politics and never achieve good deals for their moderate causes.

Seems like a big problem for the moderation strategy is that it brews terrible politicians.

The structure is provided by the great man theory of history.

What if he had stuck with defund the police but paired it with big-ass truck abundance for NYC?
