Political Behavior Commentary

Focused on the behaviours that move and shape politics and in turn shape behaviours, instead of regurgitating political hx, theories, and long explanations of political events that would never have occurred without human behaviours.

One of the things I wish u media/academia would talk about is how far right awa how opposing political power (dems) have allowed far right make US ed/media/politics/etc waste resources to re-litigate fights that have been won diverting them from addressing vital issues like climate/poverty/etc.

That point is knocking 7 million or more attending No Kings protest from front page. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

Why even post if the figures vary so widely? Why not wait until they’re able to get a better handle of the numbers?

Using terms trophy and conquest is exactly how Trump wants media to frame his deliberately escalating violence to cement his dictatorship.

That’s the entire problem. Trump
got in WH bec no one thought an ignorant, vengeful grifter would get that far. What’s frustrating is u all think he’s the exception, when this happens all the time. Haven’t u heard of failing up? This is on all us, not on Trump.

That really pisses me off to no end. Why rnt outcries re anti-vax idiocy running HHS not include celebrities whose stupidity, self-involvement, over-extended view of their own importance like McCarthy made them think they had the right to spread dangerous nonsense? Why isn’t a/o going after her?

History is written by those who are wanting to write it. Also, there are other political groups that have power over the goal post (pssst, it's the @democrats.org). So, far, I'm not seeing that party lifting a fucking finger to stop the re-writing. They leave it to social media for public awareness.

U know why? Because u fucking Democrats did NOTHING to hold him accountable, especially by refusing to build a mssg machine to control narrative. Had Pelosi used her vast political power in Trump's impeachment for Jan 6 as she did to oust Biden, McConnell might have gotten Senate to convict Trump.

Sure, sure, Eisner. We all are confident that if u were in Iger’s position that u’d w/o hesitation protect ur entertainment assets risking the $B merger. We know not all CEOs d/n put shareholders ahem bonus over what’s right. We just c/n find such principled people in corporate world.

Sorry. Still not impressed from Schumer. This has been long-time in the making esp since the Limbaugh Fox News start. Fucking Dems IGNORED HUNDREDS of road signs over the decades. They were incredibly deluded esp must win 2024, that they could serve donors, listen to consultants instead of voters.

Uh, remember a few years ago Mitch McConnell’s wife’s sister drowned when her Tesla car ran into a body of water and she couldn’t open the door and she was frantically calling/texting?

Likely article d/n address SCOTUS. It’s a huge mistake bec the 6 cons rulings are inextricable from Trump’s actions. Academia esp legal academia needs to drag those rulings in public making it clear that because they are legally unsound, they should be viewed as having little validity for the public

3 layers of amplification of Trump talking point and why/how he dominates all of media including on the left: 1st layer is Trump answering major media’s inane questions that have no value, 2nd layer Trump’s stenographer for left @acyn.bsky.social, 3rd layer is retweet by another left/prog account.

I see only one reply here pointing out a @gagop.bsky.social senate candidate called ICE. As I suspected u all prom political journos/scholars also stay w/in ur silo when s/t it's lesser known accnts that have their ears to the ground.

Excellent, excellent, excellent. This makes the most sense of what's happening to Trump, really gels together the multiple disparate factors, including Trump's sudden preoccupation with death. Shout out to @reallyamerican.bsky.social whose video I came across that featured this thread.

Problem is many is us have no clue what it is that weighs us down, and we don’t have a small fortune and years (decades) to spend on therapists to plod thru our childhood to find out.

Who r if not Dems in a position to launch nat’l campaign to educate the public, to call out repeatedly/block exposure to those including major media spreading dangerous lies? Why d/n the party do that? Political laziness, refusal to face current reality, and stupid belief in all out free speech.

U know AIPAC will counter by using your Muslim heritage to evoke fear/anger over terrorism, and they will succeed in β€œothering” u in many voters’ eyes. Make a video like this that hits hard about ur values, aspirations are the voters: peace, freedom, prosperity, family, community, etc.

There was a tweet by Nina Totenberg who said Roberts ruled for Trump on POTUS immunity on crimes because of his frustration as attorney under Reagan/Bush that shaped his pro unitary power stance for the presidency.

Would it have really been a bother for u if ur post contained relevant info? Or is it that u think u needn’t bother because those of us who are unfamiliar w/these countries will find out from other posts?

Okay. How about not being so lazy by using the vast amt of chars u have left by including who the other two are, what country they’re from, and what the fuck is the agreement? Otherwise what is the value of ur post? Or is this post a joke?

If u journos, democratic advocates face Dems present/past failure to be proactively fighting for democracy INCLUDING campaigning in a way that reaches voters that Dems failed to do 2016/2024 so that those voters will vote them in, we can know if today’s Dems will reverse Trump dictatorship.

U know what a bigger story is that NONE OF JOURNOS R EVEN AWR OF? IF/how/when Dems WILL/WANT TO/BE ABLE TO dismantle the Trump’s ICE deportation program should Dem get back WH. I think u prom journos awa Dems not tackling today’s political event shaping the future is partly how we got Trump.

U did a lot better than Sam Seder. I had to stop watching his because he was mostly ceding to the right-wingers, and I think his was in many ways promoting the unintelligible, uninformed but dangerous beliefs that don't at all reflect reality. Why are they all young, tho?

It's not journos ur hearing. Ur hearing voices of corporate owners of @politico.com @axios.com @msnbc.com @nbcnews.com @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy @nytimes.com @washingtonpost.com @postopinions.bsky.social who d/n realize how much being ultra wealthy traps them in mediocrity.
