It’s not effective because the press covers them skeptically and the my don’t have their own propaganda outfit.

The Dems message this but the Republicans have a propaganda outfit and the Dems do not an it shows.

No one needs to do business with Palantir. They don’t have a moat around their service.

I thought Kate Willet lived in SF. Why does her poor judgement need to be applied across the country?

Killing someone with your car is one of the most protected rights in America. You can kill tons of people and get away with it.

Police departments across the US are quietly leveraging school district security cameras to assist Donald Trump’s mass immigration enforcement campaign, an investigation by @the74.bsky.social reveals.

He doesn’t even really believe this. His example in the following post is the YIMBY movement but he certainly isn’t out every day saying it’s bad Scott Weiner has championed those ideas.

There just isn’t much of a set of ideas behind conservatism beyond change being hard and some people thinking they’re better than others.

Cause organizing is hard. You have to direct lots of people to do what you want. ICE was set up to do what they want on immigration. But election enforcement is another matter.

Had plenty of opportunities to do something so far this year and it hasn’t worked. All the flips are rep to dem. Dems won both Governor elections in states Trump had made progress in. It’s a lot of work to organize something like that and no evidence they’re doing the work.

Stephen A being the dem nominee probably would help finish us off as a country.

No I’m sorry I have a different perspective than you do. But happy to end the conversation here.

Behind Trump’s 2024 Victory, a More Racially and Ethnically Diverse Voter Coalition Pew Research Center’s in-depth study of its survey respondents who voted in the 2024 election examines turnout, voting patterns and demographics.

The Pew study points in the same direction I am.

Legal Arguments are more powerful when capitalized.

I think Tyler Austin Harper is unfortunately just stupid, but still smart enough to realize that it’s easier and better attention and money wise to adopt this dumb set of takes he puts out.

Also the best football team often doesn’t win. Does anything think the 2007 Giants were β€œbetter” than the 2007 Patriots? No but they made the plays to win.

Why are you mad the difference was a great defensive play?

Ball inside the 25? Yeah I am.

Ohio State and Miami had the same number of straight offensive drives ending in touchdowns. Miami had one long field goal. Ohio State missed their’s. The defensive touchdown, which meant Ohio State didn’t have at least another short field goal try, was the key difference. What are you arguing?

13.02.2026 18:52 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Scored 2 touchdowns buddy.

13.02.2026 18:48 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 2    πŸ“Œ 0

Otherwise Ohio State likely at least scores a field goal. 10 point swing in a 10 point game.

The pick 6 was the difference.

That’s why I bring this guy up. He wasn’t aligned with the left or any of those things. And I think he represents a lot more voters. Many people just wake up every day with their job, friends family and don’t get engaged with much else. Biden needed a bigger margin in Philly than he got.

Not enough voters showed up though. You can dispel it all you want but this was Philly in October 2024 and after that trip I was really worried Trump was going to win and he did. Some of it was the lies and information environment but this guy reminded me most average people just don’t see it.

13.02.2026 18:21 β€” πŸ‘ 3    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

I’m not saying it is but you can look at how many Biden voters didn’t vote for Harris and ask why they didn’t. Many of those voters were working class and lower engagement. My discussion with this guy showed me what that kind of perspective looks like. He didn’t see anything concrete that mattered.

The right wing authoritarianism is not related to economic anxiety it’s true. But the disaffection amongst potentially persuadable dem voters is somewhat related to performance. I had a Black service worked in Philly say to me before the election it just didn’t matter who won. He’d still be stuck.
