Wut?

Yuuuuuuuppppp

I find it interesting that some high powered bankers, academics, and economists are able to tell the truth about the economy and some feel the need to lie about everything.

Like, aesthetically, this looks great. They nailed it.

Honestly, the Democrats would be much better off if they copied this instead of shitting on it, acting as if they are too cool to do a little propaganda work.

If someone with Bernie Sanders’ politics had this kind of production value on their anti-Trump shit?

That’s the shit that wins.

Imagine trying to work across the aisle with people actively trying to hide the fact that the leader of their party is implicated in criminal activity by Jeffrey Epstein himself

Can’t believe he chose Pootie Tang

Sample size is never big enough for me when you start breaking it down too much.

I’d just like to know if the people who swung towards Trump in 2024 would have voted for Biden (even as Biden’s approval rating was in the shitter)

Yes, but how do I know, looking at an approval poll, whether someone hates Schumer from the right or from the left?

How do I know whether the people who do approve only do so because they don’t like the other options?

That’s why my head-to-head approval will tell us more about the person answering

I guess if you are more affected by flight delays than by massive increases in your health care costs (from about $300/mo to about $1000/mo), this would be your take.

I would think of $700 a month as a significant budget hit, but what do I know?

I find approval ratings to be a poor determinant of how someone feels.

Do I think Schumer sucks ass? Yes.

Do I also prefer him 100% to Trump? Also yes.

I propose opinion head-to-heads. Who do you prefer: Trump or AOC? JD Vance or Elizabeth Warren?

It’d give us better idea of the electorate.

I was just wondering if the menswear guy has weighed in on this. I bet he already has a thread.

He seems like a real shithead! Don’t worry, I got the main gist of the article and the writing got better. The Empire State Building stuff at the end was a perfect kicker.

I don’t think you can discount this shift by blaming it on restriction of voting rights, in part because the black women’s vote in 2024 was almost identical to 2020.

I think misogyny is probably a better explanation, but you don’t seem to want to talk about that.

Anyway, have a good one.

I’m not “dunking”. I just don’t like it when articles don’t provide clarity.

And again, I think you’d be happier if you didn’t take on this “scolding” personality that you insist on adopting. But that’s just my opinion.

Have a nice day.

Young Black and Latino men say they chose Trump because of the economy and jobs. Here's how and why Black and Latino voters moved toward Republican Donald Trump in this year's presidential election, and some of the biggest shifts were among men under age 45, and that helped expand his margin over De...

I’m sorry if this is the first you’re hearing about this, but in close elections, these kind of shifts can make a significant difference:

Sounds like you’re doing the generalizing now.

How do you know those people were “Christian”?

How do you explain to move towards Trump among (young) black & Hispanic men?

Maybe just take a breath and relax, I was just making a small point and now you’re mad on the internet.

Not sure what point you’re making here. I was just upset that the wording of that sentence created an extremely false picture of where the country is at.

Okay, but that little slip *drastically* changes the sentence (and the amount of people we’re talking about)

The cavers are going to be onside. No question about that. They are team players, possibly doing what Schumer told them to do.

The problem is that there are a lot of people (who aren’t the cavers) that feel pissed off & betrayed by the cavers.

That says 16 percent

I got a couple of paragraphs in… this isn’t true. He didn’t win men under 30 by that much.

Hahahahah they were just playing a trick on us where they’d pretend to fight back until we voted for them, and then immediately cave www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

The people who call Democrats “controlled opposition”, the Republicans talking about the “uniparty” and the people who post this dumb ratchet graphic have never been more vindicated:

The end of Tupac’s Hit ‘Em Up, but targeted at Senate Democrats.

Okay, but the Democrats are using that agency to fuck us over.

If the Dems will cave on this there is no right of yours that they will not throw away if it means they can go on vacation.

I hate them with my whole heart.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

Whatever else is in the deal, agreeing to merely have a vote on ACA is a fig leaf. Even if it passes the Senate, it won't in the House, which also makes it an easy yes vote for the Senate Rs who might want to, defusing it as an attack on them.

It is a stupid ask even on Team Schumer's own terms.

I'm the spouse of an air traffic controller and I could not be more livid at the news that Dems might cave. I called and left voicemails for my Dem senators. If my family can hold the fucking line, so can they.
