contrary to predictions by centrists it was not in fact racism that turned the tides against Rs. You can be as bigoted as you want if you dont start an unpopular war. "Racist! we have a racist here! no one cares"

I just can't picture a person doing any serious knowledge work where the kind of research assistance that frontier models offer isn't useful. If doing more research faster doesn't appeal to you, you have a fake job

Genuinely shocking to see the Doctor/Lawyer neighborhoods shift red amid a national blue wave. The kind of person who lives in Kenwood tends to be a 65yo lifelong Democrat who you would see at a No Kings rally

I’m rooting for the Abundance Centrist Libs but it’s the kind of rooting that you do for a likable journeyman QB who clearly doesn’t have the gifts anyone is going to build a championship team around

Abundance liberalism isn’t electorally viable until you guys get your contempt for voters under control
Average Colorado Voter: “Hello, yes, I would like the furthest left candidate available. I would also like to change state law to impose the guillotine for misdemeanor theft, raise property taxes but also cut my income taxes, life in prison for that drug but legalize the fun one”

DSA grifters will keep eating your lunch and destabilizing your coalition until you can swallow your pride and win over moderate conservatives with tough on crime messaging

what’s actually going to happen is that they’re going to spend the next two years doing performative impeachment proceedings of the entire Trump cabinet while quietly diverting money to their ethnic sinecure industrial complex You’re not getting rent control You’re not getting data center bans You’re not getting healthcare You’re probably not even getting any wins on abortion access

I think we all underestimated how much the normgroids are terrified of AI and willing to vote for anyone who claims they’re gonna stop the data centers

I don’t think the US has gotten significantly more liberal since 2024 I think people just want adults in the room in times of uncertainty and MAGA doesn’t have enough of those

We’re about to learn the hard way that the Democrats of 2026 are not the Obama era Democrats, they don’t have a roster of adults in the room either

ive found myself thinking "huh okay what ethnic coalition is this candidate associated with? well i guess that resolves how im voting" this is basically how our ancestors lived. political version of reverting to life before indoor plumbing. sure sucks to remember flush toilets
not looking forward to this election because its highly unlikely anything gets much better and reasonably likely things end up meaningfully worse i expect this to be true of all american electoral cycles for the foreseeable future. enjoy arbys
