Every leftists I know: It should be Kamala today fuck it I don't like her but fuck it she can win against this old fascist bitch. Every democrat with power: 16 round tournament, 3 wild card play-ins, cumulative points against total, winner determined on November 10th.

I love the people who say "Nate Silver is a horrible political analyst with bad takes" - here's what he wrote on May 15 and here was the reaction at the time. Did anyone else have this take on May 15?

Remember Travis CI?

Watching "Mr Bates vs. the Post Office" and keep needing to turn the sound off because it's so hard to watch.

The attempted assassination of Donald Trump does not erase the crimes that Trump himself has committed against American democracy, or the crimes he would commit if given the chance, and no one is obligated to pretend otherwise www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

The degrowth framework is very straightforward: When I (geography masters degree, anti capitalist, cool) go to CDMX for a week, it is a virtuous cultural exchange. When you (business undergrad, uncool, Biden voter) visit Mexico City it’s a commodified, exploitative transaction.

62% of Democratic voters would prefer a different candidate than Joe Biden

I’ll say one other thing; I don’t care how many hours have passed since the assassination attempt, there are just some people I’m not willing to take lessons on violent or irresponsible rhetoric from, or hear them out in good faith ever on this issue. Get fucked, fuck off, next.

For reasons I do not understand, most of the mainstream press reported that Trump “softened” the gop position on abortion based on a platform that declares abortion should be illegal in all 50 states www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Stop Soft-Pedaling the GOP’s Extreme Positionswww.theatlantic.com The party’s platform on abortion and LGBTQ rights is just as radical as ever.

Sales guy: We’ve built a new system that will require callers to enter in their account information before talking to an agent. Call center: awesome, it seems like this will save so much time Sales guy: Lol, no, your agents will ask for everything they just entered all over again

There’s no such thing as an illegal order, per this decision

Fwiw the obstacle to "the President drone strikes an opponent" isn't and was never fear of prosecution after leaving office, but their ability to have clearly illegal orders carried out. This is similar to the "you don't need to pass a law to have the power to stop a coup" priniciple.
