Buttadeus: Yeah - I mean we really don’t have any left wing institutions, and what there is tends to be activist based outside of politics, or intentionally apolitical

The fact that Biden has delivered on left-wing policy far better than any president in generations but is widely despised by left-wing voters reflects more poorly on left-wing institutions and voters than on Biden. This is not a movement showing political maturity, and I say that as a left-winger

I feel like the main political divide on this website is between “Joe Biden is terrible and old and I hate him” and “Joe Biden is terrible and old and I will crawl over broken glass to vote for a rancid ham sandwich against Donald Trump” very few people are actually huge fans of the guy

Yeah - I mean we really don’t have any left wing institutions, and what there is tends to be activist based outside of politics, or intentionally apolitical

The biggest media organization that’s not explicitly right wing or utterly feckless is what, MSNBC? and it’s pretty dang feckless

The most reliable news source if you’re not a right winger might actually be Bloomberg, which is technically what I want Bloomberg to do with his money but not like this

It’s uncanny right? I’m discombobulated by Bloomberg’s insistence on not sucking while the rest of the industry craters

Bloomberg’s primary customers are business and they require actual truth, not truthy.

It's like the WSJ in the olden days: the news section tells executives what they need to hear and the opinion pieces tell executives what they want to hear

Financial Times too

activists based on being Activists™️

Yeah - although I think even so, they’re pretty small groups

Like what do we have that even resembles the Heritage Institute

heritage are fucks but that's not the dynamic i'm talking about
