No, Do your own 5th grade math, people in my mentions. it is impossible to win the popular vote by winning the four biggest states, or even build an insurmountable advantage by winning the popular vote with impossible margins in the four biggest states.

Nor does it work with just winning cities. Nor just winning the largest greater metropolitan areas. Popular vote means votes that are now ignored or taken for granted have to be won.

Stop repeating shit you hear people say that makes you feel better.
So tired.

People are treating "why is the economy not lifting Trump's numbers?" like some great mystery, but I think the plain truth is most people remember the economy *was also good under Obama* People aren't canaries. theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
Like, we were ALIVE and CONSCIOUS during that Administration. We REMEMBER this happening: fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/fredgrap…
(employment embedded if you can't link from above) People got health insurance. A LOT of people got health insurance. We were HERE for it. We REMEMBER it.

This is a really great, insightful write-up. vox.com/culture/2019/6… via @voxdotcom
American television was built on the long form episodic model, the most popular shows on streaming are old, episodic shows. Shorter serialized high concept shows are way easier for marketing, but not necessarily better TV.
I think they factor this essay is missing, however, is how streamers metrics distort television. They tend to measure new subscribers/growth so it's about how the new shiny gets people to sign up. A mature show doesn't do that.

I work with millionaires and the occasional billionaire and this is something that’s not discussed enough — a lot of them are very, very ... intellectually incurious, and we’re raised/lucked into a system that protects them from actual competition.
2) "But how do they survive in something as difficult or as competitive as banking?" The thing is, you've got a combo of systems that self-propagate and protect, and SINGLE FOCUS JOBS the system's designed to be fail-proof.
3) Goldman-Sachs isn't Goldman-Sachs if one feckless fuckwit can derail it. No, like any system, the system of making money has a tolerance level of feckless fuckwittery. *and the more successful and long-standing that system, the higher that tolerance*

The #progressive #policy #paradox: a thread for the day that’s in it

Or: why #popular #power comes from below

In honour of our “#left and progressive unity” friends and GP voters
Full disclosure: I was once in the Green Party.

In another century, I hasten to add.

I represented the Irish party at the European Federation of GPs and edited what we laughingly called its theoretical journal.
I also spent a year in the French party and, more interestingly, on the far left of the German party. I thought the Irish party had the potential to become a party of and for #SocialMovements. I found I was wrong, and left.

On my way to @Die_Gruenen-#BDK18! I'll be sharing impressions so mute me now. It sure has a very democratic feel when most of party leadership ends up hanging out on a train platform in Bitterfeld due to changed train schedules.

The Myth of the Lazy Nonvoter

2/"If history is any indicator, only around 40 percent of eligible voters will vote in the midterm elections. Most people assume that voter turnout remains this low because Americans are apathetic and simply don’t want to vote. But it’s more likely that most Americans do want to

Northern Resistance
@MCJeffry
Thread: Since being released from the #BlockedByChiefCovfefe BLOCKLIST I have been inundated by confused Tweeters asking me this question:

Northern Resistance, how do I know if I'm a #Trumpanzee ?

So I have created this thread to try and help, cuz I'm nice like that!!
If you're getting ready to go to the polls in Alabama and cast your vote for a child molester...

You might be a #Trumpanzee
If you are rooting for the new tax plan, but concerned that your cousin-wife might lose coverage on her 2 existing teeth...
