The exact problems the data bois said the Democratic Party have are actually afflicting the GOP:
With abortion, "culture" and Trump their base is extreme and spurned on by grievances, their staff is captured by activists, meanwhile the general electorate is more moderate Meanwhile the data bois and pundits wanted to sell us on the opposite, because they cannot comprehend this happening to Republicans, so it must be a genuine expression of voters (and it aligns with their priors)

Dude, he would need 15 million paying blue users per month just to make the $125m/month debt service, GTFO "probing" yeah, right. Alienating high profile content creators sure helps signing up 15 million people to your subscription service

I see the representative from Silicon Valley is at it again. Khanna was always supported by SV interests when challenging Mike Honda, no matter how he cast himself, this is just returning the favor to his donors and supporters.

How does the GOP propose to "solve" crime?? How do you even "solve" "crime" (which is largely a perception issue) The political media is completely incapable to talk about issues and anything beyond the horserace

Ah, massed air attack against strategic targets, let me just take this big sip of water and look what Russian nuclear doctrine says about that.. I beg think-tankers to stop digging out their warmed up takes from February/March (from the GWOT really) and discoursing about nukes.

The conservative mind is inherently criminal (and authoritarian) I love that the immediate reaction to the take "getting caught violating the tax code is like getting killed/beat up by the police" is "actually the tax thing that is worse"

You don't have to do this as your top story, you don't have to publish something that has this as the worst outcome of Dobbs You're still against a woman's right to choose no matter how you cloud it in an uplifting leftish language.

The mass exodus will be when this site is completely unusable in a year, not people leaving in protest there's a million little things that new ownership could introduce on a whim and completely break this barely useable site for the regular user

The Kofman interview with Chotiner is excellent. This is a point that describes my feelings about the initial Russian campaign 3rd Infantry and especially 1st Marine Division mostly stuck to roads assaulted through or bypassed towns with one objective: speed.

Can't stop staring at the open fields next to the village....I still do not get why they are hugging the roads like this and why this is not a multi unit attack. Look at this shit...mindboggling

Love Third Way popping up and saying yes, this strategy of harnessing "voter fatigue with masks and hybrid schooling" which could change dramatically by spring, is good actually.

nbcnews.com/politics/elect… Love to do a strategy for November elections that might be totally out of place by then with getting attaboys from these weirdos
