Bad Pacifist, passable writer.

Meritocracy is a myth. Tolerance is a peace treaty, not a suicide pact. American was never great, but it's over now.

Bari Weiss is bad at journalism, which everybody has known for a long time, but today proved that she's also bad at laundering propaganda, which is far more important for the people who gave her the job.

Thankfully Blind Guardian made a cliff notes (youtu.be/vHdCCc1T8os?...) I enjoyed the series too.

Seems combo of that and just fewer people drinking. Weed legalization hit them too.

And for people who do drink, they might prefer other stuff. Like I won't turn down Evan Williams, even EWB, but if I'm buying it, I'm generally not getting that.

Again he's not interested in Democrats winning. He's interested in people with a D winning because it makes his math simulations more interesting

In that piece he literally says "yes immigrants aren't dangerous but because people think they are the government should treat them like criminals so that they can win elections".

You mean move to the right? I'm aware that's what he's arguing, despite even him admitting that every GOP talking point about immigration is a lie.

He also argues in that piece Obama wasn't far enough to the right on immigration.

To them winning isn't anything more than a D next to the candidates name instead of an R. The actual policies are statistics in their model an a trump with a D next to their name instead would be just fine.

Lakshya and Matt's entire argument is that Dems need to "universally" become more Republican. Both the argument And slow boring would say *moderate* on ICE, as in be ok with deporting more people

And someone saying "they won but not by enough!" Isn't giving you evidence. You run the candidates for your district. Finding a single universal method for a coalition party is how you lose.

Both of those assholes want Dems to lose.

Thanks for proving my point! He won.

The person quoting those statistics is not interested in the Dems winning, let alone getting the kind of electoral base needed to deal with trumpism. They view trump as a math problem.

If you follow the evidence you'd be even more critical of that graph than anyone on this thread had been so far

But like I said, he didn't actually read the books so he wouldn't know this.
