“There are some stories where there are no winners—only losers. This is one of those stories.”

Perfectly described: “The Internet didn’t destroy monoculture. It exposed the fact that monoculture was always a bottleneck, popped the cork, and let the contents fizz out.”

Of course, I probably would have advised Mamdani to do the Trump visit because it’s in the best interest of NYC, which is his only actual job. He wasn’t hired to be the savior of the party.

And yet, let’s not soft pedal the signal it sends when Dems play nice with a wannabe king.

I worked 3 years for one of the toughest House seats in the country + another 7 for a diff member in a district that routinely voted R for governor & senator. Every election cycle was a knife fight.

I would’ve told both bosses to vote FOR this stupid res and make it a non-issue.

The Left is mad at House Ds for voting yes on “Stalin was bad” but they’re OK with Mamdani signaling that all of this talk about fascism is just campaign rhetoric. Because they like Mamdani (I do too!)

But in the grand scheme, which is more harmful at the moment?

I mean, it’s not criminal to ask a convicted pedophile’s advice on how to get in the pants of a mentee while calling her a racial slur, but maybe you should be shunned by decent society.

Oh and like SIX HUNDRED people got FIRED for posting about Charlie Kirk's death so I really don't want to fucking hear it about cancel culture run amok with Larry Summers, thanks!

Summers called a Chinese professor "peril" (horribly offensive) while describing in detail TO A CHILD RAPIST months' worth of manipulations & harassment of her.

Sometimes things don't have to be "criminal" to result in consequences. Perhaps a new concept for white dudes, but there it is.

I wonder how well the propagandists’ strategy is going to work this time, given that some of the loosest cannons are the ones Trump tried and failed to pressure

Evaluating you entirely by your own public writing in this piece, I would strongly advise my interns to give you a wide berth as a teacher or mentor. The Pepsi analogy is absurd and your attempts to gloss over Summers’ exploitation of his mentorship role raises serious questions about your judgment.

Except that no it’s not! (it’s an interesting read sometime when you’re bored)

Okay but as long as we’re being pedantic… it’s the House GOP Conference, not caucus 😜
