Obama's coalition, for example, included plenty of moderately racist voters (and some pretty egregiously racist ones). That famous politico poll that found that 1/4 of people who thought that African Americans frequently race baited were also planning on voting blue

It didn't - Dem coalitions including highly educated progressives and people holding at least mild bigotries succeeded in every Dem presidential win before Biden. You could also make a case that it helped Biden as well, given the phenomenon of never Trump Republicans

Because there's a relevant point of comparison? Obviously politics has changed significantly, but that doesn't mean there's nothing to be learned from history. I also don't think Ben is suggesting anything nearly as broad as the new deal's coalition, there's a lot of space between us and the KKK

Yes

How do you feel about him? And the new deal coalition, by extension

How do you feel about FDR?

I like meme rappers sometimes (central cee is good idc) but come on

Ok I just listened to nettspend for the first time and this is a bit right

When is the league of legends x NBA youngboy collab happening

Wow you think that if Harris had done the thing you wanted to happen anyways she would've won? Wow tell me more

It feels like this whole show was people coming up with lines and scenes and not really caring about how the characters actually get there. I can't believe I still like it despite this.

Arcane dialogue try to not be an endless series of non sequiturs: impossible

Got banned from the other site for telling Nancy mace to rope 🫡

Arcane is a show about how trying to advance technology and distribute the benefits to the masses is stupid and makes you evil (have only seen season one)

When the leftist Joe Rogan makes fried rice the old fashioned way>>>

FUCK YEAH MAN! That's sick! How did you like it?

Yeah idk where this kind of just-so analysis that Republicans are ultra efficient geniuses when in power came from. TCJA I guess? I think people forget how little legislation they actually passed

Many smart geniuses (me) are talking about the asymmetry of American political parties

NVM this app is amazing

I'm not like a hardcore "we need to move right on policy" guy (think it largely misses the point) but also it's pretty bad that my rich WASP coworker couldn't fathom the idea of working for the Mississippi Dems because that would mean being pro second amendment

David Hogg for vice chair ... What are we doing. If we need zoomer cred it should be waldy

Iirc my old Tumblr feed was much more "follow one trillion people, who each post about one thing" and then once that's done you sort of find your people by narrowing it down

I'll go as left as necessary to keep suozzi from ever gaining relevance

God suozzi fucking sucks
