“More transparent than Cronkite,” he told us just a couple of days ago

this thought process from comment on data by tharp has many flaws including growth as metric for influence, multiple things affecting these specific numbers as which paint very diff pic.

helps that there was no competitive opposition and the most lefty large minority electorate who saw literal racial profiling and media hub city attacked by extremely unpopular virulent racist prez with tanking economy.

having no belief than to find a point to segregate without a thought and any remorse and electoral sticky power of hatred is easy to choose to gain power, the 'without a thought' part gives immediacy preference so they fail. 'conservative ideology' is pretense , they have no coherence.

the french part not gonna matter much, quebec not for them for now, always difficult to argue against them for long considering their situation at state level, probly only one good leader away from renewal though.

the electorates in 24 prez and both mamdani elections are very different, trumps gains in 24 were predominantly with low propensity voters among those cohorts mentioned above, evidence of overlap of electorate and then persuasion very low, 'miniscule' .

Fox Acquires Conservative Podcast Company Red Seat Ventures Fox Corp. acquiring Red Seat Ventures, which provides podcasting support services media personalities like Megyn Kelly and Nancy Grace, is one of several media expansions by the company.

there's certainly opening to be competitive with them, btw they're still in a pretty strong position.
right wing combined is very strong in new media too.

i mean we literally lost pro-dem gerrymandered NC state legislature in 2010, demolished all over south in states, never recovered yet, but not a peep to obama?

what even is this take here,
sanders and warren smart? feel more like vibe media performance analysis. also like both clintons smart? hillary who prepared to win missouri as bottom was falling out? media leader obama who nobody asks about losing healthcare narrative and 2010?

spoken like someone who hasn't seen a large sample of door knocking, focus group, polls where when *unprompted* people will literally spew exact keywords that fox introduced mere days ago with their latest push. right wing has a huge loudness and volume play advantage, it is problematic to deny it.

sampling not issue here. mostly unrecoverable numbers.

complexity, credibility , specificity of tasks, also industrial humanoid automation is actually pretty good now.

dude is cooked.

because their life beyond office depends on how 'good ol boys' they are now, all their statements are pretense, they don't believe like freedom caucus members, they are pretentious letter sending do nothing people who want a NYT headshot which makes them 'not complicit' and 'independent'.

Any data source for this?

The number is actually miniscule from data I've seen.
Seems mostly politico intrigue but data wise all those mamdani-trump voters, AOC-Trump voters are negligible, they're also not odd per voter preference data.

Nuking the filibuster would have come, nothing would have saved Republicans from even a Senate loss in *26'* with what their plans were/are.
Everyone knows whose votes Kaine and others took upon themselves and what their thoughts about filibuster are even today after all we're seeing with SCOTUS.

At least 2 of these are known to poll 2:1 in favor, what is this even..

The only problem this cycle would probably be lack of depth and breadth of imagination.

I think the height and size dynamic is a thing here in this relationship, probly in any relationship with mike johnson.

Have a theory about biden 2020 Latino losses wrt 2016?

2020 exits had trump winning economy voters by *larger* margin than biden won covid issue voters and both were ~ 80-20 issues.

Trump strongest issues of economy and inflation are now weakest by large margins. Highly likely that those low propensity presidential voters turn completely to dems.

Umich ratings *vastly* better in ~17-19' compared to anything after, by big margins. Perhaps the theory of why biden lost chunk of Latino vote in 20' wrt 16' was truly 'shutdown dems' and trump economic standing hitting low info low income marginal latino vote that depended on *everyday* work.

Just to point some perhaps useful data regarding this,
per NJ and VA exits, the single best predictor of den vote across the *whole* voting electorate was,
whether one thought ICE has gone far enough or not?

@mikemadrid.bsky.social
Think you're right about economy first and perhaps social cause(immigration raids?) by good margins probably, but have you written or have we had a @thelatinovote.bsky.social segment about comparing these two causes as a vote predictor? be a good experiment to have perhaps?

Lib well off audience. welp.

@meidastouch.com
Had you very early after 24' loss to debunk some bad info propping up in the ecosystem.
Was very important and good then.

Please have him regularly, must have perspective and insight from a solid pro democracy guy.

Finger in the wind.

I myself was skeptical of the analysis below when it came out, but the electoral data is bearing this hypothesis out. Credible explanation of what we're seeing in reality.

The shock wrt before pandemic *prices* is what they are constantly hitting at, now other *high volume affecting* living conditions like healthcare, goods supply, etc issues, initiated by Trump adding to same *shock* hit. Hence, rapid shifts against the incumbent(even though incumbent changed).

For Latinos, some other minority groups, Dealignment might be wrong,imho.
This population is registering anti-incumbency behavior, they generally align with Dems on social values, on policy too(multiple voter file studies including 2024 reach this conclusion).
