There is no "tension" here if you realize that the voters who are up for grab don't live in mental universe where ideological categories like "liberal" or "conservative" have strong purchase. Rather, their orientation is prosystem vs. antisystem — with conflicted voters having a… https://t.co/ECn8rYw9Ic— Jeet Heer (@HeerJeet) March 18, 2025

Isaac Saul on X: "From today's issue of @TangleNews, here are 9 pre-election narratives I think we can now put to bed: 1. Trump is winning because the country is racist. Again: Trump has lost white voters since bursting onto the political scene while gaining voters of color. This isn't proof of" / X

Angry Staffer 🌻 on X: "Marco Rubio, Trump’s Secretary of State pick, explicitly said yesterday that he would NOT call for a ceasefire in Gaza. Great job to all the protest voters who snubbed Harris over Israel - you guys are really playing 6D chess here." / X

Trump has installed Mike Huckabee as US Ambassador to Israel. Huckabee, currently an Evangelical Christian preacher and broadcaster, subscribes to "End Times" theology and proclaims Israel a fulfillment of biblical prophecy. There has never before been such a person in this role

Listen, I'm all in for the messaging/strategy biopsy. Need to build a bigger tent; use economic populism as the tentpole; be less judgmental and exclusionary.

Kamala and her entire team never used pronouns, she never mentioned her race or gender, never engaged in cancel culture, she highlighted freedom & patriotism, would deflect when asked about race or gender and say "I'm gonna represent all Americans". Stop watching these idiotic…

This... is a *problem* for the Democratic Party, because what we're selling most often is harm mitigation. It's been that way since Reagan. There's an old joke: "Republicans are pissing you, Democrats are offering an umbrella."

Not gonna mince words here: IF YOU THINK THIS WAS CAUSED BY ANY CAMPAIGN STRATEGY OR SPECIFIC POLICY CHOICE, YOU ARE AN IDIOT.

This is bullshit. Biden saved the Teamsters' pensions. He walked a picket line. He revived American manufacturing. He passed a historic infrastructure bill & loaded it up with buy-American provisions. Same for the IRA. Now the labor market is the best we've had in 55 years.

Biden's economic theory was that you can rapidly increase the wages of the poorest workers and the ensuing inflation could be mitigated with a soft landing. This proved correct, and voters hated it so much that no one will ever try it again.

They literally ran ads that were like "transgender murderer illegals are getting free sex changes"

Jane Schoenbrun on X: "The rise of extremely powerful propaganda machines enabled by new technologies // the erosion of any press free from capitalist prerogative // misogyny’s libidinal allure to those it seemingly benefits // the odiousness of neoliberalism and its seeming hegemony over leftism" / X

AshleyStevens on X: "I’mma say the hard thing. Kamala Harris did not lose the election because of racism and misogyny. That was a negligible reason at best. Rashida Talib, Ilhan Omar, and Summer Lee all won their seats in swing states VP Harris lost. Sit with the real reasons why she lost." / X

It’s crazy how no one knows this, but the tax law currently in place is because of Trump and it completely fucked over the middle class. Doing any sliver of research would do this country wonders.

trump is on stage thanking elon musk and joe rogan by name. the most powerful world leader is thanking token red pill internet alpha podcasters for their support in polluting the internet with fascist ideas and upholding misogyny racism & xenophobia enough to win him an election

“Unlike liberal Kamala, I will support Israel’s right to win its war… gotta finish it off… The Hamas supporters will be gone… we will deport them very quickly”
