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.

Paul McCallion on X: "sorry to be a buzzkill but by owning a firearm you become about 4-5x more likely to be shot by a firearm and it’s extremely unlikely that you will ever use it in self defense (let alone successfully). It is not worth it." / X

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"

The moment the blunt hit my lips

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”

I'm glad I don't have to write an endorsement piece, because I really wouldn't know how to go about it. Ever since 2015, when Trump descended the escalator, I have had the same feeling, which I've never quite seen articulated, so I will briefly try:

As of today, 's final rule banning fake online reviews and testimonials has come into effect.

this explains like 60% of the tweets on here

Elon Musk is microtargeting both of these ads, simultaneously to different communities in swing states.

BREAKING: Judge releases Trump’s plan to steal the election in writing:

1/ Alright, friends. It’s starting, and I want to get ahead of it. Four years later, can’t believe we are doing this, but… ELECTION FRAUD DEBUNKING MEGA THREAD, PART II

Y'all understand if Trump wins, both Alito and Thomas retire w/in 6 months and he replaces them with two 40something justices who ensure a right wing majority until 2050, give or take. So, if you're 30 or over, that's your SCOTUS for the rest of your life.

Trump announces he will withhold disaster relief aid from California if they don’t obey him as president: “If you don’t do it we’re not giving you [aid]”

Donald Trump responds to criticism about how his proposed 200% tariff on imports could raise consumer prices in Fox News interview:

wow - this blew up! i really appreciate the support ❤️

Patrick McKenzie on X: "Startups are (by necessity) filled with generalists; big companies are filled with specialists. People underestimate how effective a generalist can be at things which are done by specialists. People underestimate how deep specialties can run. These are simultaneously true." / X

Patrick McKenzie on X: "The chief products of the tech industry are (in B2C) developing new habits among consumers and (in B2B) taking a business process which exists in many places and markedly decreasing the total cost of people required to implement it." / X

Patrick McKenzie on X: "The tech industry is fundamentally unserious about how it recruits, hires, and retains candidates. About which I have a lot more to say than could fit in a tweet, but, a good thing to know." / X

Retired General Mark Milley to Bob Woodward about Trump:

(1) Isaac Saul on X: "1/ ALRIGHT Y'ALL. ELECTION FRAUD DEBUNKING MEGA THREAD. I’m following claims of fraud and looking into them. I think I’ve solved most now. Nothing is holding up under any scrutiny so far so I’m making a thread to track in one place. Please RT! #ElectionResults2020 #Election2020" / X

VP Kamala Harris gave a press conf at FEMA hq but this is how she addressed the workers right after.
