Remind me again why tech oligarchs can’t achieve their goals with a moderate liberal President?

@evan In my opinion, that will only encourage more Putin/GOP-backed fake protest candidates in future cycles. The only path to a two-state solution is a Democratic Party that is unafraid of attacks from evangelical and Likud-supporting constituencies. (A very difficult task considering the necessary breadth of the Democratic coalition)

One that you can’t say about Liz Cheney is that she lacks physical bravery. Unlike so many of her never-Trump brethren, she has made herself a target.

@evan There’s two different statements in this poll!

@harrymccracken Does Bezos think it was a terrible decision? If not, he’ll presumably continue to act in the same way.

So Eminem is a braver patriot than Jamie Dimon.

You know the joke about the drunk looking for his keys under the lamppost, not because he lost them there but because the light is better?

That’s the mainstream political press.

They cover the Democrats more severely, not because it’s where the real story is, but because liberals are the only part of the population who cares about what they write.

Authoritarian countries and billionaire oligarchs share a common interest: to degrade the power and competence of the American government. That’s their mission: a post-American chaos in which they have more control.

Jamie Dimon, pretending like it's a tough call whether he should speak out against bigotry, authoritarianism, corruption, global instability and economic insanity: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-10-08/dimon-says-he-s-still-deciding-on-a-presidential-endorsement #pathetic

The reason why the NYT (for example) won't trumpet the comprehensive evidence for Trump's treason presented by Jack Smith in the same way (for example) they did the bizarre statement from James Comey is that they don't believe doing so will impact the election. In this way, the GOP and independent voters' believed indifference to Trump's crimes effectively drives their editorial decision-making.

What terrible thing does the NYTimes think will happen if they clearly identify a racist lie as a racist lie?

@heidilifeldman @tchambers that was me!

@tchambers @heidilifeldman @mmalc @KamalaHarrisWin Excellent - I'll donate for you, Tim. :)

Isn’t Tom Brady supposed to say interesting things? #nfl

We are careening towards dictatorship and chaos. The vast majority of America’s business leadership is silent (or worse.)

Not a single member of the trad press will demand Trump disavow Tucker and Musk for their pro-Nazi messaging.

@tchambers is there an Oprah-level surprise for tonight, Tim? you hear anything?

@tchambers @kamalaharrisforpresidentnews My extremely ‘centrist’ (anti-Squad) mother-in-law loved AOC. I couldn’t believe it.

To point out the obvious:

The Harris campaign's 'ban on price gouging' gambit works even better if she's attacked by economists and the right.
