Wasn't that really the days of Digg? I can't even remember such eons ago...

I sadly was one of those duped, hot off of reading Atlas Shrugged no less at a more impressionable time in my life. Thank fuck I crawled my way out.

Best way to get the young male vote to be honest. Isn't this part of what made Ron Paul popular?

"from AOC to Dick Cheney to Taylor Swift."

Taylor Swift confirmed more right-wing than Cheney!1!

Vance is just as morally corrupt and full of lies but has a better facade.

For sure, though I could use 14 States as examples that are larger. Not even counting all the foreign aid we give to Israel in the first place — it's just absurd we have to kiss their ass so much partly because of AIPAC.

It's insane that a country whose economy is 1/8th that of California alone and whose population is 35x smaller has the US by the balls in this way.

Can you link to that conversation? I'm not seeing in your history or on their mod log.

You've identified the problem many see, but what is the solution?

This demographic is notoriously hard to reach and the nature of its age and inexperience leads to having their priorities woefully out of whack and susceptible to shit like Joe Rogan and Andrew Tate to Jordan Peterson. Asking or forcing them to watch Mr. Rogers isn't going to cut it, if you know what I mean.

New York Dems... From Bloomberg to Cuomo to Hochul and Donald Trump himself... They're definitely... Special. (I should include Menendez in that, too).

His entire methodology is contingent on history repeating itself. But we know we live in times of historical firsts that defy extrapolation.

With key 2 it's less about the definition and more about the allotted weight of importance. Like, imagine if the DNC simply said that "we are unilaterally awarding all delegate votes to Biden and skipping a Primaries voting process for our Democratic voters." Yes, the key would still be True, but would that mean jack shit? Not really. And again, Incumbency is more a liability when the incumbent President's approval rating matches Jimmy Carter. His Charisma keys are another example of subjective interpretation and which itself is clearly reflective of opinion polls.

For all our sake, I hope he's right. But his prediction is just as if not more useless than the aggregation of A+ polls in moments of time that can actually adapt to changing circumstances, including things like impactful scandals, military success / failures, and social unrest.

At the end of the day Perception is Reality; even if the economy is doing well in short and long-term on paper, we again unfortunately live in unprecedented times where that is not being felt by the actual people who are, you know, going to the ballot box.

Well first you gotta hawk tuah.

Their word choice could be a little better but if you understand the various degrees of Nazism 1930s Germany, this kind of rings true. Most nazi party members weren't these dyed-in-the-wool SS types with full knowledge of the gas chambers; but they certainly conveniently looked the other way and enabled and benefited from it just the same. Naturally, many of these would continue to radicalize. Ignorance, greed, apathy, psychopathy, sure.... Varying amounts at the individual level — yet all volunteer to reside under the same unifying banner.
