Listened to that part of his speech (thanks for posting it) and gotta say that what he said isn’t as strong as the version you’re pushing. He doesn’t even mention abrego Garcia by name, it’s just that one pic. The way you’re paraphrasing him comes across stronger than his actual words.

Fair enough, I follow you and didn’t see that, I just keep seeing the picture.

People replying to this by calling men whiny little babies aren’t making the point they think they are.

But seriously I would probably enjoy seeing some of those screenshots.

Oh great! Talking about screenshots!?! Tell that to Gaza!

Would love to be in the room when someone tries to explain The Onion to these folks.

They say laughter is the best medicine.
Tell that to a kid with cancer. Then we’ll see who’s laughing.

Why lie about this?

Founder’s biggest surprise would be that 215+ Reps, 50+ Senators, and 5+ SC justices were willing to cede all of their electoral power to one man. They figured that each branch would be very protective of the power given to them in the constitution.

Totally disagree! This is the most exposure those manuscripts could ever get! If I wrote some insane, unhinged screed I would absolutely want a big account on Bluesky to share it.
Who knows? Maybe it gains enough traction to garner some interest. At the very least a few of us weirdos will read it.

I totally understand, but just in case somebody else doesn’t quite get it, can you say the answer like you’re talking to an 8 year old?

Anyone have info on how the liberal parties of England reacted and what the fallout was? I’m dialed in on the other examples, but I’ve only been logging 23 hours of screen time per day so I must have missed one.

I wonder if he won any money on it?

Me crunching away like Cookie Monster and wafting the air: “Ahhh, yes, the earthy tones of a Lays.”

Someone saw me putting potato chips in a turkey sandwich at work and asked if I was a child.
Hard to hear him over that tasty crunch though.

Wouldn’t it be a better strategy to focus on issues that unite all Americans? Black, brown, gay, straight, everybody wants cheaper housing, better wages, better healthcare. Issues that appeal across identities are more popular AND Dems are better on than Republicans.

Never said they were. But priorities matter and when voters don’t think your party prioritizes what matters to them then you get folks like Trump winning. Hispanics swung towards Trump; shouldn’t that force you to question how effective focusing on minority rights is?

Do you keep ramming your head into a brick wall instead of just going around?
Opposing Trump and focusing on core issues that affect all voters aren’t mutually exclusive.

Can’t help if we don’t win.

Which doesn’t mean their protection is unimportant, it just means that shouldn’t be the Dems primary focus. More freedom, lower costs, more economic opportunity needs to be the focus.

I hear you, but no one is protected if Dems lose. And the right is happy for us to focus on social justice b/c they think they can win there.

Plus one of his major points that resonates with me: losing is more immoral than winning, so focusing on winning is very, very important.

I disagree that there was any coherent strategy in the last election, moderate or otherwise. He’s written at length about policies he thinks would be electoral winners and I don’t recall any of those being a focus in ‘24. Like stricter immigration, less hurdles to building, more cheap energy, etc.
comment in response to

The issue is that a subset of liberals disagree with Matt that moderation can win elections. They don’t have strong evidence against Matt’s specific claims, so they find these side-issues to pile on instead. Hence you get this focus on why he wrote “Yglesias” in his own post, which is dumb.
comment in response to
post
You’re the one writing a very self indulgent description of what could at worst be described as a poor turn of phrase. What issues are you focused on? The exact manner that Matt chooses to defend himself? What a lofty ideal!

“The horrid implications of his writing…”, “congratulatory masturbation”?
If anyone is getting horny from words it’s definitely you. HAHA.

I also don’t think there was any limits on “screen time”. My dad would sit in front of the tv until one of grandparents wanted to watch something. That could mean 8+ hours of TV at a stretch.

You’re reading too much into a 200 character post. Poorly worded? Sure. Missed whatever mark he was going for? Fine. But the point he was trying to make was clear. So why not deal with his point instead?
comment in response to
post
But he (us?) already admitted (agreed?) that he (many?) was annoyed (angry?) by the stupid responses he (ours?) was getting. Lol.
He wrote what he wrote. It wasn’t some great line but it’s a stretch to claim this is some big gotcha. Everyone just got too horny too fast over a poorly worded skoot.

That out of context tweet from 8 years ago is all the info I need. Well done! It’s funny to me that you either went key-word searching or just had this screenshot lying around.

What great points based on some kind of strange alternate reality. Nothing wrong with disagreeing with someone but it’s strange to me that you also NEED him to have these other traits (lying, cowardice). I wish people would be less weirdly anti-social I guess.
comment in response to

That’s a pretty stupid interpretation of what he wrote. I don’t understand why so many ppl need Matt to be lying about this. It’s not enough to just disagree with him? You also need him to be deceitful? It’s bizarre.

Half the country isn’t seeing that though. The MSM is playing coy (at best) and right-wing media is saying he’s deporting terrorists.

Been following you since pre-vox days. Appreciate your ideas and i like that you’re focused on pushing electorally popular ideas that are also left of center.
Very frustrating how many folks on here are unable to grapple with the fact that many Americans don’t agree with 100% of their positions.

I wonder how much of that is skewed by educational attainment? Is higher education correlated w more money + fewer children?
I also wonder how the increase in female breadwinners impacts # of children.
