Don't think users here think bluesky figured out how to not make people act deranged on the internet.

Yea they should answer the question quickly, demonstrate some level of knowledge, and pivot to what they want to elevate. Wonder why "distraction" comes into their communication to the public, how they talk about it as a priority or effecting political discourse in background discussions?

Yea can they get some other phrasing to pivot to I also want to elevate and talk about this important issue too.

Not all of that is strictly true, republicans do want some form of their version of limited immigration but also it gets repeated enough that dems want open borders...

Don't know if it would have changed anything but media could choose to frame it as reps are ratfuckers on the issue (bc as a group they do not want immigration) and while the current system doesn't function very well there isn't a crisis and there are alot of resources on enforcement to prevent one.

social media doesn't have to be strictly a marketplace of ideas to influence opinions and steer the nation lol (but does kind of mean there is a different form of political hobbyism going on here or whatever alongside everything else)

Tend to think it's usually the size of the program needed (which is hard to evaluate imo and depends on what you're trying to do)

CA reps and particularly the governor come to mind...

I'd assume the only way to earn her praise would be to become right centrist thought, doubt she knows or cares for anything else
comment in response to
post
Didn't find her answer to be terrible, it does not meet the emotional mark some want (can and should every dem pol perform that...probably not, definitely need some to hit the emotional mark and to challenge the legitimacy of what is going on tho)

Was wondering if your expectation was universal or "universal".

Actually surprised, this is a waste on money isn't deployed against it (ya know doge bs, and reconciliation bill...)

Like why did the American mind not want to saddle Harris with a republican senate?

Not sure if I really want to know if she posted this and with or without the audio

Support him defeating Boebert but that's about it at this point (or different CO house R).

Probably a different subject than what was in the posts. I'm wondering, even if people embraced econ policy by Biden, would it still be viewed as a failure by politicians if they view it through electoral incentives or maybe they won't link them.
comment in response to
post
My question is it really about embrace from a particular faction or politicians/advisers now have a data point (election binary) I do not like (when stimulus is needed again)?

Still weird how Rs decided that's our guy
comment in response to

Maybe that was more of a description of hyper engaged partisan than literal

Also curious how much reps decide by bluesky

Have heard a version firsthand of I did it the right way (hellscape of procedure) and these people just walk on over

Fwiw I think her biggest swing and miss was not explaining why Biden was bad and that she is different

Educational polarization hurts here I fear

Q is would she have "tried" to do them (and ppl give her that rhetorical leeway instead of tut tutting) or actually tried to do them (come up with Warren-esque detailed proposals)
comment in response to

Figured it was Joe Manchin of Iowa/Kansas is an improvement over standard R or mod R.

Curious what he means by this

Yea you'd think that would be obvious, but also find your audience and write for them seems to work
comment in response to

Are you thinking as resentment or that it creates more separation socially?
comment in response to
post
Guess what I mean is people overstating the case is the issue not that it didn't matter. Kind of central to this is do politicians only get bonked harder and harder for bad outcomes happening and persisting or do they also get rewarded for fixing things that deteriorated during their time in office.

Was half expecting llm to be in there

I could buy he legit thinks the bill is bad because it doesn't cut enough.
comment in response to

Don't necessarily think calling him a coward means you want him to do it though. Why isn't thay just a straightforward attack on him?

Given the partisan makeup of DC seems kind of obvious the location isn't about local draw
comment in response to
post
I think they built on each other, if opening up/response to covid didn't do anything economically negative, people would have in fact been less mad maybe even ended up liking Biden again post Afghanistan. Could they have found something else to have been equally angry about...sure it's possible.
comment in response to

I think it's partially because people are drawn to simpler narratives and not drawn to making extremely nuanced statements and this is not limited to a particular area of discourse.
comment in response to

How many judges need to remove themselves from each draw to get this into "okay well that is more plausible territory"?

Sunk cost in their existing manufacturing? Could also try and sell paint for the dark materials lol

Very much relatively is probably a better way to put it

Yea I think that's true, if the outcome is unemployment drops and the thing people are mad about (in the economy) is large single digit inflation that is expected to go away...millennials will not care v much
comment in response to

Is the idea millennials have a strong belief in Phillip's curve?

Kind of think max power of the motor is the 'easy' way out but that doesn't really lend itself to a speed per se and limiters can be broken.

Current reconciliation bill by Rs is called the "Big Beautiful Bill"

Tbh I think they had "good" instincts that the flamethrower activist position being closely identified with dems/libs was not going to end well, what did they actually accomplish on the other hand...

Cleaning the tub prior to me taking a bath has shown to me that it was indeed dirtier than it looked.
