Aren’t you the guy who got into hot water for pursuing women in aggressive and threatening ways? NYT sucks and so do you.

Voters are stupid

kizzlebizzle.bsky.social•118 days ago

because of people like you!

Yeah that’s years of failed messaging and leadership from the Democratic Party. How do we come from “Yes we can” to this?

clak60.bsky.social•118 days ago

Interesting, sadly Biden was too frail to be an effective candidate, he’d have been far superior to Harris in aligning with voter sentiment

daniel12345.bsky.social•118 days ago

So?

Voters don't necessarily like to spend money on the military either, but it's sometimes nonetheless necessary

You should probably do what's necessary and try to develop a appealing massage,
like heat pumps being more convenient and healthier than gas furnaces

They and their pathological empathy care too much about vicious criminals and gang bangers, while caring not at all about their victims.

Lot's of voters believe that Dems are not fighting back strongly enough. It's hard to feel enthusiastic about cowardice and political calculation in the face of Trump's unconstitutional agenda.

musefoundry.bsky.social•118 days ago

Exactly the type of analysis we need for the ongoing Schmittian sovereign exception; thanks Matt.

pipercat.bsky.social•118 days ago

Voters also believed Donald Trump was going to lower the price of eggs.

My husband, @senatorweinstein.bsky.social, flipped a red Ohio district by focusing on environmental issues. His strategy? Connecting policy to people—childhood asthma from poor air quality, taxpayers funding outdated coal plants, a Great Lake treated as a dump instead of a recreation asset …

They also can’t afford home insurance because of climate change. Democrats and the media need to connect the dots for them.

How about doing something useful, Matt? You can warn people that if they buy a Tesla they are increasing their odds of seeing some property damage.

Elon Musk just captured the US Gov’s administrative state and this is what’s keeping you up at night?

Let's debate this:

(Many) voters are stupid

adammoss.bsky.social•118 days ago

And a majority of people who voted chose Trump. You can say the quiet part out loud...

parkerjamie.bsky.social•118 days ago

Makes sense. That’s the thing that economically comfortable and highly educated people care about.

jessekershaw.bsky.social•118 days ago

This proves Republicans own the narrative. They both tell the public what to care about & what Democrats care about.

No educated & informed person would have immigration or border security as a top priority in their lives nor would they believe that LBGTQ is a top priority for Democrats

fordzie.bsky.social•118 days ago

If Democrats can’t make something out of this, they need a new line of work.

The dilution of American intellectuality is complete.

mmathog.bsky.social•118 days ago

No. They don’t.

runningman2021.bsky.social•118 days ago

It’s not hard to just say “the economy is my top priority” repeatedly. Rhetoric matters… on climate it should be sold as doubling down on energy independence, dominating energy tech of the 21rst century, fixing and modernizing the grid so blackouts happen less and electricity costs less, etc.

clarkj.bsky.social•118 days ago

How is this the takeaway? Why “too much”?

bboucek.bsky.social•118 days ago

You trust this poll? Sample size? Methods? Margin of error?

jeffisontheroad.bsky.social•118 days ago

Well, we can thank the media, specifically the @washingtonpost.com and @nytimes.com for spending years slamming everything Joe Biden did or tried to do.

Trump is their man and they wanted him in the White House more than they love their own children.

turkishliberal.bsky.social•118 days ago

They are right

kkeepgoing.bsky.social•117 days ago

As Floridians face the aftermath of their next set of record breaking hurricane seasons, I’ll be sure to just shrug my shoulders and remind myself that this is what they wanted. They’ve made their choice.

mikernfn.bsky.social•118 days ago

That would not be my first takeaway from that chart, but you have an agenda I guess.

mountainmanmatt.bsky.social•118 days ago

This chart is a narrative crafted entirely by right wing propaganda. I don’t mean to say that democrats don’t talk about these issues, but are forced to defend common decency and basic facts because their counterparts in our system are willing to outright lie about these topics.

osott.bsky.social•118 days ago

Jesus Matt, yes, Dems haven’t been nearly as good or cynically deceitful at messaging as Republicans, but have you taken a look outside your comfortable vacation cabin lately. The way things look right now there’s a pretty good chance there aren’t going to be any more fucking elections.

scarfface.bsky.social•118 days ago

this will be a fun one for the time capsule in say 50 years.

kesslersyndrome.bsky.social•118 days ago

Proof we no longer deserve our status as “the indispensable nation” (and likely never did). Time for the west to cut us loose.

capitalist.bsky.social•118 days ago

insanity

marcla54.bsky.social•118 days ago

I'm glad FDR didn't follow the polls in 1940 about supporting the UK

The American people may not be interested in climate change, but climate change is interested in the American people

You can do things to help fight climate change (like IRA) without rubbing people's faces in it. Do those!

achyringer.bsky.social•118 days ago

I kinda hate admitting this, but in a very simplistic way… they’re sorta right. The issues have been distilled for both parties pretty dead on.

jmneel.bsky.social•118 days ago

I'm not sure the voters who just elected a convicted felon to run the country should interest us as much as why they hold such delusional views. Yes, Dems need to communicate better, but the forces causing the delusion are the main problem.

therealforx.bsky.social•115 days ago

Ok. So we're screwed. What next?
