Nate Silver and Nancy Pelosi... 😳

My next question is what do they have on Chuck Schumer?

reply

titaniumman91.bsky.social•17 hours ago

I can't say I like Nate Silver or Nancy Pelosi as people, but I think they're better at doing politics than most people and I owe my ability to get health insurance to Pelosi in particularl convincing a bunch of Democrats to effectively vote themselves out of office with the ACA.

reply

cascadianprepper.bsky.social•17 hours ago

How much longer will you be able to get health insurance is definitely the question I'd be asking.

reply

titaniumman91.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Sure, but that's because the GOP are awful people, not because of Nancy or Nate.

Republicans have shut the government down for so much less cause and reason.

This is a good cause and reason to shut down the government.

reply

octopodig.bsky.social•15 hours ago

The Republicans haven't run as the party of responsible gov't since Trump ran the first time; they're very specific about being the party of burning it all down.

Schumer is telling his abuser, “I know that this hurts you more than me, I know” and trump being a psychopath doesn’t care.
Worst of both worlds

reply

dhf-on-bsky.bsky.social•17 hours ago

I mean, it's just bad gamesmanship.

If Trump really wants a shutdown (he does not), he can just order any number of Republicans to vote against Cloture & the CR. Schumer's "strategy" makes no sense.

reply

miaminoon.bsky.social•14 hours ago

His strategy is, I secretly want Trump's tax cuts to pass because I and my donors would love it. We can't have a shutdown mucking it up.

He's somehow right about two things. The continuing resolution should be voted against, and it'd be very misguided to make him a senator.

reply

supernovafactory.bsky.social•17 hours ago

@schumer.senate.gov we get that in the past a vote that shuts the government down hurts people & looks bad. In this instance, we’re hurting either way. Trump/Musk are taking power either way.

This vote is a Permission Slip.

Do you want to give your permission to an authoritarian, Chuck?

fleshoversand.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Oh wow. Hundreds of likes on the posts on Chuckster's account and thousands and thousands of savage comments.

morning-gold.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Trump has even thanked Schumer for saying he will vote yes. When even the worst people out here are saying uh don't vote yes and fascists are thanking you, maybe your decision isn't right. How many more signs does he need?

putting trump in the awkward position of having to defend line item eradication of services is the key here, and it is WILD that even nate tin understands that this is preferable to simply signing off on trump destroying all those programs with no debate

Genuine question for you - back in the 2000s I read The Signal And The Noise, and thought it was very smart and insightful. I found 538 to be a hugely helpful election guide for years. Did Nate change? Am I just a dummy? Was I wrong to listen to him before? What happened?
