Coming soon @ StartARally.com

Many factory workers in China live in dorms owned by their employers who can lock the employees in against their will.
I know because I’ve been to factories like this.

I didn’t realize Americans were forced to live in dorms owned by their employers who have the ability to lock them in against their will.
Because I’ve been to factories like that in China. And according to their very, very drunk employees, this was “one of the good ones”

There seems to be a mistaken belief that bringing new people into the coalition means catering to their ideology.
But, if they come to you on their own that means you don’t. By showing up, they are telling us that they are willing to put that aside to fight for a common cause.
We should embrace it

I really want to know what subject Perry teaches.
Hopefully it’s not history or math.

It’s not exactly that, but I’m building a tool to help people use a deep canvassing like technique to activate their friends and family.

Clearly none of those people have actually been to China.

“Well, I believe in that because I’m a Baptist and a constitutional originalist” so just so I understand, do you mean the Baptist sect that split off before the Civil War to appease slaveholders, and are you referring to the version of the constitution that doesn’t have a 13th Amendment

On top of all that, it’s physically exhausting.

Your subhead is false. So, you’re not off to a good start.

Why are republican dudes so scared of everything?

Sorry. I wasn’t clear.
Krugman is against reshoring those jobs.
My argument is that his vision of what those jobs will look like in the future is wrong. They’re not even sweatshop jobs today.
I think we should not only reshore them. They should be in every community.

The rule structures in the Senate are so complex it lets senators use rule-based arguments to avoid much more basic demands advocates make like: don't cooperate with Republicans on anything unless it resolves their self-inflicted constitutional crisis or otherwise restrains Trump.

The Kia Telluride is legitimately one of the best cars you can buy for any amount of money.
It is so good that even places like car and driver told their readers to buy the car as quickly as possible when it came out.
They were worried kia would raise the price significantly.

If this whole Rally project works out one of my dreams is funding your liberal/progressive tabloid

I’d argue this is why it’s important to put pressure on guys like Biden to do the things that will actually help prevent republicans from winning elections.

I agree.
I just think you want to use both “carrots” and “sticks”

Once you start to notice how many of the men in the oligarch class have not just weird but pathetic and bizarre relationships to their wives and other women it's impossible not to see as a pretty key factor in the whole ideology! bsky.app/profile/mise...

Probably 100% because Trump is mad he can’t go there.

I’m very glad I’m not on Twitter anymore and I stopped subscribing to the NYT so it’s easier to ignore him and his pundit friends.

I can’t type. I apologize for typos.

Which also tells you that he wasn’t actually a good interviewer.
I can get people to talk about virtually anything. Then I just asked questions where I need/want more information.

That won’t help. He’s the type of guy who stays with a hypothesis and then tries to prove it.
Which is fine, I guess, if you aren’t held accountable for being correct.

My job is research strategy in tech.
So, it’s hard to go a week where I don’t have encounter him and his bros saying something dumb about things I do on a day to day basis
The context is different, but I’m a professional researcher. I read a lot. And from many related fields. Haha.

That’s his typical process.
I say this as a former fan. When he started touching on subjects I actually have expertise in, I realized he was full of shit.

This is what real masculinity looks like… or something.

Which is especially amusing because a lot of ideologically aligned congressional Democrats have worked on this specific problem! For years!
Did he not even reach out to his actual friends?

And we won’t even have to wait until Trump starts regulating contraceptives

Because the business community is run by super rich people who are driven by rich people culture, not evidence.

If, I don’t know just randomly picking for no reason, do surveys for a living and I lack morals, I’m going to lie to Klein about what surveys can tell us because I know he won’t fact check me as long as I tell him what he wants to hear.

Klein and Thompson aren’t actually wonks.
They can’t do any of the actual work wonks do. They just write about what wonks tell them.
What they don’t realize is those wonks are actually doing marketing when talking to Klein and Thompson.

I definitely don’t have your experience in China from a longevity standpoint, but I have been in a big much of Chinese factories.
It’s part of why I’ve been pushing back on people like Krugman when they talk about reshoring certain types of production.
Factories don’t look like they think they do
