Threatening to vote third party again, in the Year of Our Lord 2025, is a signal that you've already given up.

You're basically stating that you looked into Nietzsche's abyss and blinked.

Miss me with that bullshit.

remember when Bezos - who at the time was cosplaying as the One Good Billionaire - bought the WaPo and it went fairly hard in the paint on "the anti-Trump regime newspaper" and we were all relieved for a few years

The Semafor write-up makes it clear. The WaPo was doing well as a speak truth to power paper, but Bezos didn't like that and so decided to destroy it, beginning with the decision to not endorse Harris. www.semafor.com/article/02/0...

The staff is right.

The Post was profitable and break-even when positioned as a tough, national newspaper.

Bezos is murdering it because he’s turned on American democracy.

they don't have enough guys, and if the response in Minnesota shows anything it is that trying something like this is going to drive a much larger backlash than anything they hope to gain out of it

"oh well I guess we'll just stay home" is not how this is going to go

Consider Target - they thought they were making a good business decision by axing all the Pride merch, getting rid of all the "woke" signifiers. But it turns out the market actually really likes that stuff and gets mad when you make a big deal of tossing it.

That belief makes them make really stupid business decisions and now the Post is going the way so many other poorly-led newspapers have gone - cut to the bone until it's bought out for pennies on the dollar by some shitty holding company

People keep saying Bezos wrecked the Post on purpose but he could have just done that if he wanted to, no need to drag it out for years. I think he and his fellow traveler billionaires have thoroughly cooked their worldview and honestly believe there is a vast, silent, ignored right wing audience

“Normie libs” are out there putting their bodies on the line in Minnesota but go off dorkwad
And like, the problem of normie libs being instinctive snitches because they fear "provocateurs" when they see someone valorously setting a dumpster fire as a barricade is so universal. Like a fucking ton of normie moms in any movement with sufficient numbers are gonna have the same reaction.

Tucker Carlson thought he could do a high quality conservative news outlet and when he found there was no audience for it he decided to become Julius Streicher
I do enjoy how many of these guys who turned their brains into sludge on come cocktail of roids think there is a huge unserved audience of MAGA chuds who desperately want to read the newspaper.

My ONLY concern is, does VA Supreme Court say it has to follow the normal procedures and they send it back to Appeals to rule first….

Pretty unusual for Court of Appeals to send something directly to Virginia Supreme Court

But highlights the importance of redistricting case from timing and constitutional standpoint

Might as well cut to chase as losing side would appeal ruling anyways
NEW: In a procedural win, a Virginia appeals court sent a case challenging Democrats’ redistricting effort to the state supreme court for review.

The move gives the state's highest court the chance to overturn last week's ruling blocking the effort to counter GOP gerrymanders nationwide.

If the court rules in their favor, Virginia Democrats plan to send the proposed constitutional amendment to voters in April.

Which is ironic, then, that leftists' first reaction to liberals is almost always "guess Dems should have worked harder to convince us".
The communication skills part is important.

A common left defensive reaction is basically to despair of ever convincing "libs" and I can't help but observe if you don't think can convince liberals you sure as hell aren't going to convince the median American, so you're just giving up in advance.
I find the @whstancil.bsky.social backlash strangely fascinating.

At its core it seems to be a desperate effort by folks further to the left to avoid having a liberal (with communication skills) become the face of their movement.

But, to be honest, winning was always going to require that.
