I find it interesting that some high powered bankers, academics, and economists are able to tell the truth about the economy and some feel the need to lie about everything.

Honestly, the Democrats would be much better off if they copied this instead of shitting on it, acting as if they are too cool to do a little propaganda work.
If someone with Bernie Sanders’ politics had this kind of production value on their anti-Trump shit?
That’s the shit that wins.

Worth 1,000 words. This picture is so revealing about so much about this “administration.”
Step back five feet from the dram of any photo about any Trump action or policy, and you’ll see the boom arms, the rigging, the floodlights…

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

Whatever else is in the deal, agreeing to merely have a vote on ACA is a fig leaf. Even if it passes the Senate, it won't in the House, which also makes it an easy yes vote for the Senate Rs who might want to, defusing it as an attack on them.
It is a stupid ask even on Team Schumer's own terms.

And it sure looks like things are only “really bad” when it hurts rich people’s plans to fly in planes.
They brushed off the SNAP cuts, DOGE, USAID, ICE kidnapping people off the street, concentration camp construction, bulldozing the White House, etc. but they can’t tolerate flight delays.

What is this horseshit?
Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

It really is like sports to these pundits. Their only information is the game that just ended and their analysis is based only on that game.
Then, when the analysis turns out to be complete horseshit (because a new game was played), they’re just like “oh gee, maybe things are different?”

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

They’ll claim that the Democrats won because Democrats did what Ezra Douthglesias said to do.
I’m just a small-town political scientist, & it’s still relatively early, but it appears that The Actual Democrats did not Need To Do any of the Things or Learn any of the Obvious Lessons that Ezra Douthglesias said they Must Do & Learn.

2. They express this opinion freely & everyone doesn’t say “hey, fuck that guy”
