It didn’t go far enough. It never went far enough.
Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.
So much work remains to be done.

Thank you for noticing. You may also notice that if your argument is that there is just a correlation, not causation, then there is no reason to "control for" things. And even less reason to control for things by using your consulting firm's super secret proprietary model.
It's mildly disappointing that Lakshya Jain basically didn't engage at all with @jakemgrumbach.bsky.social and @adambonica.bsky.social's critique that WAR confuses correlation and causation in his latest piece for The Argument.

We checked NYT’s data. Moderates still win.
Democrats win more often when they run candidates who match their districts, not their Bluesky feeds.

It whips that a bunch of resources and intelligentsia has been pumped into pushing “abundance” a politically specific term that people don’t actually generally understand in a partisan or ideological context any more than they did Latinx, while someone just campaigned on “how bout u afford things”

Jeffrey Epstein [jeevacation@gmail.com]
He is digging around again -- not clear if its another book/or expanded paperback version. Was asking me all sorts of questions about why you hired Ken Starr. I told him I had no idea - I think he is doing some Trump-related digging too.
Anyway, for what its worth...

Can we circle back to the part where the NY Times never disclosed that they have incriminating information on Donald Trump from sent by Epstein that's been sitting on their email servers for nearly a decade?
Stuff like this makes me wonder why there hasn't been any reporting about Trump having affairs during his presidencies

Right, these are the two options: Either they tolerated Epstein's eugenics to get to the sex crimes or they tolerated his sex crimes to get to the eugenics
It seems like all of the rich and powerful people around him patronizingly tolerated the race science stuff (“he has such an inquisitive and childlike mind”) in order to get access to his harem of underage sex slaves
The Epstein stuff is always so amazing to me because it's like "yes he was a sex criminal but if you can get past that, he was also an avowed eugenicist"

It’s wild to suggest this is a circular firing squad or something when it’s millions of citizen Democrats who hate it versus 47 elected Democrats who conspired to surrender for nothing.
We’re not fighting “each other,” we’re fighting you. There’s only a few dozen of you, but you hold all the power.

But there are real dangers out there that must be fought; and energy spent fighting each other is energy lost to that bigger fight.
