Shohei told Friedman to do whatever it takes to ensure he doesn’t have to face him in October lol

Hope you and your family are safe this week

We also need to move past the decorum of not being willing to bluntly say “voters are making stupid decisions re-electing older politicians”, for all the blame on the party for giving them limited choices until voters stop voting for it I won’t feel bad for anyone

what would the point of doing more be besides suggesting to people that anything could be done about this situation

The Soto signing is in some ways a Surprise and a Snub
December 9, 2024 at 10:36 PM
Sorry for your loss Daniel

Eric, re Sasaki can he announce his decision before signing eligibility begins on 1/15 or does he have to wait until then to say where he’s going?
December 7, 2024 at 4:51 PM
Yep, this is why when people say “well we have PSA and Ezra Klein” it’s like no that’s not what I want, they criticize Dems all the time, what I want (because I think it’s more strategically effective) is something where all they do is hype up Dems regardless of the specifics

In the same way that a lot of Dems are still hung up on norms and rules I feel like a lot of Dems feel icky saying what they want is just a purely partisan “always good for Dems type coverage0 outlet but we should embrace being open about saying that’s what we want

Forget bringing knives to a gunfight, right now it’s not even clear Democrat leaders want to leave their offices join the fight at all
December 4, 2024 at 5:56 PM
This to me is the single biggest reason why it’s been so hard to get worked up about anything, from stuff Trump is doing to the Biden pardon or whatever. If Dems don’t have people functionally opposing things at the national level what is the point in rank and file voters getting worked up about it
December 4, 2024 at 5:15 PM
cybertruck appeal seems to be really either or, I can’t fathom being a grown adult and thinking that car looks cool and I’m sure the people who drive them can’t fathom someone thinking it’s not cool
December 4, 2024 at 3:59 PM
To me that’s preposterous. Porg rangoon, things of that nature.

For me personally it has to be Bart Harley Jarvis or the Zipline
December 3, 2024 at 7:49 PM
suspect it’s possible that we’ll see with Twitter the same thing we’ve seen with CNN and MSNBC - liberals start to get mad and go away from using it and instead of reporters making it up by better appealing to Republicans it’ll just mean less interest in what reporters are saying there
December 3, 2024 at 5:12 PM
What I have been struggling with, even if I agree with most of your points, is why I should even care at this point. Things are going to do downhill starting next year and no amount of criticizing Biden or what not by Dems to get pundit points is gonna change anything that happens so why bother
December 3, 2024 at 4:58 PM
Going tomorrow! Feel like this screening series is somehow flying under the radar

P.s can you park in that lot for the NB?

stuff like this is why I have personally found it difficult to be upset about Hunter’s pardon. On balance, yeah it’s bad, but a bunch of bad stuff is gonna happen and being clear eyed about it I don’t see how Biden doing this makes anything more or less likely outside of pundit reactions
December 3, 2024 at 1:20 AM
Chad is it completely conspiratorially crazy to think there was an “unsaid” understanding in the Snell talks that we wouldn’t come to terms with Teo before Soto signed (although as I think about this in theory Teo being off the board could increase Soto’s value, idk)
December 3, 2024 at 1:18 AM
yep, the single biggest reason I personally feel like being upset about things right now is futile is that we do not have Dem leaders who are going to do anything or effectively message about it. Until that changes what use is there in me, random person, caring about anything that happens
December 2, 2024 at 6:30 PM
what I’m struggling with on this topic is understanding how my (or others at large) spending even 1 second being upset about HunterKs pardon is supposed to make an ounce of difference to all of the bad stuff that’s gonna happen in the coming years. Being mad at Biden now won’t change anything
December 2, 2024 at 6:20 PM
There is a vein of “person who supported Democrats, doesn’t support Republicans, but spends a lot of their content energy attacking Democrats” and I assume it’s just a way to deal with some personal embarrassment about voting for a side that didn’t win
December 2, 2024 at 5:32 PM
hard to blame him, his legacy is already torn apart for the foreseeable future, there weren’t going to be any “well we should at least give Biden credit for waiting until January 19th to pardon Hunter” caveats coming
