Ezra Klein...take a bow
JD Vance: "One of the biggest challenges that we have in the housing market, aside from too many illegal aliens who are taking the houses of American citizens, is that in the blue states you're not building enough houses."

David Axelrod stating on election night that Wilson had lost wasn't just premature and worthy of a "gotcha." It demonstrated a shocking lack of awareness of how Washington state elections work (esp. with all mail-in ballots).
Local media is calling it: Katie Wilson will be the next mayor of Seattle.
Wilson ousts Mayor Bruce Harrell after running as a progressive challenger.
Her win is a west coast companion to Mamdani’s as a statement victory for the left.

This is specifically about Ezra Klein, but it applies to millions of white men.
Ezra Klein quoted a Buddhist prayer to Ta-Nehisi Coates… right after Coates was talking about MLK’s murder. This isn’t wisdom or empathy—it’s podcast brain + liberal squish vibes. Equipoise is great b...

Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

I think the American right is in fact correct about several things and it would be wise to concede that.

(1/X) Check out a typical Harper's letter signatory's Twitter feed and you'll mostly *still* find 80% complaints about the "woke left", even in the midst of the greatest government crack-down on free speech in at least 60 tears.
Why? Because the "free speech" movement is donor/patron-driven.

to this i would add a good amount of self-loathing stemming from a belief that liberal political views are somehow “inauthentic” or an affectation of “elites”
I agree with whoever said a rather under-appreciated dynamic is the extent to which Professional Politics Opinion Havers flat out just find the left interpersonally irritating in a way they do not find the right so, and I think a lot of the talk of a vibe shift was wish-casting their irritants away.

Damn smart, really spot on piece here by @Reed Galen.bsky.social. I’ve only been a Democrat for 4 months, this piece nails the elitism of the establishment left.👇
I listened all 71 minutes of Ezra Klein and Ta-Nehisi Coates' podcast so you don't have to. Takeaway: No one should be surprised establishment Democrats are losing ground if Klein is their 'spiritual guide.' My latest, up now. open.substack.com/pub/reedgale...

Ezra Klein is so emblematic of a certain kind of man in media.
Incurious while thinking he's open-minded, condescending while ignorant of his of ignorance.
It's an intellectual exercise for him, as if that's a marker of his journalistic professionalism rather than an expression of his privilege.

The rebranding of reactionary gender and biological essentialism as “heterodox and challenging ideas to which liberal students must be exposed” is one of the greatest achievements of our stupid era. Congratulations to the reactionary centrists who helped make it happen - you dupes, you utter dolts.
