  • It’s even possible Favreau is specifically saying the Democrats DIDN’T go after the electoral majority because they were influenced unduly by special interests to go after the centrists when they could have been going after the people who didn’t vote at all (for whatever reason)

    That’s how I first read it. Idk though, I’m not exactly sure what Favreau’s trying to say here

    Edit: I reread the tweet a couple times and I think that your interpretation is correct. He specifically calls out corporations and donors as the groups that Dems should resist, and calls dems to focus on the electoral majority (like you said, potential voters) and if that’s what he meant then I agree with him.










  • Yeah, it might be just to arrest him, but America clearly doesn’t give a fuck. The fact of the matter is the people picked Trump this election, if nothing else arresting him will only galvanize his followers and legitimatize their own turn to fascism. There’s no good outcome in this scenario, we missed that opportunity on election night. It sucks but right now we’re the kid playing with fire; obviously we need to learn the hard way. We should’ve learned from the last trump presidency you say? Yeah, we really, really should’ve.




  • Okay but YouTube suggested videos are genuinely way worse than they used to be. I can’t even fall down rabbit holes anymore. Trying to “curate” the algorithm is like swimming against the current. I can try and try to get YouTube to recommend me live music, but even when I manage to find something, the next video is going to be either a video I already watched yesterday or Rick Beato’s daily rant about the top 40. Every time.

    I used to be able to spend hours just browsing, drifting from topic to topic. Now it’s like they’re trying to trap me in a loop of their most profitable videos

    Lies and statistics. Out of the last 7 elections they also won 3. And out of the last 3 they only won 1. Really it’s a pretty even split so far this century, and counting this last election Republicans have had the edge. So sure the dnc isn’t losing all of their elections, but ffs sake they should be doing a lot better than this.
