He also worked for Hillary 2016 (last line in the article), which isn’t so much a riff on them, as just added hilarity on Rudy. Apparently being black was the sole thing they might have been looking for.

Trump holding more rallies makes no sense to anyone but he and the people who have consumed the most Kool-Aid. It allows him the chance to continue to bloviate to an audience who will act as an echo chamber and make him feel validated for his :tinfoil: line of thinking while also feeding his need to win at all costs, global pandemic be damned.

It's perfect for his ego.

I saw the Clyburn interview. It wasn’t that he said defund the police is dumb, just that it’s not branded well. This is something we’ve all said when it comes Dem messaging. The question remains should we really care what Suzy soccer mom thinks or if we should just rebrand then intent, accountability in policing.

At the same time, the moderate message didn't turn out votes, as evidenced by moderates doing poorly on downballot elections. The folks who actually want poo poo to change are the folks who showed up to vote, and the message that "defund the police" hurts Dems is a surefire way to ensure nobody turns out for your next election. Meanwhile the conservatives will continue turning the racism dial until they get it perfectly tuned.

Jim might have lived it during the civil rights movement, but stabbing the folks who delivered the presidency is a hell of a way to say thanks.

Considering how downraces have been (as you point out), it's a question (and one that needs more analysis), that the association alone wasn't a net positive. People can point out AOC/Omar all the want, but those races weren't even remotely competitive (I think AOC is D+30), and it's possible that it was all a mixed success, good for dem strongholds, not so much for competitive races, if only by association. Once again this is going to require more data and I could totally be wrong, but much like one exit poll being tossed at the Lincoln Project (especially as it discounts any look at independent voters), I don't think anyone can claim it with any certainty...at this point and time.

But eh I'm willing to put aside any differences as we find out who Mark Meadows rona'ed beyond Big Ben and staffers.

BLM and defund the police have never been democratic messaging whatsoever. The big BLM protests took place against the policies of democratic mayors and city councils in blue states. Joe Biden's plan for police is to give them more money. Democratic embrace of defund the police is complete fiction.

It takes a lot of delta V to launch someone into the sun. I am pretty sure planets further out are easier to get to than the sun.

Split it across a couple of MIRV'ed rockets. I mean if we still had the peacekeeper this would have been a lot easier.

All the reps getting mad at democrats embracing defund the police - they won, they got what they wanted and almost no elected Dems anywhere came within 100 feet of saying defund the police. What these guys are getting mad at is their otherwise powerless voters, in some cases the same ones who knocked on doors for them in that election they just barely won.

:dukedog:
The thing about any argument that "defund the police" hurt the Dems is that once that can has been popped, the Republicans will continue using it as a stick to beat on anyone they feel like, so you might as well support it anyway. This also goes for most progressive policies that make candidates go "no, no, I absolutely don't want that! I'm with you guys!"

Sorry to interrupt the circular firing squad, but has the orange one gotten in front of a mic and waved around obituaries yet?

I just bet a friend that he would not actually pay for any recount and would instead just bluster while sending out hourly fundraising emails until he runs the clock out and can complain about how the deep state wouldn't allow a recount and I need to know how safe my bet is.

Edit: also, demilitarize the police is a great approach. Maybe you can even get some of those 1990s rush listeners who bitched about Jack booted thugs.

More data analysis is definitely needed. Were the split tickets mostly Republicans who were persuaded to dump Trump? Independent centrists? We don't know so it's really premature to say that the left wing killed the down ballot races, or going harder left would have inspired more support or any other conclusion.

I think that makes the most sense. If someone does data/poli sci, this seems like a goldmine to get funding and grants.
