Important to note that Nate Silver works for Peter Theil, who has donated heavily to Trump pacs, and is responsible for giving us JD Vance.

Seems to me, if you could successfully pull this off and not look like an idiot while pausing to listen to instructions, then that’s pretty impressive in itself and shows the kind of skills coordinating and multitasking that you probably want in a president.

He works for Peter Theil now, so I take everything he says with a huge grain of salt.

First we need to shift the Overton window left by repeatedly defeating Republicans.

I think conventional wisdom on political strategy is long overdue for an update.

I don’t know. It’s been pretty clear for a while that the traditional Democrat strategy of winning by courting centrists and staying the course has been less and less effective every election. Tapping into enthusiasm for leftist policies and energizing the base to increase turnout has seemed like the better move for a while. That’s what Obama won big on and then completely failed to deliver.

Staying the course with the “nothing will fundamentally change” candidate was always a path to losing, and after his disastrous policy on Gaza we were in a nosedive.

Tim waltz seems like a good pick. Seems to have a bit of the Bernie, no-bullshit, authenticity that plays well with independents.

I don’t know. I think with abortion on the ballot having a woman at the top of the ticket will be a benefit.

She’s done far more good than bad. This kind of purity testing is why the left in this country is so weak.

They’re already voting for trump.
