Ongo Gablogian @arthurdarcy.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Watch her get no credit for suspending the tax and then get slaughtered for putting it back up when prices go down. Would love to have politicians who can think beyond next week. 040
Ongo Gablogian @arthurdarcy.bsky.social · 08/09/2026(Laying the groundwork to have the democratic candidate/party to support you before hand is also part of the scam) 030
Ongo Gablogian @arthurdarcy.bsky.social · 08/09/2026To be honest, the art of the independent-in-name-only scam is having background that is credibly non-partisan and having appeal outside of the usual democratic coalition. Bodnar is a university administrator and former democrat. I struggle to believe anyone is buying it. He's no Dan Osborne. 141
Ongo Gablogian @arthurdarcy.bsky.social · 03/09/2026...has Zack Polanski seen his own approval ratings? Not to mention a whole new swath of voters who are about to learn his thoughts on hypnotherapy-induced breast augmentation. Him being the candidate makes it a much harder win for the greens. 160
Ongo Gablogian @arthurdarcy.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Can't complain about luck in the top 100k by gw2 bro😂 000
Ongo Gablogian @arthurdarcy.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Not to mention the constant undertone of "Acemoglu finds X but doesn't consider Y" as they ignore the Y of his generational contribution to the field of economics. 050
Ongo Gablogian @arthurdarcy.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Just read it and... wow. Distinctly reminds me of being an undergraduate in economics and trying to include critiques of groundbreaking research (including Acemoglu's) in essays just because you felt like you weren't supposed to not swallow it whole. I didn't believe it; just filling page. 140
Ongo Gablogian @arthurdarcy.bsky.social · 30/07/2026Claudine Gay was basically railroaded though (you did a whole episode on it!), that isn't a fair comparison to this. 100
Ongo Gablogian @arthurdarcy.bsky.social · 29/07/2026For example: a statistically impossible number of polls in 2024 had the race tied, because pollsters were so worried about getting it wrong. www.natesilver.net/p/theres-mor...natesilver.netThere’s more herding in swing state polls than at a sheep farm in the Scottish HighlandsSome pollsters aren’t telling you what their data really says. 010
Ongo Gablogian @arthurdarcy.bsky.social · 29/07/2026en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Un... All the polls sponsored by pro-Stevens orgs say she's the better candidate. All the polls sponsored by El-Sayed orgs says he's the better candidate. Since 2024 cycle, we have really strong evidence that public polling is manipulated to suit a narrative.en.wikipedia.org2026 United States Senate election in Michigan - Wikipedia 110
Ongo Gablogian @arthurdarcy.bsky.social · 22/06/2026"For some reason competent, charismatic centrists are popular while bumbling, incompetent centrists are not. This is a real mystery that political science cannot explain" 140
Ongo Gablogian @arthurdarcy.bsky.social · 22/06/2026The fact that he did many things wrong to pass off many different interest groups is exactly the point. You realise that that's worse right? 020
Ongo Gablogian @arthurdarcy.bsky.social · 22/06/2026Literally cannot understand what makes you think you have enough information the assert this so confidently. You could only beleive this by viewing british politics through a telescope. 0130
Ongo Gablogian @arthurdarcy.bsky.social · 05/06/2026Is this what Making America Healthy Again looks like? 1240
Ongo Gablogian @arthurdarcy.bsky.social · 27/05/2026Doesn't change the fact that it would be inflationary, which after 5 years of above target inflation will add to inflation expectations. 000
Ongo Gablogian @arthurdarcy.bsky.social · 25/05/2026Had a look through the list, I could see literally anyone leaving except Danso, Gray, Maddison, Spence, Odobert and Kulusevski. The rest are either not good enough for us or would attract interest and might want to leave. 000
Ongo Gablogian @arthurdarcy.bsky.social · 19/05/2026Is there a reasonable explanation for taking so many short set pieces? Because I'm screaming at the telly every time they do it. 000
Ongo Gablogian @arthurdarcy.bsky.social · 15/05/2026In 2024 Mackerfield was the best reform performance in the ENTIRE northwest and their best performance in any labour-won seat in the country. He couldn't have picked a harder seat if he tried. 020
Ongo Gablogian @arthurdarcy.bsky.social · 14/05/2026Equally, ideologies exist within a certain context. To be a zionist in the 21st century can only really refer to the actually existing state of Israel and its war against palestinians, not the idealised utopian Israel of 20th century Liberal zionism. 040
Ongo Gablogian @arthurdarcy.bsky.social · 14/05/2026If supporters of Israel can still loudly and proudly call themselves zionists, isn't your proposal merely unilateral disarmament? 130
Ongo Gablogian @arthurdarcy.bsky.social · 11/05/2026Renting out a narrowboat is bordering on slumlord. 000
Ongo Gablogian @arthurdarcy.bsky.social · 09/05/2026It matters A LOT in local elections and in a world of tactical voting! The amount of people I know who said "I voted green because they're the only ones who put a leaflet through my door". 040
Ongo Gablogian @arthurdarcy.bsky.social · 14/04/2026Isn't the lesson of Vance's disastrous speech in Hungary that American politicians jetting around the world telling other people how to think is counterproductive? I can't see how you look at the public reaction to MAGA-internationalism and say "we need a Liberal version of that" 000
Ongo Gablogian @arthurdarcy.bsky.social · 04/04/2026It's a fair point to an extent, but they also socialise with other MPs and journalists more than 99% of people which I think does much more to shape their worldview. It's a fairly clique-ish group. 080
Ongo Gablogian @arthurdarcy.bsky.social · 01/04/2026Did you follow up by pointing out that Musk did not, in fact, have the ability to deliver Hyperloop, and that this was very obvious at the time? 030
Ongo Gablogian @arthurdarcy.bsky.social · 01/04/2026For once I don't agree this is a fair statement. Post-war in Iran inflation figures will be much higher than 2.4%, we just don't have the March rate yet. That is 100% Trump's fault, whereas Carter and Biden victims of energy price shocks largely out of their control. 010
Ongo Gablogian @arthurdarcy.bsky.social · 31/03/2026Impossible that Susan Collins, Janet Mills or the media would be able to find public reddit comments. Must be Mossad. LMAO 010
Ongo Gablogian @arthurdarcy.bsky.social · 27/03/2026Don't give them ideas, half of them support the other side. 000
Ongo Gablogian @arthurdarcy.bsky.social · 25/03/2026Or Tulsi, who was after all the original Fetterman. All the signs were there, people just chose to ignore them. 120
Ongo Gablogian @arthurdarcy.bsky.social · 25/03/2026Because he was paid off by fossil fuel industry. That's perfectly rational. 0160

Ongo Gablogian @arthurdarcy.bsky.social · 15/03/2026If the Lib Dems want to stop Farage they should demand we strengthen democratic accountability, not weaken it. Focus energy on destroying the electoral system that would allow him to win a majority with a small minority of the vote share. 010
Ongo Gablogian @arthurdarcy.bsky.social · 15/03/2026What about Trump's fascist takeover of America convinces you that a written constitution is the solution? 101
Ongo Gablogian @arthurdarcy.bsky.social · 01/03/2026She was merely repeating the words of the great intellectual Thomas Friedman. 000
Ongo Gablogian @arthurdarcy.bsky.social · 01/03/2026Neoconservative was an intellectual ideology and philosophy. Trumpist-Hegsethism is the caveman logic of making America the alpha-male country by regularly killing people in smaller, weaker countries. 000
Ongo Gablogian @arthurdarcy.bsky.social · 27/02/2026Hi, are you embarrassed that you believed this? Will you think twice before uncritically spreading labour HQ talking points in future? 030
Ongo Gablogian @arthurdarcy.bsky.social · 24/02/2026America is on it's second consecutive dementia-having president and they think the candidate should be someone in their late 70s. Its a very entitled generation of people running things. 110
Ongo Gablogian @arthurdarcy.bsky.social · 20/02/2026Consumers are now paying twice. The first time when they bought imported goods for higher prices, and the second time when they pay higher taxes to refund businesses. A fucking disaster. 000
Ongo Gablogian @arthurdarcy.bsky.social · 14/02/2026I'm personally considering something similar but selling Mbuemo instead of Rice. Think his goal share looks too low. 000
