OK. I'm gonna do something here with this discourse, and it's not ~really~ about cars. It's about the mindset of "I deserve this" and how that preempts the logic parts of the brain in ways which can hurt you. Here's a crotchety old man thread: (1/10)

the democratic party’s basic problem is it has almost no control over how its message reaches the ears of voters, especially outside of presidential election years. but rather than devote serious time, attention and cash to that problem its consultants and pundits want to fight factional battles

one of the interesting thing i have seen in the platner discourse is a refusal to confront a thing on its own terms. to his pundit supporters, platner isn’t a novice candidate with perhaps questionable judgment to be evaluated on his ability to win, but a symbol to wield against rivals

"AI 2027" argues that AI will reach roughly human level in roughly 2027. This just happens to be right about when OpenAI would expect to start to run out of money. I argue that this is not a coincidence at all, and its predictions are all wrong. www.verysane.ai/p/agi-probab...

1/ Here's the thing with Slotkin mentioning Reagan: if you want Dems to be an internationalist party that defends liberal values/democracy against autocratic imperialism, you need to articulate an actual *vision* for that. And we can do better than "80s-00s neoconservatism spray painted blue."

If you have 45 minutes, watch this short, deeply moving documentary. It somehow manages to be both affirming and utterly devastating. Heather Shaner embodies what every far-right "constitutionalist" claims to believe. Which is why they loathe her. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tt1D...

This, from Tim Alberta's inauspiciously timed (it's dated July 10) piece on how "Trump Is Planning for a Landslide Win," needs to be on replay on every news outlet. Back when Trump thought he'd beat Joe Biden easily, he fired the field experts. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
he RNC under Ronna McDaniel, who chaired the national party from early 2017 until LaCivita’s takeover, had become a frequent target of Trump’s ire. He didn’t like that the party remained neutral in the early stages of the 2024 primary—and he was especially furious that McDaniel commissioned debates among the candidates. But what might have bothered him most was the RNC’s priorities: McDaniel was continuing to pour money into field operations, stressing the need for a massive get-out-the-vote program, but showed little interest in his pet issue of “election integrity.”

“Tell you what,” Trump said to Wiles and LaCivita. “I’ll turn out the vote. You spend that money protecting it.”

The marching orders were clear: Trump’s lieutenants were to dismantle much of the RNC’s existing ground game and divert resources to a colossal new election-integrity program—a legion of lawyers on retainer, hundreds of training seminars for poll monitors nationwide, a goal of 100,000 volunteers organized and assigned to stand watch outside voting precincts, tabulation centers, and even individual drop boxes.

This is an excellent piece about what the assumptions behind weighting can do to a poll’s results. My feeling is that it’s more likely than not that pollsters have been predominantly making similar assumptions that are going to be biased in the wrong direction.
