"The Duke's Decision" got pirated on Google Play, scraped off Royal Road. Irksome. If you put something out there where people can read it for free, other people will steal it to try to make money off of it.

Haven't been on Bluesky for a while, but while I'm logged in, I should follow up to say that I did indeed write an article on political violence. mcintee.substack.com/p/end-politi...

When Harris picked Walz as a running mate, I thought it was a normal-tier choice. At this point, I think it marked a huge failure in vetting by Democrats, and that Republicans dropped the ball in oppo research.

The legal strategy that annoys me the most when it comes to election reform (and it works a lot) is playing clock shenanigans. It should never be too early or too late to hold the state accountable for conducting elections properly.

At this point, I intend to make a serious effort to write up a functional, fair, transparent, and easy to understand redistricting algorithm. I'm interested in commentary, feedback, and comparison to other existing redistricting algorithms. mcintee.substack.com/p/how-should...

This isn't going to make me many friends on BlueSky, but those of you relying on BlueSky as source of information deserve to know that Karen Attiah misquoted Charlie Kirk and is therefore presently doubling down on a lie.

I don't think I will write an article on the Charlie Kirk assassination. I may write one more broadly on political violence. I deeply disapprove of this development. This is abhorrent and morally indefensible.

We already went through the "affirmative action cheating" cycle with Elizabeth Warren. She still got elected in her safely Democratic constituency, but by a notably smaller margin, and head-to-head polls suggested that she would manage to lose the popular vote to Donald Trump nationally.

This article is unpopular to the point of ragebait in the blue bubble here on BlueSky. But it's correct. Allowing any one of hundreds of federal judges to issue a decision immediately binding on the entire nation was unsustainable.

So, uh… these are headline images for the anti ICE action in Los Angeles. I don’t think they depict protest aesthetics that the typical American swing voter responds positively to. Just as a quick strategy note.

It has been 43 years since Reagan proved that cutting taxes would not increase revenue even when the top marginal rate was 70%. The top marginal rate is nowhere near 70%, and yet we still have talk about "tax cuts" and "deficit reduction" as if the US is on the far side of the Laffer curve.

If I had to read tea leaves based on the DNC's officer elections, I would say that the party is not correcting course based on the 2024 loss. Most battleground state Democrats outperformed Kamala Harris. The lone former elected official they just put in the vice chair position is a rare exception.

AFAIK, there were no actions taken by the Biden administration that: (A) Represented a break with what "Blue Team" elites asked for. (B) Were less popular among voters than what "Blue Team" elites would have preferred. If you have a counterexample, speak up.

Tomas McIntee @mathintee.bsky.social · 23/01/2025

Something I started observing 6 years ago - and actively pointed out in articles starting in fall of 2019 - was that "blue" media were overtly hostile to Biden, frequently explicitly on the basis of his age, race, and sex. Zero surprise that, once elected, the Biden administration reciprocated.

Tomas McIntee @mathintee.bsky.social · 21/01/2025

His first time in office, Trump didn’t know where the levers of power were, then Democrats took the midterms. (Common rookie error, Bill Clinton had a similar experience.) That stack of executive orders demonstrated he has done his homework now … and he has majorities in both chambers.

Wasn't a fan of the "Biden isn't really president" discourse, but the lame duck period really did check off a lot of bizarre boxes that would have been on the wishlist for young highly-online staffers.

A large bipartisan supermajority passed the "TikTok ban" law. It was then promptly signed by a cooperative president. The Supreme Court has upheld the law unanimously 9-0. TikTok has gone dark. Will the Trump administration flout the law to turn it back on?

Based on polling and news, I think the UK is approaching a tipping point. It’s been a running joke that the UK has a three party system where the most hated party gets to govern. But the old parties have consistently given the finger to UK public opinion on key topics, and that isn’t sustainable.

Kamala & Hillary were both inside-track politicians who were unpopular, & got where they did by playing the right insider games. Hillary almost won anyway because Republicans also failed to nominate a sensible candidate, but both nominations were bad decisions.

To celebrate my own “graduation” from the electoral college, I felt it was only right to get a copy of @mathintee.bsky.social’s well-named book. It’s a pretty great overview of the EC! I’ll probably end up lending it to my family so they can finally understand what I’ve been yapping about.

My lists have drawn some attention recently, so I'll run down what they are and what my reasoning is for using them. First, I'm using lists because blocks are public on Bluesky, so I may as well use them to manage blocking. You can look up blocks & lists on Clearsky.

I think history will judge Jimmy Carter kindly. He led a remarkable life, and even his critics mostly accept that he was a good man, which is not so common when it comes to judging living politicians.

To give you a notion of what it used to mean for a Democratic politician to be boldly progressive, here's Gallup polling highlighting support for gay marriage when Biden rocked the boat by going full "gaffe machine" and supporting it in May 2012. Democrats were really careful about picking fights.

Fun fact: Once your side wins the popular vote, the Electoral College suddenly looks a lot less appealing. Don't let up, folks, the #ElectoralCollege is terrible & if we can get a brief bipartisan consensus behind getting rid of it, we can make real progress.
