also this. ossoff's tone is "we all know this guy should get fucked, right? im just the leader saying it out loud. but we all understand this. we are united in this. i was just designated as the guy who gets to vocalize how you feel." bsky.app/profile/cora...

a big part of ossoff's rhetorical success is it doesnt contain the compromise and caveats that are a baked-in part of democratic party rhetoric. theres no pretending that his opponent is just misguided or will be pulled back from the edge by "the good republicans." ossoff is saying "fuck this guy"

He doesn't play the role of underdog like so many older Dems who fancy themselves like the righteous Civil Rights era activists. Voters don't respect righteousness, they respect strength. And Ossoff speaks as if he deserves to be in power and the other side are embarrassing clowns.

hollywood releasing a bunch of movies about how an insane, radicalized cabal of billionaires are trying to gobble up the world economy approximately 3 weeks after said insane cabal gobbles up the entertainment industry is what historians call a "whoopsy doodle" moment

Anyway tldr I'll never match the valor my Grandfather displayed on the battlefield in Europe. And frankly, I don't want to. I'd rather emulate the life he led after the war, raising a family, having hobbies, volunteering in the community. I think maybe more GWOT vets should consider this approach

the reason “AI will create so much abundance we will have a utopian society” rhetoric falls so flat is that the people building it will never, ever share their bounty unless it is taken from them and we all know it

This fits to me. Vance has such a mile-wide-inch-deep understanding of politics and history that the aesthetic of de Gaulle - a unifying, conservative, semi-democratic figure - probably feels both appealing and viable to him.

I am struck that the political theory of MAGA in Trump 2.0 is the GOP can win without sound or moral government if everyone throws red meat to the cameras as the occasional bribe. You see it with Trump, Patel, Hegseth, all of them. Anyway, Trump's approval is at, like, -23, so...no luck on that.

*so important*: if you’re voting by mail, assume the USPS will delay because it’s its policy. You can: —put it in drop box —go to counter to watch them postmark in front of you —if you’re dropping it in a mailbox, do it VERY EARLY.

rather, they are in some deep sense priests of the american civic religion, responsible for performing the rituals of that civic religion. and one of the most fundamental promises of america is that it is a land of equality for all. a land of equal freedom, equal respect, equal citizenship.

but even setting all the rest of it aside, i think bouie is right to focus on the mere act of slurring trans people. the role of public servants--especially but not restricted to high public servants, entrusted with the highest and most powerful offices--is that they are not just bureaucrats.

Amy Wax did this within the span of a few years, one year praising East Asians and asking why Black Americans didn’t simply Tiger Mom their way to success like Chinese and Korean immigrants, then soon after saying there were “too many Asians” because they were too conformist.
