Swear I saw two hell posts being like "Tesla is the highest vehicle manufacturer in the world" and "I don't know where society would be with Elon Musk" and I truly don't know how to cope Shared reality broke years ago, but that was usually "why" and not "what". There's no agreed-on "what"s now

I find it deeply irritating how, apart from Selzer herself, pollsters/aggregators/pundits generally portray polls as The Objective Truth Down To 0.1% then respond to the slightest hint of criticism about their methods with "ackshully polls are worthless, reality is fundamentally unknowable."

Major newsdesk: To maintain parity, we kept following conservative lines of thinking wherever they go, assuming viewers already had a semblance of leftist ideology. When that line goes to quackery, we clean it up. Our bosses are shouting "keep going" but how do we sanitize "squirrel pornographer"?

The bad news about Twitter is that it's absolutely unsearchable, completely in the bag for fascists, and full of crypto-brained teens slowly radicalizing themselves But the good news is when you do read a post you like, under it are 40-80 replies missing the point making you regret clicking it

This is one of those "imagine if the situation was flipped," where Trump voters would absolutely be wearing taxidermied squirrel pelts around Thing is, tho, they *think* the news works like that - were librul tears pulls the cameras focus. They are misanthropes trying to "pull the sympathy card"

Ed Grimley Dakimakura @reversedrivers.bsky.social · 03/11/2024

Not in the bag, but very funny to make this complaint about the most milquetoast "think of your children's future when you vote" ad. Like, yes voting for Trump is objectively an evil act by taking what their campaign platform is literally. That's absolutley nowhere *near* the message the ad evokes

We also need a referendum on "people not vocally supporting the incumbent means votes flipped" pollsters. Biden being historically unpopular among the base in July didn't mean that base had a change in heart about Trump This late surge is the just volume being turned up, not some historic swing

Ed Grimley Dakimakura @reversedrivers.bsky.social · 03/11/2024

How wrong, truly, were the final metrics in 2016 to cause this result? Depressed Dem turnout + disenfranchisement pushed a lot of it to the brink, but everyone knows that a bug in the EC won that election. Did pollsters themselves invent a silent popular conservative front?

My dismay is that the "2020 was when liberal society *went too far*" view dominates newsrooms, and not the far more palatable "2020 showed the vast majority of society willingly sacrificed for the mutual benefit of their neighbors, and austerity-driven madmen slowly scraped that good will away" view

I'm truly bemused by how many centrist scolds assure us all we only consume media that confirms our priors when 99% of sane-washing is done by people who live under a paradigm of "sensible conservatism" that's never existed - and *certainly* wasn't happening in their cultural hey-day of 1998

Imagine this being your most revealing political moment, only to have consultants spend 2 decades insisting "NO! 1992 is the template, we can never go back to Obama!" Boomer generational myths have ruined our movement, and parasitized our generational coming-of-age

Even if they identify as liberal Democrats and don't believe they like Trump, the people who call shots in newsrooms hold as a matter of settled fact that All That 2020 Stuff Went Too Far and they consider some amount of reactionary politics a needed rebalancing and just deserts for the wokes

He managed to hit a loophole where speaking nonsense and being insane made you marketable, because Repubs have been spewing nonsense for 40 years & MSM pundits just report the horserace now Outside of that, he's a historically miserable candidate. Fucking god awful without all the assistance
