literally the #1 stereotype of politicians is that they lie and ezra is like bwaaah??

usually, for some reason, they're reluctant to just straight-up lie. instead they'll tell half-truths and make misleading statements and generally say things that are technically true but not actually an answer to what was asked

Donnie T doesn't split hairs like that, he just openly lies without worrying about what the media thinks

but they cut bill himself out of the campaign to an insane degree, presumably because he was constantly driven to say "you're all really stupid and are doing this totally wrong"

he was a more prominent feature in the 2012 campaign than 2016 which is just crazy to me.

bill really discredited himself in 2008 primaries when gaffed vs obama

ironically his instincts were correct in 2016

what youre saying is that all the others speak lawyerese which turns lanyards like ezra klein on but trump just lies to your face without trying to dress it up which hilariously seems honest by comparison

Well he'd get a huge portion. You'd get a noticeably smaller one, the difference in which he'd remind you of at least five times throughout the meal.

p much yeah

like how all the lanyard types pointed at the fine print in Hillary's fundraising agreement and said that the contract said it only applied to the general - technically true, but obvious bullshit

meanwhile, trump just flat-out said "if I lose, it was rigged" and the media just had no idea how to handle that

I'd have dinner with Trump and eat a big bloody steak while making fun of his baby taco bowl. Then I'd take Barron out to shoot some hoops and I'd become his new dad. First Lady Melania and I would fall in love and move back to Soviet Yugoslavia.

You wouldn't need to ask, after about thirty seconds he'd start in on the rambling half-hour run-on sentence that would dominate the entire meal.

upticket poo poo doesn't matter in the long term. i mean, the nuclear hellfire will ensure that nothing matters in the long term, sure

but assuming that doesn't come to pass, seeing some openly lefty people gaining traction in regional representation is a good thing. all politics is local. a bottom-up groundswell is the force that will cleanse the grifters and cockroaches from the party apparatus, it ain't gonna be a Great Man cleaning house from the top down.

i mean, an american jeremy corbyn strong enough to power through some ridiculous establishment headwinds would be cool, of course, but you can't rely on that happening

it is quite amazing though, after surviving a two year siege and reaping a pretty decent electoral harvest we're actually seeing a few parliamentary labour types thawing their cold blackened hearts and realizing that pro-human policies and gaining power are not in fact entirely incompatible

bernie is popular because he's relateable. so you could have a cool conversation w/ him about the state of america as a nation and where he thinks politics are going and what's a good way to affect positive change and stuff
