So there's this linguist by the name of George Lakoff and one of the things he studies (and is 100% right about imo) is political speech (framing arguments using Moral Foundations Theory and such). His main thing is that Democrats need to speak about values, that nobody gives a poo poo about policy. And when I heard Mayor Pete speaking I was like 'drat he gets it'. And then I read an article that was like 'well he's been corresponding with Lakoff since like 2004'. Aha okay.

Another anecdote was that I listened to some interviews and I was like 'Yeah this is like listening to Obama in 06 07'. I followed that up by saying 'I don't really mean that as a compliment'.

Don't get me wrong, I think a good way to create policy is to have values and then create specifics from them. But I don't think you can hype yourself as a progressive and then hem and haw about free college.

quote:

Is there a Democratic primary candidate you support?
Here’s what I think: [Trump] is gonna win again, because I say it myself and they all go “Ahhh!” when I say that. And I say, “Who are you gonna vote for?” Silence. There are 40 characters that are going to divide it all up. You know, the gay one I like. I’d vote for any of them, even though it would be really hard for me to vote for Elizabeth Warren who has never once said a funny thing in her entire life.

She is the best one, I would argue.
I think she will lose. Any of the ones that have already been out there will lose, big time. And any of the ones that try to be super left wing will really lose, too. And all the other ones just haven’t been around. I don’t know. I’m very much against Kamala [Harris] because she is a prisoner’s enemy. She made it so that you couldn’t get parole for ten years instead of five in California. She did a lot of things that are against prisoners’ rights, so I’m definitely against her. What’s the one, Mayor Pete? Is he the gay one?

Buttigieg, yeah.
To me it better be somebody young and somebody new. Who knows! It’s a civil war, and I believe that it could be decided by one vote. It’s split right down the middle. It’s just exhausting to me.
But I get why they like [Trump], because he infuriates us. And it’s everything he said he was gonna do. So he’s not lying to them. We were just too stupid and sat home and didn’t vote. Because the Democrats — so that’s what you get.

you hate to see it

quote:

He asked how I could hate the New Yorker and I told him that besides the fact that the New Yorker published lovely fiction (plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose), and the only gay fiction it published was assimilationist and boring, there was also the fact that an editor there (Dan Menaker, if we’re naming names) had rejected a story of mine by suggesting in his correspondence with my agent (by which I mean that he wasn’t embarrassed to write this down, let alone worried about repercussions) that psychological problems were preventing me from creating effective fiction. (By the way, gently caress you, Dan.)

From the pages of the New Yorker itself

quote:

Menaker was an assistant editor at Liveright, an imprint of W. W. Norton. (His father, Daniel Menaker, is a former executive editor-in-chief of Random House, and was also a fiction editor at The New Yorker for twenty years.) He is slight and bearded, the unofficial dad of the trio.
