Why is NOBODY making the electability argument for Amy Klobuchar, the candidate with 12 supporters who loses to Trump in every single opinion poll.

electability has nothing to do with polls or number of supporters.

it’s all theoretical. it’s the Chicago school of economics but for elections

nate silver's identity politics logic is literally people will support someone who shares their own identity uncritically and was the basis of saying beto was gonna be a hit with young people

klob is from the midwest, therefore midwest people will support her

Yeah, he's had some good policy opinions (and some bad but well meaning ones) among the garbage and would probably do better in a lower position with someone above him who can say no.

It all makes sense if you understand that the word "electability" is just shorthand for "support from the commentariat". Klobb has support from the commentariat, therefore she is electable. Bernie doesn't have support from the commentariat, therefore he's unelectable.

I feel like once M4A is established and running, UBI will be Bernie's next step. UBI is absolutely a necessity for the American people, but without social services properly established (healthcare, education, and childcare) UBI won't be the boon for people Yang is claiming it will be because people will be using their UBI money for things that should be paid for by the government anyway. Maybe if it was more than $1000 a month, then Yang's solution of "make up for government shortcomings by letting Americans choose where to throw their government stipend at" miiiiiight work. Maybe.

Also, Yang is a techbro through-and-through. Per the last debate, he doesn't have a problem with China's mass surveillance techniques, his issue is that the USA doesn't have a comparable program. So while I'm glad he's talking about UBI, he--or anyone with similar ideas to him--should not be anywhere close to the White House.

Pete Voice: It is much easier to extract an arrow from a carcass than a bullet, and while reusing the bullet is a labor intensive process that requires chemicals and heavy machinery reusing arrows is fairly simple. Bow hunting is an excellent skill to have when the bounds of society become unfettered and meat is back on the menu.

As a father who has a passing interest in archery I can confirm this is the closest he's been to relatable

Though if he was really trying to pander he would be talking about going to one of those bar/ax throwing establishments

Pete voice: when you shoot an animal with a rifle, if you do it right, you spray its brain across the forest and it is dead before it hits the ground. With a bow that almost never happens. it really lets you get close to the animal in ots last moments. it gives you a chance to see that moment when the light goes out. That's the real essence of hunting. It's what I live for.

Just remembered this morning how like 2 months ago they broke a story about Stephen Miller being a white nationalist (obvious) and a bunch of people in the media spent a day on twitter being angry that everyone was responding with "yeah that's obvious." Then after that day some former DC politics journalist posted a tweet noting that anyone who'd been a DC press person since 2013 had gotten at least a few emails from Miller full of racist propaganda. Everyone suddenly stopped talking about the story after that.

Not really sure how you move the country forward, as opposed to turning in to England, with out [parody] [parody]ing all the journalists ASAP.

I dunno Book Dany maybe, but TV Dany was legit a liberator who only seemed to care about freeing people from serfdom. She's crazy in the way John Brown was crazy.

In the book, you get in her head, and she's a boiling cauldron of insanity and obsessed with regaining her throne.

A cool part of trying to make Klobmentum happen is that even with all this effort at best you can hope to get her up to 8-9% most likely, just hacking in to Biden, Pete, and maybe a bit of Warren even. Let's log-jam the not-Bernie lane!!

e- she can fill the role Harris had a month ago.
