The story of the MeToo Charity was really hilarious and a classic example of liberal hubris.

Like how people in the charity got threatened for not doing enough to Andrew Cuomo positive press coverage via positive fluff pieces.

Mimi Rocah just covered his rear end too, libs are unserious people with this whole "too big to fail" paradigm. Time for a reset imo

I'm glad that her various minions like Terry McAuliffe ended up being election day poison in a state Biden won by 10 points.

now I understand the allure of being a swing voter

I guess it might be more accurate to say "most people only consider 'liking Democrats,' 'liking Republicans,' or 'not paying attention' to be the possible politics perspectives, with a minority who sort of personally pride themselves on being 'an independent who is open to 'both sides'"

I still think the analogy I used a while back of people watching politics in the exact same way they watch a TV show is accurate. If you're watching a show, your opinions are naturally going to be limited to the characters and events in the show (and in the case of politics, "the show" is what people see and read about politics in the media). People are going to think you're being weird if you say something like "everyone in the show is bad and it would be better if there was a completely different character that did this completely different thing." The only characters are the ones in the show, so you'll either have a positive or negative opinion about the characters in the show, or you won't watch the show at all, and that basically encompasses the way the vast majority of Americans engage with politics.

But the main thing that it's easy to forget as we discuss this stuff is that the vast majority of people don't really agree or disagree with our perspective; it's just not even on their radar in the first place. You can talk with them and maybe it'll even seem like you've accomplished something, but at the end of the day the other person will walk away thinking "I guess whatever that person was talking about makes sense, but it's irrelevant to whether I prefer Republicans or Democrats more." Maybe they'll agree that, say, Bernie Sanders is better some other Democrat, but they consider the whole discussion to be inconsequential next to the topic of "Republicans vs Democrats" and probably just think you're being weird for caring so much about some minor inter-team issue.

I would say that’s true to a point, but there is a whole range of topics, “Socialism” being an obvious one, where it doesn’t matter if it’s on their radar or they’ve ever heard about it: when they hear it they act with reflexive opposition and start spouting off half remembered half understood talking points.

I guess the closet thing might be mentioning Big Bang Theory or Two and a Half Men to a sophisticated cosmopolitan lib: They’ve never seen a frame, but they know they’re supposed to hate it.

something funny just occurred to me

the democrat voters that comprise D&D don't realize there is a culture war just inside SA and they're still losing it

defending the indefensible and losing over and over again just seems like a subculture for them just like liberals of whatever persuasion who think they're doing good poo poo or something is for the general public.
