Moralists don't really *have* beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child's toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded.

Warren is an absolute idiot who panics when she's put on the spot, her and her team come up with these "plans" that are completely asinine and please nobody except the dumbest of libs, and there are honestly people who think she could go up against Trump. He would eat her alive.

imagine if the police were about to come to your house and arrest you for robbing a convenience store but luckily for you before you left the store you grabbed the hdd with the footage of the robbery on it and they got no tangible evidence to pin the robbery on you

then when the cops show up you sit them down in front of your computer and show them the footage and give them a copy and triumphantly shout "ha!" as though you were the master of all things

that's elizabeth warren and her campaign, y'all

The replies to that tweet are fun; it's one-half the left making GBS threads on her for pandering half-measures and one-half chuds calling trans people a fad and saying that this is the first step to Warren opening gulags just like Bernie is planning to do (?? I guess this is the O'Keefe video thing ??). Once again Warren figured out how to upset everybody except for a handful of overpaid former Hillary staffers.

The woman literally created a website to compile every negative rumor about her in one place. She shoots herself in the foot so often it's almost surreal. I'm expecting her to rip off a mask at some point and show that she's actually been Andy Kaufman this whole time.

I was not caught up in the last thread, what's up with this? I know he announced something was gonna drop about Bernie but then never heard anything about it, I assumed he'd heard about the 'woman can't win' thing in advance.

e: Nevermind, I found it. Even by O'Keefe's standards that's dumb, like Wohl-level dumb.

She also - along with the rest of us - watched the Clinton campaign collapse under its own ineptitude and still decided that when the time came for her to run for president, she wanted her senior campaign staff to be the same people that ran Clinton's into the ground.

It's working out about as well as you'd expect.

It's pretty common for polls to be a few days old at release. For whatever reason a couple have been released really late recently.

If a young trans person is qualified to interview her secretary of education then she should just hire that person instead of using that person as a rubber stamp.

In what ways has she been pretty intelligent? If she accepts and acts on poisonous advice, doesn't her inability to recognize that the advice is poisonous point to her being not so bright after all?

On the one hand, I'm glad the Klobocop stuff is coming out to curb the threat of Klobmentum (and more importantly reveal how terrible she is). On the other, I hope it doesn't hurt her too much so she can still dilute the centrist vote a little longer.

Exactly this. "Unskew the polls" is not just for partisan lunatics, it's actually standard policy for all these companies. Psephology as a whole is a complete sham

Is it a sham or marketing? I imagine there's a vested interest in pushing a particular narrative to sell more views -- like, even without going too far into the weeds and suggesting establishment dems and republicans are favored by the established interests, aren't the pollsters incentivized to give the "closest race" numbers possible for as long as possible to make everyone reporting on it more money (and thus induce them to pay for more polling)?

That's exactly what it is. It's tokenism to try to appeal to people that no effort has gone into understanding. The wonkiest solution to the perception that The Left needs to be propitiated.

It's a bad idea, but I think it's a bit dodgy to call it pandering. It's a bad idea because you're using one person of a certain identity to represent a whole identity, and as anyone running for President really ought to know, political rhetoric aside, you can't represent 100% of a group 100% of the time.

Like if her young transgender advisor is Blaire White, then what's the loving point.


This guy does a really good impression of old TDS, but the video is longer than most LWT main segments. He needs to learn to speed it up, because you don't need to come up with three different ways of saying that Pete is inoffensive to boomers to get to the part where he's a fraud.

It's pandering because it's a nice-sounding promise that in effect would be completely and utterly meaningless. Because as you note it rests on the assumption that one person can speak for a whole minority, and in addition to that who do you think will decide who exactly said young transgender person will be? Why, Elizabeth Warren and her team of course. In other words there is absolutely no chance that someone who would say no to Warren's preferred cabinet pick would be chosen.
