The Greatest Nogard

My thoughts are too complex for journalists

@ryangrim The final defense of all conspiracy theories is “yes I was wrong but the real problem is why I believed it”

@barbarismcrit Be patient, they still haven’t grasped the concept of blowback yet

[The Greatest Nogard @Va1yrion]

@Mac_Bones1029 @Une4o I still remember when he was picked top of the 4th and everyone was worried it was an overpay

[The Greatest Nogard @Va1yrion]

@queensknight87 @upholdparenti @umichvoter @fdr_dem Gun to your head you wouldn’t bet on it, because deep down we both know that isn’t gonna happen

[The Greatest Nogard @Va1yrion]

@queensknight87 @upholdparenti @umichvoter @fdr_dem And yet one of the three isn’t returning next year, and it isn’t Omar

[The Greatest Nogard @Va1yrion]

@davidryanhenry @PollTracker2024 Yes but this isn’t occurring in isolation and there’s been countless little instances like this where she’s made her feelings about the primary a distraction

If she wholeheartedly got behind the nominee from the beginning as opposed to centering her ego this wouldn’t be a story

@KirkegaardEmil One of the questions was “why did the us enter the Vietnam war” and both “because north Vietnam attacked US ships” and “to stop the spread of communism” were options 💀

[The Greatest Nogard @Va1yrion]

@NickyFrank30 @Tobias_dH0172 @Doggocrat Like I’d say Zohran’s popularity with the constituents he’s actually trying to appease (bc he’s not doing outreach outside of NYC) is the real measure and lessons can be learned from that

But to judge the ideology you have to run local candidates and see how they do

[The Greatest Nogard @Va1yrion]

@NickyFrank30 @Tobias_dH0172 @Doggocrat I guess I just think it’s a bit junk political science when the “presenting” is largely being done in a very online and insular Twitter/political news bubble and that the average American barely knows their current representatives

[Boston Globe Pitchbot @BostonSatire]

I can’t top this

[The Greatest Nogard @Va1yrion]

@NickyFrank30 @Tobias_dH0172 @Doggocrat AOC I get it she’s the closest internal counterweight to national leadership and is almost certainly running for Pres or Senate

But Zohran is a mayor these pollsters need to chill. No one should care what someone in Plattsburgh thinks of the mayor of NYC

[The Greatest Nogard @Va1yrion]

@NickyFrank30 @Tobias_dH0172 @Doggocrat Yeah tbc the point is when you have Hochul AOC and Mamdani within the margin of error it’s hard to draw anything definitive from it

Also I have a general pet peeve of polling favorability of politicians amongst anyone besides their constituents or prospective constituents

[The Greatest Nogard @Va1yrion]

@jamesjeremyw1 @PEWilliams_ @OrganizerMemes I’ll take Mamdani every day over someone like Newsom who’s entire brand is resisting Trump and ‘debating’ Ron Desantis but when push comes to shove he pushes his AG to capitulate on the Paramount merger, or he vetoes a bill banning PE consolidation of hospitals…

Yeah I’m good

[The Greatest Nogard @Va1yrion]

@jamesjeremyw1 @PEWilliams_ @OrganizerMemes He went to try to sell Trump on a housing project that requires federal approval and $$$

Last time he went he personally raised the case of a Columbia student detained by ICE and got her released

Idgaf who Mamdani meets with I care about who and what he’s fighting for

[The Greatest Nogard @Va1yrion]

@quesoliker @treeaston @SenGillibrand Meanwhile our swing state senate candidate has to answer for every time a twitch streamer breathes the wrong way

Just a cute little oopsy though when it’s an insider

[The Greatest Nogard @Va1yrion]

@treeaston Do not you think that the assumption here (that most people decide to be politicians and then choose their values, rather than the opposite) feeds into and affirms the worst, most cynical opinions Americans have of their politicians

[The Greatest Nogard @Va1yrion]

@Quirknky Incredibly weird and telling that he assumes people choose to be politicians before they decide what their values are and what they care about
