Folks…

Things most Americans agree on:

Groceries cost too much.

Tariffs suck and make no sense.

Congress and Presidents shouldn’t trade stocks.

The debt is a mess.

The border should be secure, but legal immigration is good.

Endless wars are stupid, especially ones that nobody wants and have never been explained.

Americans are exhausted.

AI is like my new best friend that also might be trying to take my job, my ability to think for myself, and my humanity in the process. Yo like I love you, but WTF, but I still love you.

Diversity is actually awesome! The opposite is boring AF.

Canadians are super fucking cool.

Mexicans are chill.

Putin isn’t a good guy looking out for America’s best interest. Rocky IV and Miracle are great movies.

Good neighbors are a blessing.

Freedom of religion and coexistence without having to blow each other up is probably a good idea.

We all question, are we alone in the universe?

We all fuck up along the way.

Epstein didn’t hang himself.

The Trumps and Epstein were best friends for decades. It’s like Bert trying to tell us Ernie was just an acquaintance in the same social scene on Sesame Street back in the day.

The Cowboys suck. Go Birds!

Things we’re told to fight about:

Me.
Laptop.
Vaccines.
Transgenders in sports.
Pronouns.

That’s the joke.

@pmarca Prompts can and will be ignored. Just ask this guy that lost everything in 9 seconds when his agent deleted a production database after the agent violated specific safety rules it was configured to obey. https://t.co/oX0t31rSUh

@Geiger_Capital @jadler1969 VA voters choosing to offset what NC politicians did. Weird.

[David Sallak @D_Cell]

@MorosKostas @jadler1969 Racism apologist. “Not ideal”?!? Shame on you.

Anyone else who did this would be fired for failure to review the entire thing before sharing it.

[David Sallak @D_Cell]

@LPDonovan Nah. This is a better take. https://t.co/kjb0qmSazG

[Michael Brodkorb @mbrodkorb]

🗳️ Take: The best opportunity for Republicans to win statewide in '26 was with Gov. Walz at the top of the ticket. If Walz doesn't run, the GOP's ability to win a statewide race is more difficult. The DFL - not the GOP - should be celebrating tonight.

@chicagobars A few days? My friend is stuck in PR until Friday, that’s the earliest flight allowed in/out of PR.

@BlairKamin @chicagotribune It’s the “T Formation” play!

@daveweigel I’ll amend my comment. She’s a lawyer, so her replies are carefully parsed.
That works in a courtroom, but it’s ill-suited for social media as the modern platform to engage voters today.

Your point is compelling - agile response to tough questions requires new type of candidate.

[David Sallak @D_Cell]

@daveweigel This happens when candidates can’t speak from a genuinely felt philosophy of how they’d lead.

Instead, Harris and her Dem peers are so heavily managed by donors, consultants and polls that they struggle to respond to tough questions.

Result - her replies sound insincere, fake.

[David Sallak @D_Cell]

@LPDonovan Nobody expects “in perpetuity”. Just like any other policy, add a sunset so there’s time to come up with a better approach than the current one. Older Americans shouldn’t have to be exposed to an abrupt cost increase in healthcare, just to satisfy an arbitrary fiscal position.

[David Sallak @D_Cell]

@OKnox @tylenol This convo is proof neither of us enlisted.

However, the average undecided voter isn’t us. Those voters don’t track politics at all, and there’s no Walter Cronkite of the 21st Century informing them how to interpret our modern comms algorithm-driven world.

[David Sallak @D_Cell]

@OKnox @tylenol It’s the absence of consistency, and ability by wh to cherry-pick a post, that led to the screencap I posted. An ability to apply nuance and interpretation, in 2025, is not really possible when the info ecosystem has been broken.

@jadler1969 Use the Block feature. It’s simple. Just like here.

@ezraklein I asked my dad and his brother about living thru the killings of JFK, RFK, MLK, and Malcolm X (pause… that 4 major political killings in 4 years, astonishing).

I asked if current times remind them of the late 60s. Their reply? “Not yet.”

[David Sallak @D_Cell]

@MattGlassman312 Matt - it was normal “noise” by click chasers. They exist on all social platforms, including BlueSky. You can insist on honest debate, and block those that are not adding value to your posted article. Curation of replies on BlueSky is encouraged.

[David Sallak @D_Cell]

@LPDonovan @MattGlassman312 Matt and Liam - the arguments in the substack citing why shutdown is bad for Dems makes one massive assumption - elections in 2026 will occur. I’d bet my house that the Exec branch causes elections to not occur at all. Trump has tools to stop it - and he won’t allow it.
