This is probably the best defense of the polls: multi-way races are hard because voters are actually quite rational and tactical, so when a multi-way race becomes a de facto 2-way race, things can shift extremely quickly.

just a friendly reminder that republicans have a trifecta and could pass a federal ban on gerrymandering *tomorrow* if they wanted to.

but they don’t want to. they want to rig the system. and then they turn around and throw a temper tantrum when Dems fight back

Shapiro is touching on a consequential blind spot for many Democrats. If people watch trillion-dollar programs getting passed and don't see deliverables on those promises several years later, they will become more skeptical when they hear the next sales pitch.

The media industrial complex would have collapsed on itself like a dying star if a Democratic president held a Roaring 20s themed party at a private golf club while millions of working poor in America were about to lose access to food aid but w/Trump it's fucking crickets.

Streameast — the world’s largest illegal sports streaming platform — has been shut down after a year-long investigation, per @AdamLeventhal.

@lxeagle17 i’ve gained serious respect for newsom over the last couple weeks but the ads on french laundry would be absolutely terrible and effective

[Cameron 🇺🇸 🗽🦅 @CameronCorduroy]

the fundamental asymmetry in American politics is that Democrats are punished for acting like Republicans

people still cry about the "deplorables" thing almost a decade later but will call the most populous places in America "shitholes" on a weekly basis

Can't ban gerrymandering if you're gerrymandered out of ever having the power to ban gerrymandering.

[Chris Hayes @chrislhayes]

Twenty years ago the GOP stood for huge tax cuts for the rich and wars of choice in the middle east, but then Donald Trump totally remade the party and realigned American poltiics, and now the GOP stands for...huge tax cuts for the rich and wars of choice in the middle east.

@grizzliespod if we wanted to trade VWJ, GG, or Jaylen Wells, which one would you trade, keeping in mind their trade value? i'd assume it'd go Jaylen, GG, VWJ from most valuable to least

[Eric Maddigan @ericfrmadd]

@OrganizerMemes i like him but he should spend the next 2 years locked up in media training bc his veepstakes interviews were AWFUL

[Everything Price Sufferer (but especially eggs) @agraybee]

This is the asymmetry that has made messaging almost impossible: Trump isn't responsible for what comes out of his mouth, Democrats are responsible for whatever the twitter person you hate the most says.
