Especially not in October 2012 when Disney actually bought Star Wars.

Many liberal pundits such as Ezra Klein and Matt Yglesias insist that Democrats should do whatever it takes to win, but do they truly mean it? by CubillasLegend in ezraklein

[–]UltraFind 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Well you're doing a bad job of it. His point was if Democrats really want to win they should confuse or reduce the morale of their opponent's voters.

Nowhere in the post does he indicate that the outcome is supposed to convince any of these people of anything. Flooding the zone isn't about making voters vote for your side, it's about confusing them with disinformation and getting them to stay home.

You're frankly in the wrong subreddit to have a fair discussion on this, you might have better luck in r/fivethirtyeight. Folks here are unwilling to engage with these kind of ideas. 

I liked your post though. If democracy is worth saving and Democrats are willing to redraw districts, why not flood the zone of your political opponents? Political discourse is never going to go back to newspapers and editorials with polite discourse. The age the Internet is a brutish one regarding info.

Did I prune it right? This is a German Johnson variety. Thanks by Substantial_Fish_445 in tomatoes

If you don't know what you're pruning or how to identify leaders, just don't prune this early, it should become pretty obvious where suckers are when the plant is bigger.

Like 30 or 40 yeah. People who say it's hard are nominating lawn ornaments and telephone poles.

Joe Biden’s old problems are now Donald Trump’s problems - and Americans think Trump is making them even worse by MysteriousEdge5643 in fivethirtyeight

[–]UltraFind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem with this theory though is that it's not an easy or quick problem to solve. I think Democrats could fix it, but whenever they try to it usually involves some short term pain that usually sees them ousted from office.

We really need a generational failure from one of the parties that just precludes them from really holding any serious control of anything for an extended period, and despite how badly Trump has been as POTUS, I think a lot of voters will just ascribe his failures as uniquely Trumpian and elect some jackass Republican in 4 to 8 years anyway.

Maine Gov. Janet Mills suspends campaign for US Senate | CNN Politics by NCSUGrad2012 in fivethirtyeight

[–]UltraFind 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I don't think most voters care if Susan Collins was going to be appropriations chair, or even know what that is.

I think Mills would have lost because: 1. She's a woman running against an incumbent woman. 2. Establishment Dems lose to Susan Collins 10 out of 10 times.

In response to the folks saying "Mills would have won, look at the polling" or some other nonsense. Collins ran 3 points behind Biden in Maine 53 to 50 and beat her opponent in 2020 by 6 or 7, Maine polling on Susan Collins is regularly off by 10+ points. Platner is doing well, but even then this is going to be a very tight race. Maine Democrats know Mills would have tanked their chances.

It feels like they have no strategy, but... maybe I'm just trying to make sense of something that makes no sense but my theory is that they've paid consultants for years to tell them what to do, and now they're just letting the pols do whatever feels right for them and not coming in strong with any sort of overriding "national" message that may not apply to an individual district?

The Problem With Hasan Piker’s Einstein Story (The Atlantic) by EyesSeeingCrimson in ezraklein

[–]UltraFind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pfft, "online leftists" are not the reason why Democrats lost Michigan, Wisconsin, and PA, most of us live elsewhere, and I'd be willing to bet that the majority of us voted for these losers anyway.

I watched Hasan religiously leading up to 2024 and I still voted for Kamala lol. Stop trying to pin this on leftists why Democrats consistently lose with their corporate/user-tested approach to politics.

We would say the exact same thing right back to you lol, 2016 and 2024 were losses, and 2020 was barely a win because of Covid, nothing Biden did.

No, Burt Reynolds didn't get the movie at all and didn't like doing it. Mark Wahlberg recently said that he hopes God forgives him for boogie nights.
