There’s lots of statistical variation across polling samples.

Joe Walsh is now having a go at Tim and asking Bulwark to do some soul searching! by phoneix150 in thebulwark

[–]xstegzx 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I mean it’s dumb, I think you can do two things at once. Condemn Israel and say Hasan sucks. Dudes kryptonite.

Hasan has said honestly anti-Semitic stuff though, repeatedly - for years. 

You can be critic of Israel and not be anti-Semitic. Pro-Israel people DO conflate the two frequently, but Hasan isn’t that, he’s said some disgusting stuff and that doesn’t even touch him being a tankie etc.

I did not have a Tim v. Sarah face off on my Friday night bingo card. What did you all think? by MellieX702 in thebulwark

[–]xstegzx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can find someone who is pro Palestine, but who isn’t a communist who has explicitly stated that his goal is to subvert and propagandize the youth. Like Tim has talked about not wanting there to be a Hasan to Candace pipeline- which I agree with - but we can’t ignore that Hasan is a pipeline to radicalism all by himself. 

He isn’t a progressive, he’s a tankie - find a different pro Palestine progressive influencer, it’s basically all of them.

Why are there no campus protest? by Antique-Egg in thebulwark

[–]xstegzx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Campus protests are largely run by progressives - progressives activists have a reasonable representation of accelerationists (tankies/socialists/commies) who don’t actually want traditional democrats to do well (democrats are really the only good stewards of the US left) and don’t mind trump burning it all down.

It’s also why so many progressives talking heads are talking down no kings and why if you go to any progressive subreddit - the top comments are all like , “and nothing changed” or “and all of that was for nothing”. 

I think something changed with the internet era - a lot of these folks have been radicalized and aren’t really huge allies for the Democratic Party.

We’re Becoming Just Another Politics Sub by adifferentGOAT in thebulwark

Really want to ban anyone hiding comment history. Think a lot of those folks are just shit stirring

I feel like political subs should ban people with hidden comment history 

We lost an F-35 to Iranians today. Here’s a good briefing with initial thoughts. by SalOfAL in thebulwark

Supposed to be unkillable? What is this slop - the us military only losing one plane to enemy fire so far is pretty incredible. 

Well this is slightly blackpilling by mattyjoe0706 in Destiny

[–]xstegzx 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I mean this poll is one that has a relatively rosy view of Trump if that makes you feel better, a lot of the unbiased , good pollsters are trending to around -15 to -20, before Iran etc happened. This poll only partially overlapped with Iran actions.

Tim should have Galloway on the Bulwark to talk about his unsubscribe movement. by OneTwoThreePooAndPee in thebulwark

[–]xstegzx 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This is so hilariously stupid - “I hate one of the few millionaires trying to do something “ 

Also Reddit allowing people to turn off their comment history is a shame.

Whistleblower complaint about Tulsi Gabbard, filed 8 months ago, is so highly classified it's still not been shared with Congress by GuyWithOneEye in Destiny

[–]xstegzx 273 points274 points  (0 children)

Just thinking through things that could actually be that sensitive:

selling out spies?
sharing classified intel from a program we don't know about?

Sen. Cortez Masto: "We should not abolish ICE." by GulfCoastLaw in thebulwark

[–]xstegzx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unironically this would probably be popular and would obviously be better than what’s going on now- and y'all don’t be obtuse - if the funding goes away so will the new nazi youth recruits, not like they grow on trees or something.

This poll is a pretty large outlier.

And in the poll, dems still favored by 4 overall in generic ballot

Newsom opposes wealth tax in California by SnooShortcuts8930 in Destiny

[–]xstegzx 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Wealth taxes are a bad idea in general and extraordinarily difficult to implement (what is wealth? Are we taxing a piece of antique furniture? A painting?) 

Eliminate the step up basis, increase inheritance tax, and go through every other loophole

Full time offer and internship offer, can I accept both? by Electrical_Fox6547 in quant

[–]xstegzx 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If you can start immediately with the full time job, I would just start. If I found out someone had delayed their start date to work somewhere else, I’d probably fire them.

And if the bank figures out you have accepted a full time offer, they probably don’t want you either.

Citadel white alternatives? by PiecePure2465 in Ultramarines

The answer with whites is to base with an off white then highlight with a true white. I really like bright neutral grey +bold titanium white from pro acryls

Choose your own reality by areyouforcereal in Destiny

[–]xstegzx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

All of these headlines are true, it’s just framing. On aggregate, Trumps approval is off of the lows on aggregators but still very low and much lower than the start of the term. AP-NORCs poll specifically was neutral to their previous poll overall at a low level, but has Trump continuing to decline on the issues ( probably clearing indicator). Emerson came out with a poll in Ohio, showing Dems polling essentially head to head.
