Yes. Take for example "defund the police." And the Dems would be rightfully winning the border battles if the extreme voices on the left pushing for wide open borders 3-5 years ago hadn't given soundbites and fuel.

I feel seen. My take on the far left is not that it is nearly as bad as the far right these days, but it does fuel the extremists and can lead to a chicken little effect when not properly checked.

Oh, I don't disagree at all. And frankly, any major scaling back of defense right now given the rise of authoritarianism across the globe would be a mistake. Extreme isolationism at this point would increase the chances of WW3 and drag us in.

Not involved in, but we are funding multiple proxy wars.

Sup?

If they were truly stifling their opinion staff, why have the following articles run? If anything else, this has allowed their pages to show more pro-Harris editorials and drawing attention to their opinions page to read them. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/10/26/washington-post-endorses-kamala-harris-satire/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/10/25/post-editorial-board-wapo-endorsement-2024/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/10/25/washington-post-presidential-endorsement/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/10/25/post-columnist-no-endorsement-2024-trump-harris/

I feel like this is a flaw that isn't isolated to Trump.

Yes... and the dragging was going on and on about how women make this stuff up is ignorant for a ton of reasons, not the least of which that so many are getting those memories dragged up when people do that. I have zero tolerance for that, and frankly I'm in "insanity later" mode over the fact that Trump even has a ****ing chance here. Trump is a menace and the people who enable and pump up his propaganda aren't worthy of any ****ing respect at all.

Watching the goings on in Traverse City

Sorry this is getting dragged up by an ignoramus.

Eh, just use the same standard 1776 is using for Trump on his criticisms of Harris.

WaPo has three scathing op-eds on their opinion page right now, for what it's worth.

SI aggregating paywall material is fascinating.

Outrage machines can often drown out context. https://noahveltman.com/endorsements/

Every transition since 2010, it says in the article. Not exactly a long-standing norm.

LWTEC is BACK, baby!

With a blue checkmark. Probably has some bills to pay.

I have always found Newspaper endorsements to be meaningless and self-important. Good on them.

It's Krassenstein so probably BS. I really do wish there was a way to mute/block accounts in here I have muted/blocked on Twitter. Remember again. Blue checkmarks these days means they are paid for impressions not truth.

That map got fixed since yesterday. I'm in the medium blue zip code that looks like a faucet filling a bucket. There's some wealthy pockets but also a college campus.

If Kamala campaigning in Florida and Texas means they are in play, what does this mean?

They seemed perfectly okay with COVID spreading if it meant short term profit.

Leaving a job over it may be, particularly if you are involved in designing weapons that Trump could use against the American People or our allies.

I've lost sleep over this exact fact.
