This is horrible. But it was also horrible when they castrated and mudered Israeli Olympic athletes in 1972. I wonder how many many CD irony. Or just pretend like that didn't happen
@Angry_Staffer
They don't care about Palestine. They're terrible people. They're hurting people who need to get to work who can't call in and say I'm late because of a protest. It's entirely self-absorption
@dancluchey
I think this absolutely moves the needle. It's going to get second plays on social media. And soon the R convention starts. It was a wise setup by the team.
@chrislongview
You also need to do coalition building, and not do public shaming, which is alienating to potential allies, even though it feels good to many.
@BlueSteelDC
I believe this but I also believe that these are voters who were already likely in the R category. These are ladder pullers. I think we have many options for countering these votes. But it is a weird phenomenon.
@robinsonmeyer
This is a strange, desperate defense. Journalists listen to editors who hew to coverage plans and narratives their org chooses. And the effects of cumulative press coverage on campaigns is indisputable historically.
@nealkwatra
Not only that, but their only campaign experience was within the cocoon of an extremely special candidate. They may have experienced only one or two presidential campaigns as adults not being an insider. They have never been in touch.
@xwaldie
Katie, this is known as both sidesing. Do better. I wouldn't bother telling this to someone at the New York times but the New Yorker? I can't believe this piece was published
@jamandabop
You're only proud of a party or organization that does 100% of the things that you want? Adult life must smack you in the face on a daily basis.

@What46HasDone
I've heard this from lefties for literally decades every cycle about whatever the pet issue of the moment is. We need you less and less because we're doing better.
@DanaHoule
"Losing a generation" - colossal exaggeration and political naivete at the same time. Would be fun to see a log of how many times in the last 20 years people have said this about their pet issue.
@lxeagle17
Did anyone ever tell you about internal polling and how they are high budget and much higher quality? This is where it kind of helps to know about campaigns a bit more
@JoelWWood
And this is why Vancouver is so affordable! Seriously, people need to understand that there are going to be elite enclaves. That is never going to be stopped.
@robinsonmeyer
I can't believe it either. I've been waiting 30 years for this. And I'm just a citizen I'm not in the fight to the degree you are. Thank you for your work.
@jb_reefer
I worked in Baltimore in the '90s. It was so obvious to me that it was a potential hipster paradise. Young urbanists should be flocking there. A lot of beauty, great location
@DanaHoule
What the online left activists also don't see is that these events are splintering the left. They are weakening, not broadening their coalition. Which they don't even see as a coalition. So it's more of the same fantasies of vengeance and acceleration.
@BlueSteelDC
People should try watching some speeches by Eisenhower, Nixon or Truman. None of them were charismatic hip younger superstars. Each won reelection. Some have compared Biden to Truman. I'm too young but sounds about right.
@magi_jay
It's clear now this is donor driven. I think there is strength for many battles, but with enough time in between - but don't anger ones best allies
@DanaHoule
Other than pro sports coaches, are there any other professions where there are so many unqualified people who are certain they can do the job??
@BlueSteelDC
Polling is demonstrably flawed and polling in general has been poor about 4 years. There's also a long history of July presidential polls being wrong.
@What46HasDone
The winnability of this race actually hasn't changed, even now, which surprises me a little. I thought it would take a few weeks to get back to baseline. We're still there. Let the games begin
@magi_jay
She would have won if not for Russia and James Comey. After the second comey letter, their internal polls showed a collapse. It really was going OK until then
@opinonhaver
Everyone I know is completely fine with him. Nobody thinks he's some kind of ethical giant or savior. He's a solid democrat and a competent administrator
@magi_jay
Agree with everything above but also, the left believes anti-israel sentiment is a potent club to wield against the USA and capitalism. They really believe it's an effective tactic.
@LetTheBirdDie
@Angry_Staffer
He needed to be taller, yet shorter. Thinner yet fatter. Strong yet vulnerable. Wide and also narrow. He didn't meet the moment.
@WaywardWinifred
Yes, because it has been proven that rallies are incredibly effective. Also they definitively indicate support. Yeah this can't possibly be wrong. Rally the people! Rally.
@magi_jay
By far the biggest reason it is this close is because the media is a failure. Also, we expect too much rationality, too much intellectual discipline on the part of fellow humans.
@What46HasDone
Strange how they never win politically or achieve in the court of public opinion. Really the fact that they keep on doing what they do is for justice.
@magi_jay
It is unappreciated how difficult it is to beat an incumbent president. The lack of canvassing was a huge minus for us. And we get it back this year
@David_Quinones
This account 110 percent must believe in accelerationism, therefore is colossally naive about life and the world, just has to be. Viva la revolucion!
@BlueSteelDC
It feels good to them. They can tell themselves that they are doing something. Strategy never enters their minds. They will take credit for anything that happens afterward.
@magi_jay
It's hard to deal with people who believe that optimal outcomes are always possible, especially if enough political will is applied. It's a misunderstanding of the flawed nature of humanity.
@sahilkapur
@SimonWDC
@brianschatz
Gee, maybe because the polling is done on the cheap and is reaching mostly non-voters? Can anyone do the least bit of analysis here?
@RonBrownstein
@CBSNewsPoll
@24
There is no way there has been that much movement of black voters. They're struggling to get adequate sample sizes so they're reaching too many non-voters
@GregTSargent
@SimonWDC
Simon avoids the cheapness of public polling argument, which is powerful. It has become too expensive to properly conduct polls without spending big. Media companies never do. Campaigns do.
@magi_jay
Will go out on a Twitter limb and say that Biden is historically accomplished. It's not hip to say that's a politician is great. If he gets a trifecta one more time he will surpass FDR
@IsaacDovere
He ran into that fire and rescued nine babies. But that is not enough. He still has to prove that he is not afraid of the heat. It will take weeks or months and I may not be satisfied even then.
@agraybee
At some point someone will do a desantis over Biden poll. And that poll will get insane coverage. Even if it's surrounded by a dozen other polls with a different result
@AlexThomp
@KATUNews
She's pretty clumsy at appealing to the large number of Republicans in her district. Bad gamble by her but whatever, she's not important.
@JustinWolfers
It is known that Republicans answer the polling questions differently depending on who is in the White House. There are also issues with the high cost of quality polling, which is rarely done anymore outside of campaigns. The standard is good enough' for headlines
@maxdubler
I don't find it pretty. But those homeowners may love their homes. You need to learn to understand this. It's not about your dreams of a just society. It's about the messy reality of wide range of views.
@BeelkJ2413
@magi_jay
I think not easy really understates it. Brutally difficult and colossally expensive, requiring near infinitely deep pockets is more like it. Not even mentioning the legal and scotus unknowns. Which are disqualifiers in themselves in my opinion
