Consequences and criticism are done. It's just cancel culture out to get you.

The Jacobin study seems insight only to people that don't pay attention to elections or think it says more than it actually does
Warning Democrats not to do things they already don't do
But being like Sherrod Brown seems like great advice. Been saying that for a while

I blame Democrats for this. If they paid cops more and fired liberal teachers the GOP woudn't have a reason to gerrymander

the polling says the opposite
Donald Trump extreme ideas are about immigration,
and from the poling the public became more friendly to immigration not less.
what republicans say is they like his normal republican ideas, low taxes for the rich
republican judges they like, but his extreme policies Muslims bans child separation
ect they don't like
Donald trump is advancing extreme ideas and losing voters,
that is evidence that the Overton window has not shifted right, right wing extremism is unpopular.
this just sounds like a slippery slope fallacy.
human history i don't think is evidence of anything.
right wing extremist exist in every culture across all of human history.
they don't 100% of the time convert the public to their view,
propaganda isn't magic. right wing extremists losing elections and voters
doesn't signal a shift in the Overton window.

Aw man, I hate that Boghossian is involved in this. Took a class of his in college and it was fantastic. The man offered some incredible insight into ethical issues surrounding technology. Funny how the turn tables.
Guy wasnt pushing the "free speech" limits and involving alt right figureheads into his debates or lectures, but I suppose this was pre-Alt-Right days. Still dont agree he got a fair shake at PSU but the guy is diving right into the Joe Rogan playbook now. Sad

The only person in modern history to get more votes than Donald Trump in 2020, is Joe Biden in 2020
Trump acting like a loon for 4 years, and more people voted for him over 2016

i mean yes you also unprecedented voter access with the pandemic
donald trump also pretty much de emphasized his immigration messaging in an effort to win latinos.
you could argue his message became less right wing extremist not more over the last 4 years.
so has the overton window really shifted right if felt he needed to chill out on some of his rhetoric to win? id say no.

Did it really? That dude is a once in a lifetime politician, unique politician. And even so, the backlash to him…is why we’re in the position we are today.
And the Jacobin types hate him today too
.What’s going to happen is the Democrats alienate their Black voting base. And it’s happening. Happened with Obama too.

black voters are more working class and more culturally conservative
so i don't understand how modulating the message to appeal to working class voters would alienate the black voting base.
i don't think you need to be a once in a lifetime politician.
I do think being black helps tho. that's why i've always said Kamala should just be a cop instead of a pretend progressive.

you should blame them,
gerrymandering didn't fall out of the sky, down ballot loses and erosion of rural support
let republican take control of the maps when super efficient mathematical gerry manders became possible.
you can focus on crying about mean ol republicans gerrymandering boo hoo,
or you can figure what you need to do to win.

I'm honestly not sure what to say to this. So congrats for that I guess.
