I have no idea if Stevens is doing paid influence, but if she is, this seems like suboptimal execution
Found it on the site although it doesn’t have districts
this was a while ago but @waytowinus.bsky.social polled it (in like 2022, i forget exactly) and it was 53-36 in favor of inclusive language being fine. normal people dgaf. even including latinx.
anybody else following this stuff? i wish it wasn't on xitter. (it was already banned then unbanned once there)
For those familiar with yachting it’s basically this, quite simply
Seven years of careful work gathering evidence and making a clear argument… countless polls and collaborations and focus groups… and they summarize it better than we ever have. A+, with shame.
Really not feeling it this year but I put my gay-ass bunting up anyways. Happy fourth everyone.
That GDP vs house seat flips chart is giving Rexthor
Starting in the harbor is a direct hit for me. A few years ago I had a chance to sail a small boat into NY harbor. My 3am watch started just at the (extraordinarily hectic) entrance. A few glorious hours later I took one of my favorite pictures ever, an homage to Ansel Adams' Moonrise, Hernandez NM.
The Official Greatest Democratic Freedom Agenda now includes court reform
Left, from Gavin's (oddly vague) billionaire's tax proposal substack. (or maybe not so oddly) Right, me on medium in 2013. Yay for democratizing the economy. Wish we'd started then and now waited until now to even try...
Manzanar Relocation Camp. July 3rd, 1942. Dorothea Lange.
wtf?? Umm so this is the second huge warehouse fire in a week in CA. One last week was In Tracy. It was still causing a large plume the next morning, this was the view from the 5.
I don’t know if I’ll keep it up, but a thread of confident data nerd and mod blob takes like this might be fun.
850 rocks for the obama library. nearly one billion dollars. happy for him, big accomplishment, much congrats. i'm sorry, i don't want to be grumpy. but with things how they are, with everything. i just can't get my head around this. graphic via @msifry.bsky.social
Reminder, the Harris campaign stepped away from using videos with vibes like this because someone in the campaign heard Axelrod diss it on a podcast. From Rob Flaherty’s “autopsy” interview with the Bulwark:
Literally, it’s already starting with Turek. And of course the Bulwarkers are lapping it up.
I totally understand the psychology of why it's only 56 that oppose turning the front lawn of the White House into a UFC crypto scam pit, and 16 don't know. But man. That mid-50s disapproval ceiling pattern is so frustrating. What is it even going to take. navigatorresearch.org/wp-content/u...
Bahahahaha. CONFIRMED, and in the stupidest way possible!!
Nobody knows what’s in the deal, and this would funny if it was true so ofc everyone wants to share it. But maybe choose not to be manipulated by really obvious Iranian disinfo.
This, this problem is exactly why we don’t just do polling. You have to - like what commercial interests do - go far beyond polling. Ad RCTs are a great tool for this.
