Political Behavior Commentary
@pbcommentary
Focused on the behaviours that move and shape politics and in turn shape behaviours, instead of regurgitating political hx, theories, and long explanations of political events that would never have occurred without human behaviours.
So many of @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social episodes like this one exposes the superficiality of her understanding of political movements. I think she's the one who said Kristie Noem or someone like her wasn't a deep thinker. Longwell clearly has her own limits.
Ideologically aligned-what a choice of verbiage, clearly minimizing the importance of pols like Zohran being able to get in more pols who look to not only improve middle/low income lives but to increase buffer against increasing dictatorship that est Dems INCLUDING Obama has enabled for decades.
Emptywheel.com wrote multiple articles about Trump ratfuckers manipulating Hunter's laptop a few years ago, pretty much saying what Hunter's saying.
I think not enuf scrutiny is placed on those in the sexual predators environment that protect them.
I see only one reply here pointing out a @gagop.bsky.social senate candidate called ICE. As I suspected u all prom political journos/scholars also stay w/in ur silo when s/t it's lesser known accnts that have their ears to the ground.
Excellent, excellent, excellent. This makes the most sense of what's happening to Trump, really gels together the multiple disparate factors, including Trump's sudden preoccupation with death. Shout out to @reallyamerican.bsky.social whose video I came across that featured this thread.
Would it have really been a bother for u if ur post contained relevant info? Or is it that u think u needn’t bother because those of us who are unfamiliar w/these countries will find out from other posts?
The legal political reporting academic professions will be forced sooner or later to challenge publicly vociferously repeatedly SCOTUS rulings that are flimsy which are mostly issued by conservative judges, s/th that should’ve been done decades ago.
@usatoday.com article is garbage. D/N mention Target boycott. It's astounding how major media exhibits willful ignorance of the sheer economic stupidity of taking away econ power of 17% (blacks) 50% (women) 19% (Hispanic) of the population, that big biz knows the steep drop to their profits.
What gets me esp the older GOP voters is that they obviously are informed enuf to know Trump is destroying the checks/balances of the 3 branches. He rarely hid his intention of becoming a dictator after his 2020 loss. Yet, they voted for the fucking guy a third time.
THE F/U COLONOSCOPY ISN'T UNTIL 2027. Ur tweet awa @rawstory.com headline could have included that major detail. This is why I d/n follow @rawstory.com. They've done this clickbait too many times. I go on the hope that I'll catch their less deceptive stories thru those I follow.
I really Dem party would coordinate what Dems are doing in the Senate w/media appearances and on podcasts. That’s exactly what right wing media would do and have done for GOPs.
We know. He knows. His allies knows. Stop framing Trump lies/abuse w/impotent incredulity. IT ONLY HELPS HIM. Approach what he's doing by addressing how he's been successful in his abuse of power, wh/is partly his SCOTUS judges. We never made those judges pay a big price for their immunity ruling.
I call it relaying messages from one outlet to the next, from one podcast to the next, the way r-wing does it. Like passing the baton in a relay race to saturate the major/social media with our talking points. Ideas can be like virus except humans have to work to spread it unlike real viruses.
U know who were the most supportive of Hitler and propelled him to his murderous dictatorship? Small business owners. But then can u blame them for not knowing the group had record growth under Biden since Dems never regularly communicated this to voters?
At at least couple of DNC chair noms seem to comprehend the overwhelming power of r-wing media and how they so successfully manipulated avg voter's perception of Dems. Harris had ground game but Trump already had voters' ears long b4 Nov 2024.
OMFG! U learned people are as clueless about power dynamics as the @schumer.senate.gov @senatedemocrats.bsky.social @housedemocrats.bsky.social @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @nancypelosi.bsky.social, rnt u? It's amazing how incurious u r how r-wing media gave Trump/GOP all this political power.
@ebonyteach.bsky.social, they don't. These Biden to Trump voters who are mostly Latin/Black in focus group "may" not like Trump but at least he'd "doing something", after years of "watching" Dems not doing anything. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfpY...
