It doesn’t matter for right-wing elite.

Nah. Just the parts about slaves being obedient to their masters.

They care enough to do things like buy properties in cooler countries so they can move to them after making Saudi Arabia uninhabitable.

Here’s a gift link you can edit into your post so that (almost) everybody get seamless access to the article.

About the only way you could do worse is to appoint somebody who wants to get rid of the Department of Energy, but doesn’t know what it is, and can’t remember it’s name.

The point isn’t to take advice; it’s to push responsibility and blame onto somebody else.

If you lived in a swing state, you probably got multiple texts and phone calls from Democrats and other left-leaning groups, and very likely somebody knocking at your door too. Shifted the outcome by something like 3 percentage points.

They were talking about it before the election. I even posted a link, but people didn’t care as much.

Sure. Still means that a ton of Americans were trying to figure out what it meant the day after the election. Which is a day later than they needed to.

Tell me about it

Part of that might be a result of much of the population not being tuned in to factual media. The right-wing outlets do a cover-for-30-seconds approach to any bad thing Trump does.

That was always the Rolling Stone business model — talk about the bands, and throw in a side of serious political news.

They covered Project 2025 before the election, including the ties Trump’s circle has to it.

In practice, those rules made it easier to have centrist primary challenges to Democrats in congress, rather than left-wing ones.

The big thing we need to change is the media environment. Much of the US is a news desert, so people are depending on things like YouTube shorts and Xitter for their news.

A whole bunch of Sanders supporters got themselves elected to the DNC and changed the rules to make contested primaries easier. The Democratic party isn’t some static thing that we have no control over.

It’s a lot easier to reshape a political party than to dump them and start afresh.

Some states mail a sticker with the ballot.

He’d have months named after himself if he could.

Newspapers in general have been having a tough time, but the NYT is fantastically profitable. They’re basically a games, review, and recipe company with a side of news.

A union may well get their compensation up in line with industry norms

They’re asking that people stay off NYT games and cooking-related pages:

NYT Games and Cooking are BEHIND THE PICKET LINE. Please don’t play or engage with Games or Cooking content while the strike lasts!

News coverage — including election coverage — is NOT behind the picket line. It’s okay to read and share that, though the site and app may very well have problems.
