@EScrimshaw I'm not sure "Carney is unlike Keir Starmer" is much of a criticism these days.

The reason why y’all didn’t like what Cory Booker said is he was talking to you

had the same yahoo account thru uni, work, everything and i never had a storage issue. ill never change

Wrote he should do exactly this at the beginning of the year: “In my work asking people questions, I see how people respond when leaders explain their thinking in plain language. Even skeptics become more patient and some opponents soften when they feel informed rather than managed. People are far more willing to grant room to manoeuvre when they understand the destination… …The irony with Prime Minister Carney is that the very discipline that defined his earlier career must now be balanced with something messier: Emotional literacy, lots of repetition, and a willingness to explain the obvious. Public opinion is not a constraint to work around. It is the terrain on which governing happens. If Mark Carney can make that shift, from resisting public opinion to respecting it, I think he can turn his seriousness into lasting authority.” I think weaving in some visuals, charts, graphs would be helpful as well.

and lets not ignore the fact that he is most passionate and engaged when he is being a dick. he enjoys that shit

i think conservatives are delusional if they think that pierre can lead them out of the current rut they are in. he has so many personality transplants only to revert to being a dick, whereas carney has been consistently the same.

lmao. conservatives are being conservative. claiming carney has made numerous lies in a video only to then use points not remotely mentioned in the video requires some special kind of devotion to foolishness. may they never change 🙏

There are many measuring sticks to compare Carney to Poilievre. A big one for me: Listening to Poilievre, Scheer, Rempel, Lantsman et al lying, rage farming, and non stop character assassination is f**king exhausting. Carney’s decency is a breath of fresh air.

Wid inflation you might haffi gi dem Lasco or Kendel.

for all of kamala's failing, one thing that was clear from her 107 days is that she is good at building lasting relationships.

VP @KamalaHarris at Power Rising 2026 in Chicago: “Whether I was Vice President or Kamala from around the block, I want to serve. I was just speaking with Congresswoman @AOC, about spending time just listening to folks. I’m not asking anybody for anything, I’m just here to listen.”

lmao

During the Global Financial Crisis, when there was a real risk of panic, I developed a practice called ‘forward guidance.’ The situation we find ourselves in today demands the same. Watch the full video on YouTube: youtu.be/uk2TZwkhi4E

Still don’t understand why some Republican pollsters can’t even drop the “Democrat Party” schtick in their polls. It’s a dead giveaway of which side is sponsoring it, and can bias the results!

I don't know who can lead the Tories to an election win. Someone will...but it's not going to be Pierre Poilievre. I'm tuning him out now. He's not a serious person and despite occasionally showing excellent communication skills, he always reverts to his old self. /1

by this logic lol the media is trying to tell conservatives what the problem is, but they don't wanna hear that

If Conservative MPs continue to talk about floor crossing as “dirty deals” then they need to issue a policy indicating they will now never accept a floor crosser. Seems pretty simple. You’re either for it or against it and they’ve definitely been pro floor crossing in the past.

Stanford paid 35,000 people to quit Facebook and Instagram for 6 weeks Depression dropped. Anxiety dropped. Happiness went up. Women under 25 on Instagram saw the biggest gains That was 6 weeks. I'm going a full year.

Ok. I guess we’re re-litigating the drama of the 2016 Dem Primaries so let’s unpack it. Bit of a read but I challenge anyone to tell me anything I get wrong: The DNC behaved unethically during that race. They were supposed to operate the primaries neutrally according to their own party rules and the internal emails showed a bias for Hillary and efforts to help her campaign when Bernie was still in the race. There were resignations. It caused chaos at the convention. Not great! But Hillary did not need the DNC’s help. She effectively had the nomination locked by Super Tuesday, which was on March 1st. All of the more controversial leaked emails were from May 2016 and beyond. Again, this was two months after Bernie’s path was sealed off. DNC officials did not hide their contempt for Bernie in those emails but their frustration wasn’t entirely unjustified, not that this excuses their breach of the rules. Bernie decided to stay in the race past Super Tuesday because he wanted to push her platform left. Him staying in longer meant less time, money, and resources devoted to campaigning against Trump. He’d never admit it publicly, but I wonder if he privately regrets his decision. You could say he was operating under the assumption that Trump would get whooped, but his decision to stay in definitely weakened Hillary’s campaign. And Trump was showing signs of competitiveness well before Bernie eventually tapped out. The media has a major role in all of this as well. They played up a horse race narrative for the Dem Primaries because a race that’s effectively over won’t drive as many viewers and clicks. So they talked about Bernie as though he still had a shot well past the point when he actually did, and this galvanized his supporters into believing that. But victory for Bernie was a mirage. He performed horribly with black and Hispanic voters and that alone was enough to seal the deal for Hillary. And the way the media reported on the emails didn’t help things either. You had all of these emails dated well after Bernie had no path, yet the media was presenting them as though these were conversations about how to prevent him from winning. They were well past the point of having to worry about that. So was there foul play from the DNC? Yes. Did any of this foul play prevent Bernie from winning? Nope. Was all of the foul play from that primary from the DNC? Nope. Bernie’s staffers inappropriately accessed Hillary’s campaign data after a temporary glitch left it vulnerable in late 2015. Somebody got fired over it. That’s not great either. All of the arguments that Bernie would have won were it not for the DNC are…bad. Remove super delegates entirely and he still loses decisively. Brazile sent Hillary’s campaign two town hall questions in advance…about drinking water in Flint and the death penalty. It’s bad, but there is a 0% chance Hillary hadn’t already prepared for those questions. All of the favoritism on display in those emails was in the context of the race being effectively over at the time. People claim that the DNC admitted to stealing it from Bernie in court but this is just straight up not correct. So yeah, they helped Hillary out in 2016. But Sanders did not build a winning coalition with his campaign, and Hillary did not need their help. There is no path to the Democratic Party nomination without black voters and they preferred Hillary by an enormous margin. All the rest is just noise.
