For some reason, I'm suddenly recalling how all of MAGA has been claiming that Biden's pardons don't count because they were done by "autopen" meaning he didn't really know about them or approve them. Not sure why I'm suddenly thinking about that, but it just sprang to mind. RE:

But, but, but someone on this platform here today was just telling me that if the mainstream media doesn't like a candidate, there's no way they can win, and my suggestion that they figure out how to route around the media is pure naivete. RE:

There are a large number of Democratic politicians who insist that Jonathan Haidt is a reliable narrator and one who they should take their legislative cues from. They should be asked why they're supporting someone the Heritage Foundation is cheering on in their efforts to censor the internet. https://oyster.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:cak4klqoj3bqgk5rj6b4f5do&cid=bafkreigampjiyhe6ruslgxbquzbvaxupzoi4ixro4ifg2lvjoesmkmxl2a

What a game. What a freaking series.
The load bearing phrase here is "were seen as." Biden/Harris were not far left at all. But MAGA painted them as communists, and the media played along. But, worse, the Democrats had no real compelling narrative to counter that. They let everyone else set the frame, even though it was false. RE:
