People are no longer free to share this on Zuckerberg's fascist app. He's taking it down.
Thankful for COSO! Here is a very complete American Autocracy Threat Tracker.

The right has stolen our flag and perverted its meaning. Now they're trying to claim credit for bills that fund infrastructure projects in their districts that they themselves voted against. They mimic the soul of the man who leads them.

Lies, damn lies, and statistics, then way over there are polls. All polls are Not Even Wrong. They are less than meaningless, they do harm. By soaking up media attention. By keeping horse race politics, front and center. By crowding out substance reporting. It is easier to count the biases in any one poll, than the lies any one politician spews.
They are the Clickbait of politics.
It is a junk science.
@redenigma brilliant!
@AnnetteTRemain the press, once again, is complicit in this nonsense.
@feloneouscat do you have a Substack where this thread could be found in its entirety? It's an important essay that I'd like to share with others not present on COSO. I kept saying YES YES YES!
@AnnetteTRemain what the hell? If you're just going to pull numbers out your butt, those numbers are as any other random numbers. God.
Smart article. Lots of questions that need to be asked.

@MarceloPaezPereda There's three and a half months left in this campaign, there is time to move polls that aren't very reliable this far out.
@Ironworker229 @Charles_Hawtrey @rpardee and NPR is on the Project 2025 hitlist. You'd think that they'd take that seriously?
@Charles_Hawtrey like this is some stupid game or tournament just to keep their ratings up. Jerks.
@JerichoTaskerDeaux the projection with these idiots is breathtaking!

"For all the morons fixated on President Biden mixing up names tonight, answer me this:
Who is Tim Apple?
Who confused Nikki Haley with Nancy Pelosi?
Who confused Barack Obama with Joe Biden?
Were there airports during the Revolutionary War?
We can play this name confusion game all night."
~ Brooklyn Dad Defiant
Me: Hah!
@DevinY1 Joe made gaffes when he was Senator Biden - it's not a function of age at all. Joe is strongest when he takes his time and delivers clear concise answers. Debates don't allow for that time but tonight did. He was in really good form tonight. Was he perfect? No. But he doesn't have to be. He has to be better than the other guy.
This week Joe Biden met with NATO leaders and Ukraine's Zelensky. This week Donald Trump spent time with his good buddy and fellow autocrat Turkey's Viktor Orban. They share a friendship with Vlad Putin. There's a very clear difference in the company these two candidates keep.

Here's how I feel.. just my opinion but,
No one can run on the accomplished record of the last four years, except Biden. No one else can take credit for bringing down inflation with job growth at the same time, strengthening NATO et al. "Someone else" has absolutely no record to run on. How can we talk about accomplishments when "that guy" steps down. Hint* we can't. So, I'm backing the Biden/Harris ticket we voted for. We have incumbent advantage, let's keep it. 💪 #politics #election
@peeppeepcircus you mean with real thoughtful answers? Not a chance. His experience served him well.
@AnnetteTRemain the polls in Great Britain and France were clearly erroneous not to mention the red wave in 2022 that never materialized. Polls don't count everyone.
Listen to him! Go Joe!
