2020 Democratic presidential primary

Like, that's not a 'bullshit' article, that's a disagreement about details. And Sirota wrote his last article for Capital and Main in february.

Ok fair enough, apparently the implication was meant to be that Sirota was writing speeches for Sanders back in December, which was wrong. It was never an implication I took from the original article, though. I just thought it was shitty of Sanders to hire an idiot like Sirota.

Anyway, here's another helpful reminder on another subjecf

8 of 10 Sanders supporters would be enthusiastic of Warren becomes the nominee.

8 of 10 Warren supporters said the same about Bernie.

The other 2 in 10 spend all day in my mentions. https://t.co/XnIMymCoI3 pic.twitter.com/EHbFkiaNaa

I see tweets about Sirota now and then, mostly because Sirota is an idiot who can't stop saying and doing idiotic things

it's clear that most of us don't know what Sirota's faults are. Can you summarize plz

idiot/asshole or not, Sanders' speeches have been better this cycle

oh hey it's here, though it's uncharacteristically light on details

Elizabeth supports Medicare for All, which would provide all Americans with a public health care program. Medicare for All is the best way to give every single person in this country a guarantee of high-quality health care. Everybody is covered. Nobody goes broke because of a medical bill. No more fighting with insurance companies.

I wish she would just tell us if she supports M4A

She supports universal injections of capitalism into your bones.

Sirota in 2012: Romney or Obama and the Supreme Court: Does it even matter? A Romney presidency isn't an automatic judicial disaster. Not if Democrats get principled and oppose his nominees https://www.salon.com/2012/11/01/romney_or_obama_and_the_supreme_court_does_it_even_matter Also, just check his twitter feed. It's whine whine whine whine whine.

This David Simon thread is pretty fun as well (though sketchy on the timeline)

Thread: A few months ago, I cited a particularly skewed take on another Democratic candidate by this fellow David Sirota, called him on his consistent habit of such, and blocked him as a faux journalist and purveyor of hype. I was then treated to foam-flecked herd....

journalism- in activism you were born, and the rest is mostly posing or betrayal

(i sorta get the difference between factual, analytic, and persuasive writing a little. it's intentional shitpost, but it's an argument i keep in mind).

excellent work, fred

david simon is a one hot album every ten year average guy

How can you possibly think that? What's his second hot album?

The Wire

Ok, fair point, but that ended 11 years ago?

But it lives on in our, etc.

heard good things about the deuce, which i haven't watched

None of The Deuce's good qualities (and there aren't many to begin with) can overcome the fact that it stars James Franco.

Also, just check his twitter feed. It's whine whine whine whine whine.

― Frederik B,

xp

AND....James Franco!

Treme and Generation Kill were also great

unperson not liking it is a good sign, i'll check it out

it seems, from afar and not paying a lot of attention, that this is essentially joe biden's candidacy. then warren's - who has most of the clinton coalition that isn't with biden already - if he becomes too embarrassing - how far he has to go for that to happen seems unsure. i would put any amount of money on this.

it will be "bernie's fault" if either of those lose to trump (biden probably would).

Treme is also Bernie's fault

Treme is George W. Bush's fault.

David Simon is a great TV writer and one of the most insufferable resistance libs alive

Lol

Sirota ok, but David Simon insufferable?

He is bad.

kinda like hmmmm let's see...

you mean like a guy who takes my joking Jay-Z reference literally and then argues with it because actually that was 11 years ago?

ONE HOT ALBUM EVERY TEN YEAR AVERAGE: THREE PINNOCHIOS

that's so laaaaaaaaaaaaame

I was saying it's unfair because his average is lower than that. It was a joke, man alive, jeez calm down and stop taking things so seriously, wtf?

I've never really understood what was meant to be Nas' second hot album, though.

one was ...ehhhh the other was illmatic

that's a one (1) hot album every ten year average

itt: "jokes"

Music Tuomas is so much better than Politics Tuomas.

or maybe Fred is Politics Geir

I've never really understood what was meant to be Nas' second hot album, though.

Illmatic was 1994.
'Takeover' came out in 2001.

And eighteen years later, he still hasn't made that second hot album. Rap beefs are weird.

well, good thing he didn't call himself Hovstradomus

I’d take It was Written over most Jay-Z albums though.

It Was Written is now considered an underrated classic!

Stillmatic was hot, God's Son did well.... overall his discography is mixed but underrated by ppl who just parrot opinions and don't bother to listen

I dug Life is Good

alright insult bernie all you want but “it was written” is a hot album

God's Son >>> IWW
