Happy anniversary to Joe Dante’s cult classic, “Looney Tunes Back in Action” (2003). Despite the film’s troubled production and box office underperformance, it is still the first truly faithful #LooneyTunes movie made up until The Day the Earth Blew Up and Coyote vs. ACME.

2020 was also an underperformance. Dems flipped the Senate but *narrowly* (again with significant consequences). Schumer was not held accountable for Cunningham or Gideon.

This makes me think he had this take in the barrel waiting for a dem underperformance and then said fuck it I’m dropping it anyway.
again the thing about this that is so insane, is that Jentleson is pretty clearly extrapolating from a classic social science measure for authoritarianism to political strategy/rhetoric which is COMPLETELY FUCKING INSANE
I do not think a single voter in my district, which came inside 2 points of flipping red to blue, would be won over by “hit your kids more.”

I don't have the list on hand, but this drop is from a group of heavily Republican-leaning districts, so this is expected, if not a bit of an underperformance from Sullivan

I dislike Chait as much as the next Bluesky user, but you can see the underperformance of progressive Senate candidates (El Sayed, Flanagan, Stratton, Jackson, Nixon) from the NYT swing map. There are substantive and strategic arguments against moderations, but please keep them reality-based.

Fantastic analysis:
"Neighborhoods in the heart of Texas’s Jewish communities rejected French. ... In fact, lining up the precinct results with the locations of key Jewish religious organizations shows a strong correlation between French’s underperformance and proximity to synagogues."

Voters took bigotry personally. Look at the results near synagogues.
Want to see where Texas voters broke ranks to oppose Bo French, the cowardly bigot running for railroad commissioner? Armin Thomas of Split Ticket mapped the results.

oh the centrists are still trying to argue about electability though, they've been busy going "El-Sayed only won by 7, that's actually an underperformance and therefore disqualifies him", which shows you how shameless they are
