mircea_popescu: the brightest of the bright can't see past blindfolds if they were the ones who put the blindfolds on in the first place. so i'm guessing this is the end of bipartisan system, democrats go to hell in a handbasket, which drives gop to split into pro-trump and anti-trump sides, which makes us a 4-way system with the greens or whatever others being the 4/5th.

mircea_popescu: "Whoever takes over what’s left of the Democratic Party is going to have to find a way to appeal to a broader cross section of the country. It may still be true that in the long term, Republicans can’t win with their demographics, but we found out Tuesday that the long term is still pretty far away. Democrats have to win more white voters. They have to do so in a way that doesn’t erode the anti-racist or anti-sexist pla
mircea_popescu: dude in-system is a fascinating thing. so the guy from above, who does in point of fact understand the situation in the field pretty well, proceeds to reason on the basis of the facts. what's he come up with ?

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally, word around the campfire is that the tman is not so very impressed with the whole "carbon" gargle, and consequently it's likely going away. which is what drives the "scientists" in the nobel camp - they're at risk of losing about 1/3 of all public treasury leeching currently availabe ; talk of a recession in the snake oil biz.
mircea_popescu: anyway, since rihanna or j-lo or whatever her name is will do pantsuits for parties, is she also willing to entertain in a ronald mcdonald costume ?
mircea_popescu: you're telling me they're practically the establishment cocksucker, not worth a name much like the spittoon by the corner of the bar ain't worth a name ?!
mircea_popescu: you're telling me all the derpy pop starlets aren't bachs and mozarts and liszts of their own self ?!
mircea_popescu: you are now telling me that nobody gives a shit, that these ITEMS grow like mushrooms past money rain, and that if she leaves sbhe'll be forgotten in 5 minutes under a sea of nirvana-copycats ?
mircea_popescu: no really ? i thought "empty eyes what's her face" (check out the indian names lol) got worth and value in and of herself, and you know, she'll just leave and her fans will follow.
mircea_popescu: " Think of how wrong the entire national media conversation was—and yes, I contributed my fair share—about how the Republicans were being torn apart as a party."
mircea_popescu: "The ace ground game, the brilliant ad-makers, the top Hollywood talent, and the best analytics operation ever assembled? This was all a joke."
