    1. The Substack of Boba Fett‏ @agraybee 27 Sep 2019

      Jeet Heer has mastered the art of confidently using pretentious words he doesn't understand, knowing that most people will be too intimidated to challenge him and risk looking stupid. But some of us know what gestalt means, and that ain't it.

      It's very normal and not at all a pretentious torture of language to say "Clintonian-Obamamite gestalt" when you mean "the democratic party"pic.twitter.com/pPdmrs0pKm

      Lots of Democrats are outside the Clinton-Obama worldview.

      Which is why "gestalt" is more than the some of its parts, aka, a political party. You're proving you actually don't know what the words mean

      Your assumption is that gestalt means the same as political party & that the Clintonian-Obamanite gestalt is coterminous with the Democratic Party. Both assumptions are false. .

          My point is that your usage of gestalt here is functionally indistinguishable from political party and it’s silly to insist it means something else without elaborating

          Your argument is that the Center-left consensus that’s held together the Democratic Party isnt sustainable anymore because of things that have happened, like a fascist American President and people shifting left. It’s a very conventional, hard to dispute argument. But that’s it

          I think Jeety Pie is hiding behind high falutin language to mask that there isn't much of a Clinton Obama continuity considering it spanned a generation and 4 major cultural shifts I can name off the top of my head
