    Since public intellectual is actually an important job/income source, I guess I should do one of those "here's some stuff I wrote in 2018" things?

    MSNBC didn't take Warren's comments live, but is now recounting the results of the 2016 Iowa caucuses...

    This was extremely infuriating, particularly since there was no news to report whatsoever. I would really like to hear an explanation for this.

    And that I can watch the speech on the internets is not the point here!

    The Iowa caucuses are sort of the worst combination of party elite selection and democratic election

    If you missed Warren's speech cuz you're asleep or cuz your network didn't carry it (?!?), I recommend watching it here

    Personally, I would rather hear Warren than hear five talking heads repeat the same stuff they’ve been saying for 90 minutes

    And while this may just seem snarky there's actually a serious point here. One critical thing nomination contests should do is produce results that most supporters of all candidates can consider legitimate. The Iowa caucuses fail at this in a myriad of ways

    Sure the stupid Iowa caucuses are exclusionary and undemixratic but at least they produce quick, reliable results

    We should consider the possibility that the Iowa Caucuses are stupid.

    This. Cynicism and despair are enormously beneficial to reactionary forces.

    many of the 76 men who wrote the south carolina constitution of 1868 had just been emancipated from slavery a few years earlier. some were barely literate. the constitution they wrote guaranteed public education, abolished race discrimination, and gave rights to women.

    It's tentatively beginning to look like my initial strong assumption that Biden was not going to hold up was justified and if so sweeeet

    I think the "we need a system that inflates the prospect of the darkhorse" is a function of journalism-brain pundit fallacy. Because it's good for their profession, they assume it's good as a general matter. As with so many things, of course, that's not how it works.

    This is packaged and framed up as a story of two big egos colliding but the narrative is just about Andrew Cuomo being an asshole until the highly competent MTA chief got sick of dealing with him

    And wait till you hear about complimenting the FEMA director (picked for being the best guy to appoint from the International Arabian Horse Association) after drowning a US metropolis. Also lying the country into war. It was truly the zaniest administration!

    Iowa caucus incredibly undemocratic: -No absentee voting or secret ballot -1000s with disabilities can’t participate -40,000 with past felony convictions barred from voting -Rural counties get more delegates than urban ones This is not good way to choose party nominee

    And after passing on Mahomes/Watson blew a second pick in the same draft on Notre Dame's answer to Christian Hackenberg. Whatever produced that series of decisions, it wasn't "analytics"
