The only take that matters: To win in 2020, Democrats need a nominee who agrees with all of my preferences on policy and rhetorical style.

    In all seriousness, the Northern Cities Vowel shift occurs right in America’s key swing region and I legitimately think a Shifter could have a key electoral college edge.

    I personally think the time has come for a Northern Cities Vowel Shifter to sit in the Oval Office and hope Tammy Baldwin will run.

    On one level that’s fine, politicians are allowed to have narrow but intense disagreements with co-partisans who they mostly like and admire. But the tone really is “blistering” even as the content of the critique is extremely mild.

    What’s notable to me about the Romney op-ed is how *narrow* the criticism of Trump is even by the standards of critiques grounded in conservative ideological orthodoxy — he puts the trade war with China in the praiseworthy column for example.

    Incredibly terrible policy toward Latin America is the through-line of all the GOP administrations from McKinley to Ike to Reagan to Trump.

    Congratulations to Brazil’s new President Bolsonaro. It’s great to have another U.S.-friendly leader in South America, who will join the fight against dictatorships in Venezuela and Cuba, and who clearly understands the danger of China’s expanding influence in the region.

    If only someone had made a bot that exposed these sorts of impostor trolls. Oh wait, we did, and then Twitter killed it:

    I'm gonna do a big thread of Trump fans on twitter pretending to be black folks and hot women. Send me examples if you have them!

    Cool map from De Leon challenged Feinstein from the left, but his basic constituency was “people who don’t like Dianne Feinstein” which turned out to mostly be Republicans.

    Transcranial magnetic stimulation worked pretty well for me.

    Also, if you have had ECT for depression (good or bad response) that would be amazing to share, but there’s still a lot of stigma so feel free to just chime in silently in your head.

    Staffing decisions are one of the most important things a president does even though it tends not to be explicitly debated during the primaries.

    Year-end applause to and for independence of mind, concern with evidence, and (very important) wit & sense of humor.
