Vichyglesias?

He and @brianbeutler.bsky.social have a real Odd Couple dynamic

Yeah he just says it… because he says a lot of dumb shit truly believing that it’s novel, clever and somewhat iconoclastic.

Yes! Those who deny the GOP has become anti-democracy are fearful. They don’t really believe their both-sides rhetoric. They don’t fear anti-democratic forces on the left. They fear alienating fascists. A pro-democracy party will supplant the GOP. In the meantime, the Dems’ll keep demming & winning.

He says things that sound smart but are actually dumb.

Dude sucks. Maybe he was good in the AOL days or some crap like that. Feels like he has a lot of influential readers that read him when they were young and hip and he carries residual credit.

These guys try to play it off as 'we're the rational ones' because they don't feel anything for anyone other than themselves, but they seem to get pretty emotional when their ego is hurt.

Matty Yglesias accusing someone of empirical sloppiness is the kind of self-unawareness one usually only gets when JD Vance opens his mouth

Lmao. And be a bootlicking fascist is ofcourse not profitable for him.

Once a week or so I wonder ‘when was the last time Matt Yglesias was right about something?’

@mattyglesias.bsky.social Come say that on this site, you coward!

Prediction noted! We have a lot of experiments going right now. Maybe we compare El-Sayed's margin of victory (assuming he wins) to Roy Cooper's?

Why would he become a republican? He agrees with the left on 99% of things. 

He's also disingenuous duplicitous douchebag!

The irony of Yglesias calling anyone else’s empirical methods “incredibly sloppy.”

Man, what a nakedly bad faith reading.

He is more and more an old man yelling at clouds. Calling out attacks on our democracy is "resistance light" not maximalism. The punditocracy is self-smothering in their own word play.

words are resistance? since when?

He has to give up believing in objective reality

I'm sorry, but calling out @gelliottmorris.com work as "sloppy" is projection.

I think the reason he's so angry is because deep down he knows he has subject-matter expertise in NOTHING. Not even sandwich types.

What methodological qualifications does he have?

Is Matt Yglesias the king of both sidesing!
