this tweet has the best angled video i've seen though i'm having trouble hearing the audio with no headset. he and suspenders are just crossing the metaphorical aisle via goofing off - surely no one will deliberately misinterpret it by using the still out of context.

Kamala campaign just trolling now. They pinned this to their tweeter and it's literally just an upload of the entire debate

swiftie update

apparently a horrible rabbit hole

also, most importantly:

you know what else is a weird thing to say?

I think primary debates are about swaying, but general election debates are more about justifying voting to your designated base

Donald Trump showed up in the spin room, it's possible my reaction was underselling how bad he did.

the swifties have been activated

The Harris campaign thinks it was a win, they want a round 2

I think she met the bar in introducing herself and setting up bait for Trump. Very adequate. He struggled to the extent that he kept losing his stride due to real-time fact checking on the most plainly obvious stuff, and also falling for the bait. I don't think it will move the needle much, but will probably if anything lock in slim Harris leads in the bulk of the swing states and isolate the race into those couple of swing states (PA/NC/GA). That being said, some of the stupid shit he said could go viral so who knows.

happy birthday @Still Me! your gift is to show us cat pics

he got pretty triggered when she called him weak and a dictator kiss-up, but they went to commercial so she couldn't gloat after his rant

... apparently the end reward is a donphan of all things so I think i was cheated either way

yo i am one raid short of completing the 'shared skies timed research part 3' that ends in four hours and when i was picking up dinner I burned my last remote raid pass to solo a 3-star garbador. it was a photo finish, it said I ran out of time and I didn't get the challenge, but when I went back in to redo it jumped me to the catch screen as if I beat it so I could retry. then I pull in the driveway, look at my phone, and a one-star pops at the park down the street now that i'm outta passes.

I wouldn't say they're "learning how" - it's a tad paternalistic. Rather they've decided not to be beholden to their allies' red lines.

Keep in mind that after Romney lost in 2012, the autopsy report indicated the party needed to broaden its base to continue competing and the 2016 reflex was to double down on the existing base to the exclusion of all others.
