  • It’s important to keep in mind that everyday we all stare at the rectangles whose purpose is to show us all the terrible things occurring far and wide.

    Emotions like fear and anger are very attention grabbing so they’re prioritized by the rectangles.

    Everyone knows the odds of winning the lottery are so bad that it’s pointless to play, but people keep buying tickets. Why? Because the TV is always showing you people winning the lottery! Imagine if for every news story about a lottery winner they had to give an equal amount of time to every loser? Do you think people would still ny lottery tickets?










  • I’d say it’s actually more embarrassing than that.

    2016 he was caught by surprise that black voters in the south preferred the centrist candidate.

    2020 the same thing happened to him and he did absolutely nothing to shore up that weakness. He learned nothing. He even got lucky at the start with the field of centrists splitting the vote, but eventually they sorted their strategy out and beat him.

    Bernie just has the worst goddamn campaign instincts. I remeber hearing his campaign staff were all people who got rejected from the Obama 08 campaign, and instances where his door to door knockers would try to argue with anyone who said they weren’t voting for Bernie.

    Add in that he endorsed Graham Platner, it’s clear he just never had the juice.
