Gm, election is over! No big surprises last night as both polling and prediction markets showed deep weakness from Harris and Dems who mostly reran the Biden 2020 playbook and tried to pivot to the right to peel off R support from suburban white voters. Win was clear, and Dems (as flawed as the party is) won’t be marching into the capital or appealing to Harris to block transfer of power. Both parties face what I see as an identity crisis. Dems have a fractured coalition, and no clear leadership. R’s have notched up serious wins under Trump but mostly via executive power & the courts, they face increasing tension between what the party was and where the base is Discourse more divided than ever, its a capital and information game Significant wins for crypto! A historic victory for a special interest lobbying effort, big impact for us all Politics is a process, elections feel most important (see: elated fanboys and depressed moms) but campaigning != governing, much more madness ahead

Don’t count the destructive Dems and their penchant for burning cities down out so early.

I'd bet on it, if you're interested. the dominant dem identity (more centrist liberalism) is really aligned with process and order. Even russiagate, which got quite conspiratorial at times, also played out through very specific channels (justice dept. investigations, times opeds, msnbc nightly briefings, congressional hearings. dem party has also spent a year working with republicans against a popular mass protest movement. complicated moment in our national politics, but yeah lmk if you want to take a bet on it

Kevin klinesmith lost his job at the fbi for defrauding the FISA court which was the basis of Russiagate… that’s what you refer to as process and order?? https://www.justice.gov/usao-ct/pr/fbi-attorney-admits-altering-email-used-fisa-application-during-crossfire-hurricane

Lying to the secret court for political purposes isn’t a great example of process and order. In fact opponents of fisa warned of this very same issue.

i think you're misunderstanding my point - I'm not making any argument about russiagate, i'm referencing where the battle played out. but I've already spent too much time this am talking shop about america's obsession gotta build this clanker
