The Left is Turning on Itself as the Data Leans Trump
@chamath on E201:
"I think it's interesting to see that when you get into the homestretch, the losing side tends to turn on itself because they start to play protectionism for their own careers."
"And there's a lot of stuff that I think you can consume that starts to show that a lot of the tried and true, most reliable media sources that I think were trying to navigate as much as possible for a pro-Harris presidency are starting to push back in a way that I find a little surprising."
"I think the CNN town hall ... was one of those moments for me, where even people like David Axelrod a little bit throwing Kamala Harris under the bus. I didn't expect that at all."
"'Word salad city,' that's what he said last night, which was very shocking that he would say that."
@DavidSacks:
"Totally, that is throwing her under the bus, but it's also just preserving his own credibility."
@chamath:
"You can only prop up a candidate so long, and then at some point, you have to prioritize your own media career."
@friedberg:
"Like that one night when everyone turned on Biden after the debate."
"All the journalists who had been covering Biden for so long that it was obvious in their face the whole time, they suddenly have to be like, 'Okay, I guess we gotta admit now, he's not really there.'"
