- I find the @whstancil.bsky.social backlash strangely fascinating. At its core it seems to be a desperate effort by folks further to the left to avoid having a liberal (with communication skills) become the face of their movement. But, to be honest, winning was always going to require that.
- This user blocks the author of the focused post.To be perfectly honest, I think both the pro and anti stancil positions (and to be clear, I'm far closer to anti than pro, for no other reason than he has personally annoyed me) are wildly overstated and are largely contained to this specific website.
- This user blocks the author of the focused post.He simply does not have reach beyond a very small corner of internet discourse, he doesn't have the media savvy or charisma to break out of this setting. This is because he's genuinely just a really annoying person to talk to, we shouldn't let that sort of dude claim Leader of the Movement status.

- This user blocks the author of the focused post.Lmao pointing out how he’s been interviewed by a bunch of extremely online never trumpers does not exactly go against any of my points. Yes, he’s known to a niche group of writers who are already on side. I don’t see the value here.
