    He’s becoming a poster boy for the “the system cannot fail, we can only fail the system” crowd. Wouldn’t be surprised if he gets a cushy sinecure position in the Democrat-adjacent universe in the near future.

      a poster boy

      I entirely agree.

      a cushy sinecure

      I don't think so. I know he's a lawyer. He must have some job where if he doesn't use swear words, he isn't vile, he isn't directly hateful - he can punch left on Twitter to his heart's content. He's snarky and sarcastic when he punches left which is not the way to punch if you want a cushy dem gig. Instead you retweet and if you actually tweet/punch yourself - you phrase things so there's enough vagueness and complexity you can say people misunderstand you and/or misquoted you. Nate Silver is a master of that.
