It’s 2020. Peter Daou now has an unblemished record of backing the wrong horse.
So why does he think we should take him seriously on anything, much less the COVID19 crisis?
Apparently the stock market’s not going down the toilet today, and that’s got Peter really upset:
The stock market soaring today on the promise of potential mass death is peak ghoulish capitalism.

Next time a liberal tells you that liberals aren’t foaming at the mouth in morbid anticipation of economic collapse, show them that tweet. The stock market tanks? Trump is evil. The stock market soars? Capitalism is evil.
this cannot be a real take

It’s real, and it’s spectacular … ly awful.
Might need a fact check on this. Seems it's soaring on hopes that a relief package will pass — a relief package that will make our efforts to flatten the curve more economically sustainable and thus save lives and livelihoods. https://t.co/aBy1Y8AqHH

Actually, the stock market is soaring because we are getting close to deal which will allocate billions to save people across this country. https://t.co/uvS8Ifdl0L

For Peter to look at encouraging economic news as ghoulish is pretty damn deranged. But we’d expect nothing else from Peter Daou.
Pretty sure that this is not the reason the stock market is doing well. See, if that were the reason the stock market is rebounding, the market would have soared when coronavirus originally started killing people. Stop eating the fish tank cleaner. https://t.co/QJGrffZe9b

You need to check yourself into intensive treatment somewhere.

Peter hates when things go well while Republicans are leading. Peter is a hack. Don’t be Peter. https://t.co/EVnK4KieF9

Don’t. Be. Peter.
