Propped up by MSNBS, the PodBros and Keith Edwards for months before anyone knew HS's name, wins my 1% "people's earthquake against (((AIPAC)))" Pro-Israel Wesley Bell beats Jew-hating Cori Bush by over *fifty* points? Silence. G-d save us from the horseshoe theory Left.

Some things are bigger than the obvious like Bush being thrashed in Missouri. Some voters get turned off with a daily dose of negativity and not enough talk about their pockets. He will need to fix his platform to appeal to Stevens voters watched his surrogates chase the woman down and harassed

Regardless of how one feels, Stevens got thrashed all across social media and wasn't hyped up and damn near won. Make the excuses you want to make and that's fine but that's a red flag for folks who support AES. No, it wasn't AIPAC that made this race close.

He appeared not only with Piker but Linda Sarsour. Every Republican ad is completely foreseeable. All the establishment Dems will have to provide cover for him now.

I’m never not fascinated to see people talk about living without AI like it’s clean water or electricity, and not just… how we were all living 4 years ago. I’m not even caught up on my *podcasts* from 4 years ago.

Just once I'd like to see leftists respond to a Democratic primary victory by actually reaching out to their opponent's supporters instead of trying to bully them into falling in line because they have nowhere else to go. Maybe it'll happen this time. So far, my replies have not been encouraging.

Air quality. I grew up in the Los Angeles basin in the 70s and 80s and remember having to stay inside because the smog was so bad - Stage 2 smog alerts, they were called. Apparently they haven't had one of those since 1988. Haven't had a stage one smog alert since 2003.

Food, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.

air travel is one of those experiences that has gotten monotonically worse over my entire lifetime

question though: has *anything* in the last 40+ years genuinely gotten *better*?

like, there's *more* stuff, sure, but is any of it *better*?

Its also doubly ugly as it is using the white woman tools of white supremacy. Accusations of horrors by white women get non-white people in this country murdered. That you feel so comfortable lying in a way that falls under the umbrella of stochastic terrorism... 😬😬😬

It is an attempt to silence criticism and move goalposts by reversing the order of victim and attacker. DARVO. Now they can dodge admitting they were wrong (as the person I'm writing this about did) by hammering on the other person being some kinda evil.
