President Xi, if you want to send me oodles of money to primary Adam Schiff I won’t say no.

uncommitted withheld their votes for specific and well-founded policy reasons ultimately revealed to have been morally and technically correct. stevens voters are going to withhold their votes out of spite and gutter racism

Trying to explain to a neoliberal why AIPAC and DMFI dominate conversations around elections they massively contribute to influencing: imagine if Friends of the Chinese Communist Party was spending $30,000,000 backing primary opponents of Elissa Slotkin or Adam Schiff.

The media's takeaway from an El-Sayed win is the same as it would have been from a Stevens win, and the same as it will be if El-Sayed wins the general, or if he loses it: everyone, no matter who they are, needs to take several steps to the right.

maybe they're right but there really isn't any reason to believe that "moderates" - as defined by DC conventional wisdom - have an advantage in these places. And if lefty candidates do win they'll chalk it up to a "wave" - correctly, somewhat, but when moderates win in waves they are geniuses

president of Center for American Progress btw

Arsenal got Bruno Guimaraes for just 75 million? Can't even buy a Senate seat for that these days.

ATTENTION TO ALL DEM TAX CUT SLOPULISTS

National identity isn't that old and there's a compelling case to be made (Imagined Communities made it) that its oldest varieties were formed in... the settler colonies of the New World; who needed to define themselves as neither Indigenous nor of the Home country but something Else.

there's a lot of people across the political spectrum who simply cannot process the fact that ethnicity is a social construct, that many ethnicities did not exist within the lifetime of living people, and that nevertheless ethnicity is an extremely real thing that ppl will kill or die for

I think it's both true that Israel is a colonial project that continues to engage in colonialism and that Israeli identity is in fact a real thing. The notion that without Israel all the Israelis would embrace their true wholesome identity as Europeans or Arabs or whatever is complete lunacy

the ragnarok lobster guy deleted all his posts about how haley stevens was gonna win. that’s how cold politics is. ragnarok lobster is abandoning you before the polls even close

this team may never lose again?

Durbinator SLAM!

You'll forgive me if I really don't want someone who thinks like this "in the tent" of the opposing fascism team.

there's a class solidarity among british journalists you don't see even in trenches. each and every british journalist truly understands the highest and final lifeform to be the british journalist

this is good but also do crime statistic knowers say this is more or less than expected under current trends, under which all crime is dropping everywhere

Democrats@democrats.org · 2d ago

HUGE: Under Mayor Mamdani, New York City just recorded its safest first 7 months of a year in history—and its safest July ever. In July: Major crime dropped 13% Murder dropped 32% Robberies dropped 15% Vehicle thefts dropped 25% Democratic mayors are putting public safety first.

MAHA do not have bipartisan concerns, they are stupid morons who what to feel special by "doing their own research" (watching youtube videos made by complete idiots) and their king is a guy who is probably, as we speak, eating deep fried chipmunks out of a brown paper bag

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez@ocasio-cortez.house.gov · 2d ago

There is pervasive corruption across our healthcare and agricultural systems that defy party lines. I meet with MAHA activists because a lot of their concerns are bipartisan issues that major corporations paint as partisan. The fight isn't left and right, it's top and bottom.

i'd say "pay attention to who has kind things to say about rod liddle, the racist pedophile, following his death" but to no surprise it is the entirety of the mainstream british press

They’re calling it one of the greatest deals ever made for $90, no one has ever made a deal this good before.

What about Subaru Uncharted knowers?

Whining about lockdowns is actually how they create false reality

Any Toyota C-HR knowers?

It's small stuff but something that might rein police in very slightly, nowhere near enough of course, would be banning cops from wearing military-style uniforms (not even talking about body armor here), earning medals, or holding military-sounding ranks. Patrolman Steve gets a plain blue shirt.

the thing about doing unprompted apologies instead of just weathering the backlash is that if they were going to sue you anyway, now they have a document you created that admits some level of wrongdoing

This is why you dont try to compromise or concede anything to these horrors

oh don't worry from what I hear publishers are absolutely out there right now demanding "the next balatro" in the form of gambling adjacent roguelikes with zero budget and expecting tens of millions of dollars in revenue
