cassius59.bsky.social @cassius59.bsky.social · 1hHis comment was about what happens after if and when the Dems win back Congress and not really about the last couple of years. 110
cassius59.bsky.social @cassius59.bsky.social · 5hSo, he’s against legal immigration unless you’re Elon Musk. 000
cassius59.bsky.social @cassius59.bsky.social · 16hMistake for who? It embarrassed the hell out of Netanyahu and let Mamdani paint him as a war criminal publicly, once again. Are we worried about a few people who took him seriously? 230
cassius59.bsky.social @cassius59.bsky.social · 16hHe doesn’t need to. We get to do that for him. The Mayor of NYC does not need to cater to 200 clowns at a rally. 030
cassius59.bsky.social @cassius59.bsky.social · 18hMatt, there’s enough there for the “they’re eating cats and dogs” guy. 030
cassius59.bsky.social @cassius59.bsky.social · 21hHere’s the statement. www.nyc.gov/mayors-offic... He specifically blames the Israeli government (not “the Jews”) for the conduct of its war in Gaza. Call it whatever you want but most everyone hates Bibi. You’ll find that Mamdani will be quite consistent on this. 130
cassius59.bsky.social @cassius59.bsky.social · 21hLike I said, you don’t get to decide what the day is *only* about. That’s not Mamdani’s fault, it’s the fault of Hamas and Israel’s government. The scorekeepers will always find something to criticize but they shouldn’t be looking to Mamdani for validation. 120
cassius59.bsky.social @cassius59.bsky.social · 22hYou know that Hamas murdered children on October 7th right? Or were they working with the IDF too? 000
cassius59.bsky.social @cassius59.bsky.social · 23hWhy? What is he doing wrong that wouldn’t just be replicated by whoever they pick to replace him? 130
cassius59.bsky.social @cassius59.bsky.social · 23hOh, the craziest of the reactionaries don’t really care about the length and I think you know that. It’s that he equated the victims and didn’t honor 10/7 as its own separate thing. 010
cassius59.bsky.social @cassius59.bsky.social · 23hThe statement’s fine. The barbarity of October 7th will forever be connected with the barbarity that happened after that day and nothing will change that. People who are inclined to criticize will do just that. 130
cassius59.bsky.social @cassius59.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Interesting. What if Republicans gerrymander states to the point that Democrats are no longer able to win a majority and therefore “fight” against it? 000
cassius59.bsky.social @cassius59.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Criticism of Martin from the left is still mostly just blind hatred of the “DNC”. I’ve actually seen more specific criticism from establishment Dems who don’t like the way Martin is shaking things up. 010
cassius59.bsky.social @cassius59.bsky.social · 07/10/2026We really don’t need to take this too seriously. 020
cassius59.bsky.social @cassius59.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I think what you have to do is fire 10% of ICE/CBP on day one of a Dem presidency. There’s no shortage of cause. That puts pressure on the rest and instills some fear that they may lose their jobs too. Over time you turnover the whole agency or get rid of it altogether and replace it. 030
cassius59.bsky.social @cassius59.bsky.social · 07/10/2026They don’t want to have to compete against people they see as inferior. 010
cassius59.bsky.social @cassius59.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Yeah, I’d hold a few hearings over this issue and try to turn it into a scandal. 000
cassius59.bsky.social @cassius59.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Fetterman’s schtick doesn’t really work as well if he’s no longer a Democrat appearing on Fox News to whine about his party. He loves that attention. 010
cassius59.bsky.social @cassius59.bsky.social · 06/10/2026No, don’t get me wrong. That’s not what makes you deranged. It’s shoe-horning hatred for Sanders into things that are Sanders-adjacent at best. This is part of why I can’t wait until that guy retires so people won’t use him to drag down people who are earnestly trying to do politics the right way. 100
cassius59.bsky.social @cassius59.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Was that in question? He’s a Twitch streamer. About as serious as Joe Rogan. 010
cassius59.bsky.social @cassius59.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Ok, but I’m talking about how Sanders consponsored Conyers’ first M4A bill. Sanders didn’t have much to do with why “Hillarycare” failed. He was the definition of a backbencher at the time. I think Sanders kind of sucks and should retire but the derangement is tiring. 110
cassius59.bsky.social @cassius59.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Sanders was a cosponsor of HR 676 which Conyers first introduced in the 108th Congress 2003-2004. I’m sure it was a priority well before then but the constant divisiveness is tiring. Bernie, for sure, knows of Conyers history on M4A. 110
cassius59.bsky.social @cassius59.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Rahm does not seem to understand why the public wants to give Democrats power and what they expect to be done with it. 020
cassius59.bsky.social @cassius59.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Neither Alito or Thomas are unaware that Dems wouldn’t vote to confirm their replacements. 0260
cassius59.bsky.social @cassius59.bsky.social · 03/10/2026He also hasn’t proposed anything that is all that radical. 5 test grocery stores isn’t it. 010
cassius59.bsky.social @cassius59.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Dems are not exactly signaling that they’re willing to take Musk on in any signficant way. A man who has and will spend hundreds of millions of dollars in elections against them and yet expects Dems to continue to vote to enrich him at their expense. 042
cassius59.bsky.social @cassius59.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Frisco, TX is a good example of this. It’s no surprise to me that Bo French chose Indian Americans to target. It’s not about legal status, education, success, crime, assimilation, etc for people like him. 010
cassius59.bsky.social @cassius59.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Meh, this isn’t about Rodgers. They had a lot of success together. 001
cassius59.bsky.social @cassius59.bsky.social · 03/10/2026The real question is whether they could manage two. 000
cassius59.bsky.social @cassius59.bsky.social · 03/10/2026To be fair, Mike deserved to be fired for performance at least a couple seasons prior to his actual firing. 120
cassius59.bsky.social @cassius59.bsky.social · 02/10/2026All Trump wants is that sweet drugs/nuclear dust and a promise not to make any more. 000
cassius59.bsky.social @cassius59.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Ok, honestly I’ve seen so much overt antisemitism online in in the recent past that it’s become harder to assign severity if that makes sense. 140
cassius59.bsky.social @cassius59.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Do you agree with the assertion that El-Kurd’s assertion is “rank antisemitism”? I just find it incredibly ignorant or stupid as opposed to the malicious antisemitism you can easily find on X and probably here. 130
cassius59.bsky.social @cassius59.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I think fringe leftist outrage at Mamdani is significant only *online* and more specifically on X where these people have fellow travelers. I have not seen the same level of outrage from the horseshoe left on Bluesky. 000
cassius59.bsky.social @cassius59.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I mean he’s definitely asked Grok if he should nuke Iran. 030
cassius59.bsky.social @cassius59.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Reporters seem to be unwilling to ask follow up questions on this. How many Iranian civilians is he willing to murder to avoid having to accept a defeat? 000
cassius59.bsky.social @cassius59.bsky.social · 01/10/2026There’s antisemitism everywhere on the political spectrum. 100
cassius59.bsky.social @cassius59.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I’m sure some level of taxes is unavoidable but I also doubt any version of M4A will succeed without effective cost controls at every level of the healthcare industry. 120
cassius59.bsky.social @cassius59.bsky.social · 01/10/2026What’s actually going to happen. A Dem who votes like Liz Warren but far more outspoken on arms and aid packages for Israel. The party’s moving there anyway. 000
cassius59.bsky.social @cassius59.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Here’s why this is nonsense. Progressive Dems vote party line more than any other Dem. That’s just a reality. He’s going to take less bad votes than your average swing state Dem. He’s nowhere near Fetterman levels unreliable. You don’t have to like him but don’t be delusional about it. 100
cassius59.bsky.social @cassius59.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I think we’re likely to see a number of Dems win who would have lost in 2024, no? 170
cassius59.bsky.social @cassius59.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I’m not convinced Vance makes it to a general election debate stage but I’m looking forward to him eating shit either way. 0130
cassius59.bsky.social @cassius59.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Well, that begs the question of what the US would do differently next time. And there will be a next time, of some sort. We already see some movement on restricting the sale of arms to Israel. Supplying the weaponry gives the US some responsibility for what the recipient does with them. 110
cassius59.bsky.social @cassius59.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Maybe we just let Israel fight its next war on their own without bailing them out and having to eat shit for it. 110
cassius59.bsky.social @cassius59.bsky.social · 30/09/2026These are people who are not used to the pressure of a seriously competitive general election race. 010
cassius59.bsky.social @cassius59.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Vance does have a thing for making up stories so you never know. 000
cassius59.bsky.social @cassius59.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Bibi was warned multiple times by different nations with better human intelligence than the Israelis have. Personal hubris and arrogance played a major role here in the failure to prevent Oct 7. 000
cassius59.bsky.social @cassius59.bsky.social · 29/09/2026This guy has a screenshot from a conservative lobbyist group primed and ready to go when needed. Too lazy to even find a neutral article. Because there’s a ton of sympathy out there for whiny millionaires. 0160
