Yeah, he was specifically a very spoiled rich kid. He would do some funny things like openly cheat at board games while everyone watched him. I would love to know what his life was like before he came to the US.

It's funny, there was a Saudi in my department in grad school and he was constantly flabbergasted by the expectations of the professors (to do things like "turn in work" and "take tests")

the funny thing about this of course is that "athenian democracy" was a cautionary tale to the framers, who saw it as unstable and prone to demagogues and tyrants like the one rubio works for

I do think this should put some of the hand-wringing over the uniquely sinful American electorate, uniquely feckless institutions, etc in perspective. The truth is that there is a large trans-national constituency of people who actively want this. They aren’t deceived. They want this.

When was the last time the press ran a story about republicans making intemperate remarks about democrats? Fretting about whether republicans are doing enough to be bipartisan, to reach out to the forgotten voters who favor the democrats?

Can you not see how nonsensical it is to demand this extremely narrow interpretation of what constitutes “control” of an American state in order to imply that the most pro-trans cohort of major party politicians in the world is somehow the enemy of trans people

I love Talarico and hope he wins. But he’s already raised $70M On the flipside, control of critical state legislatures will come down to seats where candidates raise 0.1% of that. I’ve researched the highest leverage swing district candidates you should donate to secure.actblue.com/donate/donat...

secure.actblue.com

Donate to the candidates on the front lines of the fight against MAGA gerrymandering

These are anti-MAGA state candidates in *extremely* close races

I had to go look this up because I didn't believe it was real, it was too on the nose. Shouldn't have doubted a Texas Republican's ability to be detached from reality.

The best case scenario in every situation is "Trump gives up." Like Iran. Would Iran then control the Strait of Hormuz? Likely, and that's very bad! But Trump's involvement always makes things worse. Giving up now beats giving up in a few months after publicly exhausting our missile defenses.

I'm shocked, shocked, that the cool kids on here are finding reasons why you shouldn't vopte for Democrats two months before an election where the polls are tilting in their favor. Totally unprecedented. Nobody could have predicted this. A thing which has never happened before.

Yeah, it's not that I care a lot about celebs- I care very little, so if they do or say something shitty it's easy to flip the switch from "vague positive opinion" to "negative opinion"

A thing about ‘cancelling’ is that honestly I don’t have room for more than three or four bits of knowledge about a lot of famous people and if one of them is “has shitty opinions on something I care a lot about” that’s going to become very salient

The thing that's really bothering me about all this is that Talarico has a genuinely impressive track record on trans rights! The impulse that treats "very good, but not quite perfect" as though it were abject evil is such a poison
