a bit off topic but i think people are freaking out about this way too much. when was the last time the identity of the NYC mayor had a real political impact outside the city itself? are the midterms *really* going to be more of a referendum on Mamdani than on Trump?

serious question: when was the last time the identity of the NYC mayor had a real political impact outside the city itself? are the midterms *really* going to be more of a referendum on Mamdani than on Trump?

"Candidate quality matters" can go both ways. not only is Mamdani a good candidate, but i'm sure he was helped a lot by the fact that his main appointment was Andrew freakin' Cuomo

Some people are into politics because they care about how policy impacts people. They like winning elections, and build coalitions to do so. Other people are into politics as aesthetics, because their stances make them feel edgy and superior. They like losing and complaining, and shun coalitions.

The coalition that elected Trump back in November was always more fragile than it looked

I assure you no matter what happens the future of the national Democratic Party has nothing to do with the NYC election, nor should it.

not sure how one primary in one city is indicative of a country wide problem for the Dems but ok

instituting a draft would be political suicide, even for Trump. it's why i never worried about Bush drafting anyone during Iraq

The whole idea of "antiwar" Trump has long rested on a confused reading of his hatred of multilateralism, the international order, and the Deep State. He doesn't hate those things for "dovish" reasons. He hates them for degenerate/corrupt reasons. Thoughts on that: newrepublic.com/article/1969...

When a public commentator sees a politician lie, it's better for them to point out that it's lie than to praise the liar, especially when that doesn't even accurately describe the politicians' actual rhetoric or record, but is something made up that sounds more appealing to the commentator.

i've noticed people get more upset with you if you seem to criticize Obama specifically as opposed to Dems as a whole. quite frankly i think he has a fan base that loves him but aren't real Dem party people. if that makes sense, lol

Obama always had this air about him as being above it all (remember "no drama Obama?) and in some ways i can respect him not speaking out on every little thing. however i feel like if things really are as bad as people say they are, i feel like he would be speaking out more, you know?

to this day, i'm still stunned how much him saying that bothered so many (white) people. to me it was always a fairly benign thing to say.
