DSA isn't attacking Dems after the primaries, and any isolated cases certainly aren't supported by the org broadly. Centrist Dems on the other hand are too busy punching left to focus on their own races, as Neera Tanden embarrassingly showcased in her recent sit down with Tim Miller.

Don't forget who she chose as her first guest in her new role.

Pretty good answer, though falls short of best case which would pinpoint the absurdity by cherry picking some terrible things some Republican surrogate (e.g. Loomer) has said recently. "The Republicans keep saying heinous things like ___, and you're asking me about a political shock jock?"

I think we've been collectively sleeping on hat possibilities.
6 exotic men's hat styles:
- feathered cocktail
- sculptural fold
- disc fascinator
- halo brim
- embellished boater
- gothic formal

He holds wholly unacceptable positions, and it would take unwarranted congeniality for me not to scream in his face if given the opportunity. At a human level I totally get why he doesn't want to meet constituents, which is fine after he resigns.

$2M? What does that buy, 3 robodogs? At this scale it's nothing, add a few zeroes and it's judgement day.

I came here to congratulate them on what (I assume) must be significant recent progress.

How about a state-wide ballot initiative to ban surveillance tech (including dual-use tech like Lime scooters)? Seems like a version of this could pass overwhelmingly.

This is wrong, even when it's happening to terrible people. Especially when it's happening to terrible people! Viewers naturally feel sorry for anyone taking punches like this when they aren't even fighting back. Clip seems designed to make the crowd look like savages - and it does.

None of this is anti-Blazers. It’s the deal any fan should actually want: team stays 25–30 years, building renovated, owner gets his development play, public gets paid back. Raleigh proves everyone can win. The only novel act would be Portland asking.

Use Firefox Focus on mobile, and Ublock (or your favorite ad blocker) on desktop. Disable auto-play. Use the internet like it's 1999 again!

I did give a listen to some of the Tiny Desk concert, with my takeaway that the whole band put on a hell of a tiny show. Still never going to happen. 🤠🔪👂

Can confirm that, for me, country music was never about the artist. I dislike it all equally. Kinda cool to see diversity in the genre though, and no question he looks good in a cowboy hat.

Watch him in any interview. Like he's navigating invisible red lines, it's impossible to unsee once you recognize it. Nobody who can't be clear on this central issue is a viable 2028 contender.

Nobody normal would disbelieve you. George got thousands of votes and I'm sure that includes a lot of people I mostly agree with. I don't share your views about the candidate, and am glad he won't be in congress. I hope you don't think people would try to bully you about this, seems unlikely. ❌👑

Got through, like 6% got through? You should have backed Cam. You'd be on top of the world right now. Can you even admit to yourself why you did this? Nobody in a million years thinks you'd be an actual check on power, and the voters in NY don't fuck around.

Not necessarily, only new laws need a presidential signature (or an overturned veto) - this might be about asserting congressional power and I don't think that goes through the same process.

Moore's refusal to clarify his role with Dialog is pretty damning - and I can't think of any association with Peter Thiel that wouldn't be disqualifying in my book.
