My entire life I've heard centrists scolding leftist candidates with "oh, but how will we pay for all that? isn't your agenda unreasonable? shouldn't we run on a modest proposal for means-tested tax rebates?" Then Mamdani gets elected and makes it all look pretty easy. No wonder they hate him.

'attack a minority who typically vote for us, piss off our own base, & just hope we attract more voters across the aisle than we lose' is a risky galaxy-brain tactic to try when there's 'record high fuel prices' sitting right there. but they know this, of course. they simply don't want progress

Liberals in the US will look at slavery, the genocide of Native Americans, the Chinese Exclusion Act, the Tulsa Race Massacre, Japanese internment, Jim Crow, the Vietnam War, Cold War CIA coups, the Iraq War, and the genocide of Palestinians and be like, "That's not who we are." 🙃

The credulous coverage of Trump’s claimed “historic deal” in Greenland — which changes nothing of substance about the existing security agreement — is yet another embarrassing instance of the media “treating the kayfabe as real.” Why would a self-respecting reporter participate in this nonsense?

trump & co have hit the accelerator towards the end of the US as a superpower i think mainly because they believe in their own propaganda. you're meant to bluster about iran, but actually know your military couldn't take them if they stood up to you. trump is too one-dimensional for that sorta thing

I agree with @jvl.bsky.social. Dems would do well to conduct serial impeachments. First Heggy (if he is not convicted in Dec, after he IS impeached in House), then RFK. Then prioritize based on what will either gain support among Senate GOPers OR embarrass them. www.thebulwark.com/p/impeach-th...

The problem that Dems will have in 28 is that they must prosecute & reverse everything this administration did, but the GOP candidates will say “move on” and the complicit American media will also ask, “isn’t it time to move on?”. We have an obligation to make sure nothing like this happens again

there is a certain type of personality that simply loves to be the bearer of bad news but perpetually couches it in "being honest" or "the only adult in the room". it is because they enjoy hurting people but want to be able to maintain the moral high ground. after all, they're just the messenger!

Here's what I think @mehdirhasan doesn't understand: In the United States, polls don't make policy. Policymakers do. Screaming, shouting, and protesting are cute, and exercising all of your freedoms of speech in defense of the Palestinians is admirable.
But Mehdi is just a spectator. He's a professional spectator, jawboner, and bloviator, so he has no idea how government, diplomacy, negotiation, or strategic alliances actually work. No amount of public support in polling or public protest will influence how or when those in power drastically change Israel policy. Mehdi can hate U.S. policy toward Israel all he wants, whether it's being carried out by a Democratic or Republican president. But public opinion polls don't dictate American foreign policy. Never have. Never will.

No matter what you do as a dem politician running for office it is NEVER worth capitulating to these cranks. They will cite FOX NEWS as evidence for non-existent "tax payer funded drag shows" and their goons will threaten your life anyway because they don't believe in anything that isn't crank shit.
Picture of an attack ad against Sherrod Brown depicting Brown, AOC, and Bernie Sanders from left to right in black and white photos. The mailer is made of glossy thick card stock with white and orange text

Captioned arrows point to each of the three, starting from the top:

"THERE ARE SOCIALIST RADICALS" (pointing to Bernie Sanders)

"THERE ARE WOKE LUNATICS" (pointing to AOC)

"THEN THERE'S FAR-LEFT CAREER POLITICIAN SHERROD BROWN"

In the bottom right of the mailer, a faux warning label reads 
"WARNING
SHERROD BROWN IS TOO LIBERAL FOR OHIO"

In the bottom left is a bullet list framed by an orange box with black text reading:

"And they're all pushing the same agenda:

x ENCOURAGING SEX CHANGES FOR MINORS¹
x ALLOWING MEN IN GIRL'S SPORTS AND LOCKER ROOMS²
x TAXPAYER FUNDED DRAG SHOWS FOR KIDS³"

In small white text at the bottom left, "citations" are listed for each bullet point:

1. WSYX, 7/19/23 | 2. S.5. 6/21/23 | 3. FOX NEWS 9/14/23
