I literally know nothing about Chi Ossé other than that he's an NYC Councilman and that he considered primarying Jefferies but didn't, so the fact that he is apparently the stormy petrel of the New York DSA/progressive movement confuses me.

I am hearing that on his deathbed Nigel Farage received the light of Binface and unhesitatingly recited the Odyssey in Homeric Greek. Even now he looks down upon Clacton from the gardens of LARP. Truly there is no British ruling class but Oxford graduates, and Count Binface is their prophet!

They really should have waited until after the primary lol

Under a worker's government, we will target very high inflation so non-workers get the stick

Ossoff voting for it is the biggest concern about a potential presidential campaign from me

The losing candidate for Iowa Senate met his wife HOW

Personal life
In 2019, Wahls announced his engagement to journalist Chloe Angyal.[44] Angyal wrote an article in 2011 for the blog Feministing entitled "Marry Me, Zach Wahls" [45] which led to the two meeting and later starting a relationship. The couple married in 2021[citation needed] and their son was born in 2024.[46]

Both the Thanksgiving interview and the "Israel comes to me in my dreams" clip may have decided their respective elections lol

If only Zachary Taylor's scheming vizier William H. Seward had convinced him to bring in even more German revolutionaries to settle in Wisconsin before he was murdered by his former son-in-law Jefferson Davis, Hong's margins in the rurals would be slightly better.

For the record the outcome we got (Crowley/Flanagan) is arguably better than what the polling had (Hong/Craig) because the goodness delta between Hong and Crowley is smaller than the goodness delta between Flanagan and Craig.

Primaries I watch live as they roll in: wow, exactly like the polling Primaries I ignore and check on well into the night:

I feel like we can't really talk about Woke 1 if it includes criminals going to jail (Weinstein, Chauvin), corporations acting more queer/minority friendly, insane cancelings on Twitter, and the BLM movement under one umbrella.

Woke 1 was replaced by the New Awaking Pan (NAP), which lasted until AOC seized control of the party after Biden's decline despite his testament and instituted Woke 2.

Imagine getting on a transcontinental flight from Istanbul to Washington DC and getting told they ran out of meals because they had to smuggle the President on board.

Every Presidential election where Obama has not been on the ballot has seen Wisconsin won by less than one percent. It's almost impressive how committed they are to keeping us on the edge over there.

And 2022! Like I do think the Hong hate is overblown, but "Would Wisconsin really vote for a freakjob election denying Republican?" is uh, not something we can dismiss out of hand.

This is basically just Woodrow Wilson

Canada having a hegemonic socially liberal party with economically liberal and conservative wings is pretty beast, don't see that too often.

It was basically the most plum job in the US because you got a cut of the fees and a lot of patronage jobs to distribute in the biggest city in the country

Time to look up who his Vice President was... oh no...

Thinking about Andrew Jackson running against the corrupt JQA administration, then appointing a guy to the Collector of the Port of New York over literally everyone's objections because he liked him personally, and that guy stealing more money than everyone in the previous administration combined.

The median voter cycle: - get mad at system - vote for changes to system - vote for changes to system in the other direction to balance things out - system gets deadlocked - voters elect man on horseback to destroy everything - man on horseback creates new system

I think if you are a man you might be able to pull off wearing this, but only if you do it with complete and total confidence. Have any sense of nervousness about what you're wearing and it's over for you.

(This isn't a disagreement with your broader statement that the US should actually stop selling weapons to Israel, it's just that the Begin call is really magnified, it wasn't paired with any sort of meaningful program)

Okay but it didn't really, like Sabra and Shatila happened a month after that call

NAFTA's biggest impact was on the textile mills, not heavy manufacturing in the Rust Belt. If we're discussing political impact, consider which region of the United States Democrats were competitive in under Clinton and not at all under Gore or Kerry!

I know not with what weapons Woke 3 will be fought, but Woke 4 will be fought with sticks and stones.

They actually filmed a remote Filipino tribe killing an elf with magic as part of a religious ritual and used that footage in the movie, like the buffalo in Apocalypse Now.

"Dobby's grave" is actually just a random site they picked out while filming the movie. The real Dobby's corpse was found in a car park in Leicester in 2012.
