Americans picked Trump II, and their biggest objection is high prices. Hungary chose Orban, and their eventual big objection was corruption. Erdogan and Modi won multiple terms. Brazilians about to go Bolsonaro again. Not always free and fair, but yeah, millions want it. Wouldn’t work otherwise.

I'm increasingly skeptical of people using "Zionism" as a negative label. Say what you will about Netanyahu, and I think he belongs at the Hague, but be clear about whether your position is (1) the occupation of Palestine needs to end or (2) something terrible should happen to Jews in Tel Aviv

Significant numbers of leftists think Mayor Mamdani has betrayed the left by putting out an anti-antisemitism plan at all, and groups that claim to fight antisemitism like the ADL are giving Mamdani zero credit because he has not suddenly endorsed Zionism, and I am caught between and I am tired.

I recommend people read this to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment. Trump is either unwilling or unable (or maybe both) to answer the questions he's actually asked, so he just rants and raves while the interviewers do their best to provide structure to his random brain firings

"Winning" a sectarian conflict means ethnically cleansing or subjugating the other side, which is the explicit goal of both Likud & Hamas & a preferred outcome favored by both Israeli & Palestinian nationalist majorities in repeated surveys. I think this outcome would be very bad!
