Preferred pronouns? Buddy I got no idea. Buddhist, lover not a fighter, perpetually tired, historian in training, and professional nerd. Loves birds, science fiction, religious studies and poetry!
Also, they basically nuked an entire generation of staffers and electeds, even before they started to lose. Jeff Flake could probably still be an Arizona Senator! Most of the Bulwark folks would be either staff or electeds!
Like, even if you forget the fact that Elon is perfect LWOP material (and maybe even capital punishment material depending on what he has done that we don't know about yet or will do), dude's life expectancy is probably in the single digits between his drug habits and batshit insane lack of sleep.
The literal trillionaire who spends his free time ranting on social media about white genocide is a victim of economic anxiety who would see the error of his ways if we just gave him single payer healthcare.
This is directly adjacent to the idea that economic anxiety causes racism. If your theory only allows for material conditions as causes then you’re going to struggle to explain post-materialist politics.
Italy here. I'm not 100% sure about the eugenics part, but this is spot on.
Your Ad Hereoh my god no it does not. Canada has maha type cranks. The UK does. Japan does, Germany does, Sweden does, India does, France does IT'S NOT ABOUT THE MATERIAL CONDITIONS OF THE SYSTEM, WHICH YES ARE BROKEN MAHA IS A EUGENICS MOVEMENT NOTHING TO DO WITH THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM
I don’t think there’s enough vote for Stevens left but this will be a close result. My hope is that the El-Sayed/DSA/far left contingent don’t get despondent but realize that both factions need each other. It’s time to cut the shit and fight MAGA, not Democrats.
And in reality, like with Maine, that everyone outside Michigan had to care about who any of these people are and this became a national problem is actually bad and obnoxious.
One thing I think a lot of ppl don't properly appreciate is how thoroughly the GOP has devoured its seed corn. They *have* to keep winning elections or the entire patronage apparatus risks collapsing. They've chased off a lot of reliable rich donors. It's criminal assholes w/ expiration dates now.
On top of how thoroughly Dear Leader has already hollowed out GOP talent.
The good news is that we're about to inflict this on the GOP. Or rather, Dear Leader is.
Garrett PetersenLots of local parties are STILL rebuilding
While the gap between Dem and GOP talent keeps snowballing hard in favor of Dems, there has been an absolute decline in Dem talent, as a delayed effect of the local and state-level wipeouts under Obama.
fanxioustasticWhat I don’t understand is why so many states have such underwhelming options in this likely very blue year.
Hell no. I won’t go even one day into the past. My ex had pre-eclampsia and I don’t trust my now 15 year old son’s life to anything but modern medicine.
Matthew DownhourHonestly for me the limit is just child mortality. I would go back to the 20s; hell maybe earlier (I’m a white dude I know), and take my health & safety chances for a billion dollars, but the much higher chance you lose a child is one the money can’t make up for
honestly, the fact that we have made it through the atomic age *without* another use of nuclear weapons since 1945 is a miracle we don't fully appreciate
Rebecca R HelmToday is the day the story There Will Come Soft Rain is set. An amazing and heartbreaking work of fiction for our modern age. Read it here:
"I do not like children. No thanks." "Puppies? Let's just say, pass." "Vacations are overrated." "Remember when you were young? It wasn't as good as you remember it; and you weren't actually that attractive back then either." "Raiders of the Lost Ark is the worst Indiana Jones movie."
primary polling is hard, michigan polling is hard, primary polling in michigan is blindfolded darts apparently
Them: EDM is the music of the totalitarian state, and will one day be as synonymous with genocide as Wagner is with the Nazis. Me:

been harping on this but it just bothers me a whole bunch-it also just assumes that Mizrahim are being denied their true authentic culture of being Jewish Arabs! It's been made pretty clear that there's little buy-in for this notion either in Israel or in the rest of the region
