On average food is taking up a DECREASING part of budgets, even as nominal prices rise

It’s totally completely off? This weird mix of whining, condescension, and faux-cool semi-aggression. If you’re trying to express outrage over something, just stick that single register

Respond better!

Here’s the thing: this is a social media post. A good one still isn’t going to flip any substantial number of votes in a race. But a bad post - and this is a bad post - will certainly live forever in the heads of your detractors.

I’m pretty sure this is what the kids call “crashing out”

This is how John wick must have felt

Yo people please do not come in here and abuse this person!

Treating any overreach by Israel-critical voices as an opportunity to leap in and secure through trickery some kind of implicit endorsement for what Israel has actually been doing in Gaza and Lebanon is deeply unhelpful. I’d go as far as saying this behavior is symbiotic with the antisemitism.

Okay, but stop and think for a second. Why THIS specific phrase? Has Israel been defending itself the last few years, or doing things that extend considerably beyond “defense”? Asking candidates to ritually affirm this idea despite events on the ground is a trick infected to back them into a corner.

I don't think... I've ever seen anything like this before?

I'd break this guy in half

(And I'm sure I've done the same - the point is that it's easy to slide in this direction inadvertently.)

I don't want to read too much into minor linguistic choices, but even the tendency to refer to AIPAC, a specific and singular entity, as "they" or "them," instead of "it," captures a bit of that toxic conspiracism. Let's not go down this road.

AIPAC is bad, it supports a lot of bad candidates, its electioneering is often sketchy. No argument there. It also hasn't been particularly successful in achieving the outcomes it wants, and its transformation into the omni-villain of left-wing politics has obvious, disturbing historic echoes.

Once again I'll reiterate that the way AIPAC has been transformed into this creeping villain behind every unwanted election result is feeding a resurgence of antisemitism, and that goes triple if the winner is Jewish and was opposed by AIPAC. Please please think about your words here!

This is such deep Minneapolis lore

I laughed pretty hard

gonna get this tattooed across my chest

Thank you, fascists hate it

Buddy that’s just called the supremacy clause
