Yeah, I also mean in the sense that these reps have name ID, a relationship etc with the voters they've picked that further insulates them from outside threats

I think its been pointed out that "isolationism" in the American context refers mostly to isolation from Europe. Fucking around in Asia and the western hemisphere is firmly within the "isolationist" tradition, no?

Watching NFL in London is refreshingly like public broadcasting.. no ads, random guests, relatively quiet subdued chatter..

AOC the incumbent Mamdani the upstart coming for party leadership?

20.11.2025 18:43 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

In that case wouldn't Mamdani be the Party Leader and everyone would be expected to fall in line?
