Why not a left-wing coup instead? We just need a few progressive generals willing to take a stand.

So the antisemitic slogan should be more like "Go back to Italy/Greece/Bosnia." But I guess "Go back to Poland" just has more of as sting or something.

The weird thing about antisemites trolling ashkenazi Jews as being polish is that most Ashkenazi Jews don't see dna as that taboo. Yes, intermarriage has happened in Judaism.

But the evidence really suggests Ashkenazi Jews have a greater Mediterranean/Balkan influence than Slavic.

I don’t think Robin Williams final moment had much to do with depression. He lived with depression and flourished under it. But dementia was a shame he could not submit to.

I now have DNA proof that I have a long lost half aunt in Allentown Pennsylvania who's a hug fan of Donald Trump.

Doubt I'll get to know her. But it does make my appreciation for Billie Joel's music that much richer.

A weird thing to think about. A lot of people before before ww2 were consuming more salt than you could possibly hope to consume even if you were a redneck fast food fan boy.

When salt used as preservative for every day foods like meat that’s a lot of salt.

No Kings does appear to be at least a coherent message built around an idea rather than identity politics. That's cool.

Discord?

As long as Israel wins let the leftists win the argument. Colonist, shmolonist, it doesn't matter. Israel needs to keep killing terrorists and enjoy life.

yes

I mean we should add, ideally we just wouldn't have primaries. It is a bit of silly theater to expect ordinary democrats to know who really is the most electable.

Israel still intends to destroy hamas. Seems reasonable.

Palestinians rejected a palestinian state and massive land transfers at at camp david, 5 years after Rabin had been killed.

A very Farage take here, but no. Palestinians did not have a right to kill immigrants they'd never met because they practiced a different faith.

Aside from that though, they made a goal to exterminate all Jews in the region regardless of how long they'd lived there.

the palestinians started the 1947 civil war by starting a war to throw the Jews in the sea and rejecting the two state solution.

Also the long term security tradeoffs for Israel are just so complicated. Hamas wanted a lot of terrorists to go free as part of this deal, it was fair enough Israel was going to eliminate some more terrorists in gaza before signing anything like what finally passed.

Tbf we have seen Lisa Simpson style candidates win some tough races, I'd put Jackie Rosen in there.

But idk. Janet Mills would have to learn more about her.

tbf though when your dad was the Maine attorney general you are rightfully described as part of the establishment.

What is the more important explanation for Vermont moving so far to the left 1955 to 1995?

A) Wasps losing interest in the Republican Party
B) Hippies moving in
C) Something else

I find Planter's views quite distasteful and intuitively it makes sense that Mills is the candidate more likely to win but it's not totally clear.

The are in the data. Unfortunately I have zero faith in the Democratic Party to listen to the data scientists.

It is not entirely clear Janet Mills is more likely to win than hamas oysterman. A near octogenarian pantsuit insider who grew up even more privileged than Hillary? Oh that's just what the people wanted.

. They might occasionally face antisemitism in the USA from islamists, but as long as they wave hands in de-escalation "Actually I never go to synagogue and I believe Israel is committing genocide." So you know, not saying they aren't Jews I'm just not impressed that this carries any moral weight.

Hmm... I don't know this guy. He looks tweaked in some other photos.

But in fairness there are tons of (largely liberal/secular) American Jews who are pro Palestinian. I just don't see it as some kind of thing I should care about.

They don't have to deal with terrorism like Israelis do.

Ofc amnesty + strong immigration enforcement was always going to be the gold standard solution. We're going to get the latter but not the former. Not the best set up but a result I can live with.

We just want a set up where you guys have your own party and stop damaging our brand by identifying as Democrats. The UK Labour party may get lucky, that seems to be happening with the Greens. Canada always had it.

Even if this wasn't a top spending priority it's a long time coming. Leave it be and give the public what they want. Keep enforcing the law, as illegal immigration really always was illegal.

I do hope a future Democratic administration can defang Ice and turn it into a boring law enforcement agent rather than a grotesque bit of political theater.

I don't want a future Democratic administration or congress to defund immigration enforcement.

In a way Columbus lost, bc he did eventually die.

Otoh Dominicans are still speaking Spanish rather than taino. A pretty solid legacy

For people saying Bibi should have taken a deal earlier.

Maybe? I mean the fact that additional terrorists were killed as the war progressed is not necessarily a negative. This isn't something that we should pretend to understand the security implications of.

If there are people who are plotting to destroy Israel, Israel will rise and kill first. This is preemptive security is moral and righteous.
