If he can win the general without winning the Democratic primary then he's running in the wrong primary.

They were saying the same stuff about Harris, even after the election.

If you make the claim “Democrats are/are not doing X” and what you mean is “I’m told Newsom specifically and exclusively did/didn’t do X” then you are engaging in an act of intentional dishonesty aimed at harming the party that is the best in the world on this specific issue, it’s reprehensible

I just think pragmatically if you're going to play this card you have to credibly commit that you are specifically anti-Newsom and you are not going to do this to every candidate you don't like

A British spy asks for 3 glasses in Inglourious Basterds

One thing I never understood about Les Miserables is how Javert managed to convince the higher ups at the police department to commit nearly unlimited time and money to the Bread Crimes Unit.

Iran has exactly one ally with the ability to Do Stuff and it just walked its army into a mulching machine four years ago

Israel has been killing anybody and everybody who could plausibly lead the IRGC—even reformers and dissenters—because that is the one eventuality they're unwilling to accept. They want an Iran that doesn't give a shit about Hezbollah and Hamas.

Much like their brethren on the other side of the horseshoe, they like to believe the innocent, pure, angelic public was *manipulated* into overwhelming support of the Iraq War rather than being adults in full possession of their faculties who made a very bad call in the heat of the moment.

I gotta admit the one thing really continually grating me in groupchats is the insistence that the US is a Smol Bean party to the conflict that has been dragged into this by Israel and we have no agency in the matter

Three carrier groups in the area and regular TLAM strikes disagree!

One great insight from the Energy Insiders Podcast is that, for long haul road transport and trucking, electrification creates demand for electricity at all locations along a major trucking route. This allows renewables to avoid long transmission lines to distant cities, saving a lot of money!

Here’s setting up a pretty good object lesson for the people who believe that the sure fire way to get what you want in politics is to make a demand and then hold your breath until you get it.

IF Gavin Newsom is on a ballot THEN me and many others will refuse to vote for him THEREFORE instead of bitching at me and others like me YOU should take the *years* you have and make sure that doesn't happen if you actually fucking care BECAUSE my position is immutable

I am not a Newsom guy. Hope he loses, will help advocate for that to happen. If for whatever reason he wins the primary, he’s the only choice in the general. I wouldn’t take this argument* seriously from a Joe Manchin type making it about AOC, so why should anybody here?

okay now hang on, maybe we're being too hasty

If you go straight back in my feed you'll find an entire string of posts about the deaths of those schoolchildren and military casualties as well. Post after fucking post. Cherry-picking a single entry so you can play artisan grudge-farmer on the internet is a cheap mug's game. So fuck off. Thanks.

Oh, from your last post I think I know who you're talking about, and I recognize the profile picture but I cannot for the life of me remember what I've argued with him about.

Hurwitz?

If it's real than you can get the video from someone other than the Leo Frank truther who wants to awake American Christians to the evils of the traitorous Jews among them.

He's been responsible for selectively clipped videos going viral before.

"I literally don't give one single shit about anything except ensuring our country returns to this," writes person who almost certainly opposes greenhouse gas regulation.

Israel is not dictating US foreign policy. Donald Trump is. Donald Trump has been talking about bombing Iran since 1980.

It is wild how consistently it turns out the people arguing in defense of hypothetical principled nonvoters are never, themselves, principled nonvoters.

Either (1) they don't actually exist, or (2) people like Jonathan are lying and telling on themselves.

If you can be discouraged from antifascism you're not an antifascist

Nope, because as an adult I know one of them is going to win.

"it is not my civic duty to convince my fellow voters not to plunge our country into fascism because of their inaction"

Whelp, there we go. Maximum consumer mindset.

good first steps:

1) Actively fire Jonathan Greenblatt with cause
2) fire every single person on their stupid mamdani watch committee
3) put back up the hate speech encyclopedia they deleted because a Nazi asked them to
4) actively call Elon Musk a Nazi to his face

Nah, fuck that noise. The guy has a nazi tattoo his whole adult life, makes racist, misogynist, and homophobic posts, promotes Holocaust deniers, and interviews with a white supremacist and declares himself a "longtime fan."

But sure, yeah, lol, his popularity is the fault of zionists

Minor thought: if these guys thought there was a serious chance the whole thing would be rigged in their favour, they wouldn't be slipping away like this would they right

The second half of this post feels like it should have been an earlier post
