How did Ossoff win median voters if he's only *slightly* cringe?

The distinction between objective / subjective evil sometimes matters, and the difference between midcentury American Nazis and Communists is one of those times

Jeffries might have tried, IDK, and you don't know either.
But no way Massie is switching, especially for those things. He's a Nazi ideologue. Ironically this is *why* Republican leadership has trouble keeping him in line, the grifters are easier to intimidate.

No, the Liberal Democratic Party (moderates) are the biggest supporters of rejoining the EU

Starmer's killed Labour electorally; it's a minor party you shouldn't throw your vote away on
The question is, who will govern best over the remaining time?
(BTW changing leaders right before an election is usually good electorally)

Biden did follow this kind of advice, and his popularity was killed by inflation. In contrast, Swedish Social Democrats understood the importance of low inflation, and stayed popular for decades

Carter was unpopular because of inflation, and Volcker saved Reagan's popularity by killing inflation (with a short recession)
If Volcker had done that halfway through Carter's first term, instead of Reagan's, it would have been good for Carter
(probably why Volcker didn't do it)

Usually when municipalities don't work together it's because suburban Republicans hate the city & refuse to work with it

The union wasn't calling for a boycott. Usually they won't unless there's a long strike.
Boycotting a company just because there's a union effort - helps competitors who are totally nonunion.

Seems notable than Hanania is so hated by a fellow Nazi. Perceived as a traitor?

DOJ is redacting all names from some documents
And often not redacting victim photos or videos

A lot of unsourced, anonymous tips & claims are in these files.
The docs don't say *how* this ended up in the possession of the DOJ. All anyone has verified is that
1. The DOJ released it, &
2. Deciphered, this is what it says

DoJ seems to have redacted all names rather than just the victims' names. Meanwhile they didn't redact photos & videos of the victims. Super messed up

2016 broke too many brains and fuzzed the line between fellow travelers, useful idiots, and developed assets. So now folks need to be constantly retaught that "runs in the same elite circles and responds to the same incentives" is in fact subtly but crucially distinct from "is a Russian asset."

Having them all in one place is an opportunity, to, say, put them to work Building The Wall by hand
Or guarding each other in a prison in Guantanamo Bay

I think anyone who goes around blaming liberals for GOP stuff is obfuscating things - in a way useful for Republicans.
And "don't tax the rich" is GOP stuff
