Behold the 4Chan-ization of the next generation of GOP leaders. The kids are not all right. These are the sensibilities driving the Republican Party and its media and paramilitary (viz. ICE) arms. Does anyone really think the republic is in good hands with people like

An armed Hamas has the power to preempt any Palestinian state born of a permanent treaty of peace with a Jewish-majority Israel, so the Hamas promise to disarm only to a Palestinian state is made in bad faith. Hamas will make Palestine a stillborn failed state, just

You can’t argue that the Western left isn’t pro-Hamas. They’re angry that Hamas would be expected to disarm and step down from power in exchange for Israeli withdrawal. They would rather combat resume despite their claims of “genocide” for years. They care more about

Shakespeare was so good at placing effective rhetoric into the mouths of his villains that some audiences and even directors think them the heroes.

CA Democrats probably just saved the House of Representatives for the entire country but MSNCB decided a mayoral race in NYC was more important to talk about.
We had less than 8 weeks to get this done and managed record turnout.
Stop telling me Democrats are bad at messaging. It’s a MSM problem.
You didn’t address my issues with it.

When there is early and absentee voting, there is no excuse save not caring enough about local issues in the first place.

BREAKING: Democrat Johnny DuPree has flipped a Republican-held Mississippi Senate district in a special election.
DuPree was previously the mayor of Hattiesburg.
His win imperils the Mississippi Senate GOP's narrow supermajority.

I disagree: between NYC’s weird and stupid ranked-choice system causing confusion for state and federal primaries and local issues being buried under national ones, odd-year elections serve us better.
Honestly, if people can’t be bothered to turn out for odd years, do they deserve democracy?

They could moderate. They could find liberal Republicans to counter radical DSAniks. But they’d rather represent the national brand where it’s not wanted than expand the tent & win.
I really don’t like how national issues are now determining local races. Less than 10% of the NYC City Council will be Republican. In a normal time, New York Republicans would take stock and recruit candidates with values and platforms that appeal to New York voters.
