Amazing how outright affiliation with AIPAC has become poison

You’d think Kat may close the gap by running on “they switches from supporting Fine to try to bury me”

If repeated terrible jobs reports, wars, and government endorsed murders here and abroad won’t tank the market, not much will, barring an AI collapse

The center will also simultaneously pearl clutch about the ”antisemitism” of Rashida Tlaib and Zohran Mamdani while ignoring Platnet’s stuff

The amazing thing is that the “antisemitism“ of Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and Zohran Mamdani gets discussed more than the Nazi tattoo guy who only hangs out with Nazis

Just as the comeback was not authored by Williams alone, the choke Was not Love’s alone, sure

Basically - I agree, I doubt he has the discipline to do a full out Iraq 2 the moment the polls quiver

I think I’ve landed on the conclusion that he’s mostly non-ideological outside of just wanting to do his little petty grifts (doing this to profit on Polymarket checks out) and is letting his court of dead-eyed psychos to pursue whatever terrifying kink their hearts desire

Yes if Love played better than he does he would be a better QB than he is, this seems like a logical statement

Everyone here making this argument seems to want to ignore the 22 incompletions Love threw, and the 6 points he produced in the 2H, and how if he had a pulse, Caleb’s comeback falls short. Caleb is far from perfect but the other side of that comeback was Love’s choke

Now to go to a genre I know nothing about, Chicago is seen as the birthplace of house music!

Very few of these people were “from Chicago” but the commonality is coming into contact with Muddy Waters and Chess Records (located on South Michigan Avenue)

Chicago is definitely the birthplace of electric blues, blues itself obviously came as folk music from the south, transplanted here during the Great Migration. the big development was using electric guitars, and also spawned the people who created Rock - Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry

Yes, and in this case, Fine has virtually self-defined herself as the AIPAC candidate (this district is relatively high % Jewish). I doubt she would have done so if she realize how toxic that association had become

Yeah, I am (unfortunately) in Quigley’s district and thus have no say here, but I’d probably back Biss in a good number of races (including against Quigley), but no point when there is an actually good candidate (Kat)

As a Jew myself, is the problem not actually that AIPAC actually behaves like the tropes

Atlantic should have absolutely framed the piece better than they did. That’s the publication’s fault.

I made the mistake of assuming your response to me was engagement and not a means to your very impressive credential, that’s my fault. Have a great day!

if you read the piece Bill linked from Nieman, who interviews Bruenig, it’s very clear what the piece is (a fictionalization, based on interviews with medical experts). Sometimes telling a story utilizing facts is a more effective rhetorical tool than stating facts

While I have never been accused of being a Bruenig defender, I think the piece is good, but The Atlantic’s editors seem to not understand the criticism - it’s not of what Bruenig wrote (which again, I find effective) it’s the lack of clarity in how THEY framed it - which isn‘t Breunig’s job!

While the % change of the $0.20 of Euro value and $800 of BTC is similar - again not enough people are holding enough Euros as a speculative asset for it to wipe them out

They are relatively niche, and the trades are insufficient to actually drive those fluctuations (generally). Bitcoins value in dollars dropped by $882 YESTERDAY. basically, with some historical exceptions, a, say, Peso is going to be worth similar next year to what it is now. Not so with BTC

If I may answer a question not asked of me - sovereign currency is not treated as an investable asset the way Bitcoin is. The Euro since its inception from high to water low watermark has spanned in value by $0.40. The Pound Sterling since WW2 is about $0.60. Traders do profit on these margins, but
