I think as a general rule it would be good for the Democratic Party to nominate younger candidates on average but we may have rung that bell a little too hard if people look at “is Old” and “is maybe Nazi” and see the first as worse.

In "fairness," it does come from a fairly accurate read of the electorate.

"Authoritarianism but I get to live in Star Trek off the backs of an oppressed low wage migrant class we can tyrannize at will" is basically what the 2024 election said people wanted.

Ed Markey, who is currently still in Congress speaking out against the Iran War just today, was shaky on interracial marriage issues even up until 1994.

he will almost certainly be deeply unreliable with respect to the extensive, difficult all-hands-on-deck deNazification efforts that will be needed once this Groyper-based administration is ejected.

Californians pay a lot of rent, except to live in everyone’s heads

This is how pretty much any random flyover state resident feels about their home vs California and will tell you unprompted any time it's mentioned

Newsom is the only person pushing back against that, and it’s great to see. CA is literally the best, most anti-GOP place in the entire world, I don’t understand why other people don’t get on the same page, and push back against this GOP talking point, whether they like this one specific guy or not.

a reminder that Graham Platner is the grandson of the designer of the "Windows on the World" restaurant at the WTC, has considerable family money, and his main business is selling oysters to his mom's two restaurants. These people are fucking marks.

Disney commissions a grotesque animatronic replica of a President designed to be intentionally ugly and disturbing. Over time, he begins physically transforming to match it. His features grotesquely distort, his movements become mechanical, and his appearance becomes increasingly nightmarish.

yes, but you don’t have to be Greek for this to be the case! I went to the Greek festival, Italian festival, Portuguese festival at the churches in town every year, I am none of those, and I still have an enormous fondness for all of them. A decent ethnic restaurant will unduly enamor me the same!

Can’t get past the fact that the guy who called dead service member suckers and losers and wondered out loud “what was in it for them”, casually said that there will be casualties as he launches a war in the Middle East
