I'm not in Texas, and with (waves at everything) I haven't done a deep dive on them.

Aren't they both better than average candidates, from a progressive viewpoint? If not, where do they fall short?

This is the correct answer. Rarely do I agree with any politician 💯 but this is one of those times

Probably should have done it last night instead of the ice dancing showcase

Northern Ireland is clearly different. But according to The Conversation, 4% of the 142,526 officers in England and Wales are armed.

100% of US cops are armed.

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself

If we required 10 years of meritorious unarmed service before cops got guns, it would solve nearly everything. The chuds that cause the problems would not stick it out that long. The ones that did would have real experience in de-escalation.

British cops are not armed, it can obviously be done.

Coal is back, baby!

I don't need to know, I just want the experts to know. 😂 Somebody's got to know what they are doing!

Are there definitive answers agreed upon by the experts, or is some of this stuff truly ambiguous?

Isn't it still squishy? What does dual citizenship even mean? For some countries, it seems like citizenship and passport-holding are the same thing. Is that really true? Is it the same everywhere? How about voting? Only citizens vote, but voting is only held by states. I'm confused.

And there are a lot more of them!
That dude is egregiously wrong

But also, hungry people can eat those scraps.

That is to say, it's still a win that will matter in real people's lives.

Take the win, AND keep fighting

We failed to imagine what was possible.

Some people think technology starts and ends with software.

Do you think those are the people who say the left doesn't like tech?

Funny, here in California I thought most of his support was from outside the state

My impression is that the former happens sometimes, and the latter very rarely. I'm happy to be proven wrong on that though.

The talking heads usually say the progs need to drop out to win the middle. That is not early and vociferous support

I just want everyone to support each other against fascism.

In areas where a moderate is a clear front runner, the progressives should support them early and vociferously.

In areas where a progressive is getting traction, moderates should support them early and vociferously.

And if you’re wondering “Why is there a blob in the back?” Well, that’s where the first woman president was supposed to go. More than a century later, it remains unsculpted.

Unless spending on elections doesn't actually matter much to the outcome.

I read an article that I can't find now that says it's really the lobbying money that matters.

Sometimes I get a little upset when I live in a collapsing dystopia for many years

"Getting behind him eventually" is exactly the kind of thing that makes leftists feel like moderates demand things be done EXACTLY as they want.

In a coalition, moderates and leftists should jump in FOR EACH OTHER with both feet, against the fascists.

Or even, let's all support Abughazalah, Frost, and Omar in their districts, in a full throated support kind of way.

As well as supporting moderate Dems in their districts, not instead of

You make a good point, but I think the Left could make the same point against the moderates.

Moderates have rarely actively supported leftist candidates, even against Rs (e.g. Mamdani).

They could easily be perceived as insisting that everyone do what THEY want.

We all need to work together.

As far as I'm concerned, we started using it after whichever Gulf war that was when the White House was mad at France's non-support for our escapades, and so started calling the potatoes in the cafeteria "Freedom Fries." The US's inexplicable use of units must have a similar justification
