I disagree, serving Little Caesars "pizza" should come with a mandatory minimum

?????????? I'm genuinely so unclear on how you can interpret my criticism of the democratic party establishment and praise for Mamdani as an endorsement of the moderate wing in presidential primaries

Progressive win in a middle class, immigrant heavy, median education, bluish purple district in suburban mass!

Congrats to Vanna Howard on your victory tonight! #mapoli

They think you build trust by delivering, and yeah delivering helps, but you need to make sure people know you're on their side and that involves messaging that might be a bit vulgar, like putting your name on stuff

The thing is once you've established that you're on the people's side they'll let you slide when you hit walls. Like he hasn't actually done all the promises that he could theoretically do yet, but people trust him. That's the thing that most Dems lack, because they haven't built trust

It's very interesting because I think California uniquely does not have a 🇺🇸 waving culture, like even Massachusetts (bluer) has way more American flags everywhere than LA

This is a job you term out of, and I'm not sure if he wants to be in the legislature again. So he might take a job like this in 2033

I'm not making any grand claim about a secret sauce, I'm making a very narrow claim about the effect of the checks bsky.app/profile/drop...

Democrats saw trump get a bunch of unearned credit for putting his name on checks and went "how horrible" and not "how can we get in on this". Fundamentally I think we have too many principles on stuff that fundamentally does not matter. Black cat, white cat, I do not care. Does. It. Catch. Mice.

No systems analyst has ever lived a well rounded and well adjusted life smh

(1) didn't they spend a lot of time trying to construct pseudoscientific theories about hyerboria/Atlantis/teutonics/etc to claim indigeneity to all of northern Europe (2) the modern ones definitely do lean on nativism as a concept

Basically stop reading it as "there is a categorical difference between the new and old worlds, blood and soil is potentially valid, but doesn't apply here" and start reading it as "shut up I do not care about blood and soil you're making an old world argument that isn't even sound shut up"

The anti immigrant argument in the US (and elsewhere) is "(1) blood = soil, (2) you have the wrong blood, therefore (3) you cannot be on this soil". This slogan is undercutting the argument by simply saying "wait what about you" rather than engaging with it. It's not affirming (1) to do that

It's not implying via the inclusion of "on stolen land" that you can be illegal in France. It is saying what it means. In the American context, 99% are not indigenous, everyone has an equal lack of right to be here by traditional blood and soil, so get over it, nobody's illegal

I feel like the people mad about "nobody is illegal on stolen land" seem to want to have a conversation about the old world when this is American discourse and we simply do not care

Like idk I'm extremely argumentative too so I usually have sympathy but like he's somehow argumentative even by my standards; he is really testing my general anti-collegiality-norm stance

*sometimes fairly legitimately, see the whole frey endorsement debacle, sometimes not

It's also pretty obvious that what's going on here isn't some grand ideological disagreement, some traditional leaders on the ground think this guy, who they've beefed with* is clout chasing/appropriating their work. And then acting stupidly about this grievance

From information we have, he's been treated a bit shabbily. It's also N=1 guy who's been treated shabbily and I genuinely do not know why everyone on here cares so much

Tbh like thing that's being lost in all the Minneapolis protest discourse is that you can't just use WS as a standin for how longtime protestors are reacting to new converts. He's a known quantity who they already dislike who is also possibly the most argumentative guy on the planet

MBTA board: ok folks we need to find a name for our commuter rail system. Anyone have any ideas?

Board member 1: T-extension!

Board Member 2: T+!

Board Member 3: the purple line!

Guy who named Long Island: ok guys hear me out

Your honor, I am a smol bean. Furthermore, if you see exhibit A, you will find that I am both neurodivergent and a minor

I don't think that is what that slogan means.

It means that you cannot provide a non-arbitrary justification for why the settler state is allowed to create and enforce the borders in the first place. It's just special pleading based on the contingent results of military victories and lawfare

Same pfp but I really doubt it's the same person

This is in the comments under a video from one of those slop drama channels about how some YouTubers movie is being unfairly suppressed

Never thought I'd see people being vaguely conspiratorial about "Hollywood" in the comments of a YouTube video and casting Hollywood as a right-wing force

Hollywood out here pretending people went to see Melania. bro they showed it in a cinema near me and they never even turned the movie on because NOBODY booked a ticket.

Left leaning low social trust populism continues apace
