Well, what we really need to avoid is closer to the end of the republic, when the soldiers became clients of plutocratic patrons more so than the elected officials! (but no, not paying your soldiers never ends well)

And apparently, yes, I misplaced the hyphen. Je suis désolé.

LRT: I am extremely sad to see the quote is from Bernard Henri-Levy, a thinker that I have otherwise admired when I encountered his writing in the past

The way all of these people convinced themselves that Mamdani is antisemitic is a subject far more worthy of media examination than any of the ‘groupthink on campuses!’ thinkpieces we’ve been subjected to

This isn't a closing election argument, it's Vidkun Quisling explaining why surrender is better than resistance.

I like that when we hired Dusty everybody was trying to project roster construction like "well he clearly likes to play 4 switchable ball handlers 6'2" - 6'6" and 1 Ent" and then in Year 1 it was the double-Ent PnR offense and in Year 2 he's just collecting Ents like infinity stones

DTW has a sign up outside the security lanes disavowing the TSA’s recorded media content on the grounds that the airport does not want to engage in “partisan politics”, in case anyone’s wondering how things are going in the US

dissatisfied by the New York Times coverage of Zohran Mamdani?

great news! I talked to the guy Thursday about his campaign’s success at bringing community together beyond this election, and contextualized how it’s potentially shifted youth engagement with politics by simply listening @teenvogue.com

Zohran Mamdani's Establishment-Fighting Campaign Built Community for Young People

“What Mamdani has done is not only inspire and mobilize young people, but he has exposed the establishment and some of their calcified views of participation and inclusion.”

The solution to one party saying they hate half of America isn't the other party seeking common ground with that party. It's the other party saying they want a better America for everyone, and anyone who agrees should vote for them.

I will never understand the pundit obsession with getting Democrats to solve "political division."

Not only is this what they're already doing, but Klein admits that Republicans will never do the same. So elections will remain constant GOP smears and simping Democratic promises of bipartisanship.

Ezra Klein

This Is the Way You Beat Trump — and Trumpism

I saw a poll a few weeks ago that struck me. It was from The New York Times and Siena University. It asked Americans what they thought the top problem facing the country was. No. 1 was the economy. That was what I expected. But No. 2 wasn’t immigration or inflation or democracy or climate change or even Trump. It was political division. In that same poll, 64 percent of the country said we’re too divided to solve our problems. They’re not wrong.

I hear it when Trump says, “I hate my opponent and I don’t want the best for them.” When I hear that, I hear something scary, but I also hear an opening, an opportunity: In the end, most Americans want America to work. They know we disagree with one another. They don’t want us to hate one another.

The “Person who wants a political party to lose describes what that political party must do to win” genre of article is just incredibly insulting to everyone’s intelligence yet it will persist until the end of time
