Perfect Texas joke
goodbye White Settlement, hello "Racialized-as-white Settlement"
This race was such a massive swing blowout that Democrat Taylor Rehmet literally won a city called White Settlement

To me, the focus of democratic party strategy over the next two years must be coming up with plans for making thermostatic public opinion work for them. If we can preserve fair elections, there will be at least one and possibly two blue waves in our future. The problem is that we've had them -

It's been really fun to watch Klay Thompson shoot the bball this month. I always wondered how he'd do without Steph taking all the defensive attention

Y'know who NBA people never talk about anymore is Kevin Martin. Averaged nearly 20 for a lot of years, retired with a 38.4% 3-pt shooting percentage....

I think maybe your average normie dem (Klobuchar) doesn’t understand that affordability arguments work when the person making them seems sincere, NOT when they seem like they’re making a galaxy brain move to avoid talking about ICE

Again what always strikes me about the Epstein stuff is that the problem for a lot of conservatives, and probably a lot of men in general, is that they don't know that they simultaneously think pedophilia is wrong but having sex with a lot of women of barely legal age is actually really cool

To Noam Chomsky? Based on something Chomsky told him? While defending James Watson? Gross!
Jeffrey Epstein sent a link to the white nationalist podcast The Right Stuff, whose core hosts played an active role in the 2017 “Unite the Right” rally. He did so in February 2016. Before TRS made national news, really.
Genuinely bizarre.

It’s all performance with the Dems and that’s the problem. Sure they’re doing this bc they might get this and they wouldn’t get other stuff. But they just seem like they’re doing what they think we want them to do rather than having principles all the time.
"The Democrats are pushing reforms that they know won’t work because they are doing performative, perfunctory opposition to try to quiet their base, instead of real legislating and fighting to dismantle Trump’s ICE and CBP." newrepublic.com/article/2059...
Senate Democrats’ ICE Proposals Are a Huge and Inexcusable Whiff
Their opening bid should have been eight or 10 bold proposals. But as usual, the Democrats start by negotiating with themselves.

The funny thing is she was in the democratic primary in 2020!
Two officials told Wall Street Journal reporters that Gabbard’s report is designed to bolster executive orders about voting before the midterm elections.

What’s especially crazy about this is even if they don’t believe in higher ed THEY KNOW IT MAKES PEOPLE MORE LIKELY TO VOTE FOR THEM. If the GOP something like that, it’d be illegal not to do it
Yes, this has been my beef for a long time. It would be nice if Democrats would respond to rightwing attacks on higher education by investing in higher ed in a more meaningful way, but they don’t.
The problem is that blue states are fully committed to “return on investment” analysis and are fully committed to undergrad business degrees and whatever the latest tech trend is. There is no theory of holistic education supported by democratic leadership.
