The original I think would be “Alec Guinness from Star Wars”

I think everybody has a “Wallace Shawn from Young Sheldon” — my first one would probably be “Vincent Price, the guy who did the voice of Ratigan in The Great Mouse Detective”

NYC is going to have the world's biggest media-manufactured crime panic in history the second Mamdani is elected. They aren't even going to wait until he is inaugurated. Whether or not you like the guy, you need to start preparing now for the fire hose of disinformation that is about to activate.

You can tell the Dems are winning the shutdown battle because all the pundits stopped talking about the shutdown

I thought the old version of the 19 only ran every 45 min or worse (every 3rd 19 went beyond Zellman) so this was supposed to be slightly better but more reliable (since it breaks up the long route)

Yeah, I guess we would see a clearer fall off at $15 than at $7.25.

But raising the minimum wage to $15 probably helps half of all workers by either boosting them above that threshold or by benefiting from the upward pressure of competition against the minimum wage

What's the economic theory on how a federal $15 minimum wage would change this graph? I guess it would apply upward pressure on wages $15-30 ish?

The “moderate” candidate was proud to use Jefferson Davis’ desk while in the Senate and refused to cosponsor a resolution apologizing for the lack of action by the federal government against lynching during the 20th century.

He also represented MS in the senate since 1978 as a Republican

Even though both candidates were obviously bad for the Black community, one was way worse than the other, so holding one’s nose to vote for the less bad candidate is still better than not voting at all (and letting the worse candidate win)

This question reminds me of the 2014 Mississippi Senate election, in which the large Black community turned out to vote in the Republican primary to ensure the more moderate incumbent Thad Cochran survived a primary against the far-right Chris McDaniels.

I do think civil rights takes precedence over other important issues (like health care or taxes) and I think that we should vote for the candidate that will be better on civil rights.

More than 99% of the time, that will be the Democratic candidate.

Interested Milwaukee Citizen @citizenmke.bsky.social · 3d

That’s true. Outside of general elections, I’m in full support of taking a strong stand against those who would sacrifice civil rights for perceived political gain, when it goes against the very point of politics.

“Vote Blue No Matter Who” is about ensuring intra-party squabbles don’t result in a worse outcome: a Republican victory, who almost assuredly is worse on every issue than the Dem candidates in the primary

Interested Milwaukee Citizen @citizenmke.bsky.social · 3d

I do wish there was a better differentiation between primaries and general elections.

It’s one thing to write off a candidate in a primary for having terrible opinions, it’s another to continue that opposition when they’re running against Republicans.
