what is with modern dictators being terrible dancers who love to show off their horrible dance moves? what is that? is it just what happens when you have no one left to tell you the truth?

I mentioned "thought terminating cliche" and cults earlier, here we see one in action, maybe also the "dead cat" school of debate where you throw a dead cat on the table and everyone is shocked into silence
but really this is just stupid and the verbal equivalent of throwing your own poop.

It's a truism of the internet and like low information voters than having older leaders is bad, which twists whats wrong with Trump or Mitch McConnell is their age not their politics, or that everyone old has to have conservative/bad politics
which is bullshit

I hate that like the internet has nuked people's brains, I saw someone bitching about "why is the President ALWAYS! like 90!"
Obama was in his 40s, so was Bill Clinton, W was 54, just in the last 10 years have Presidents been old (and people could have voted for the 59 year old)

I think Biden's long time in the Senate and then 8 years as VP hurt him in one key way, he took on leadership like a Senate leader or the VP, as the party's sin eater, the guy everyone could rag on or who took fire, and no one protected the boss

from the 1200s till 1827 students getting a MA at Oxford had to swear an oath to never reconcile with Henry Symeonis, even long after who Henry Symeonis was was lost.
only in 1912, 85 years after the oath was abolished was Henry Symeonis' identity rediscovered, they still don't know what he did.

this is of course, not what a 50 state strategy is or has ever been,
50 state does not mean, has never meant, the candidate for President runs in all 50 states no matter what the polling says
50 state means the national party supports all 50 state parties and fights winnable elections there

She didn't come to Indiana at all. She sent Kaine who zipped into Gary, spent a few hours, and left.
The Democratic party as a whole doesn't seem to have a 50- state strategy.

just not in front of Trump himself, at least unless Trump says its fine.
Zohran Mamdani stands by calling Trump a fascist:
NBC: "[D]o you think that President Trump is a fascist?"
Mamdani: "[T]hat's something that I've said in the past. I say it today."

it is kinda amazing that the big thrust of Mamdani's campaign was "I will fight Trump!" to have really the first huge news event since he won be a warm civil meeting with... Trump.

This is real wild, I can't think? of a time, at least in modern times, that a state has tried to empty out its largest city, other than Cambodia under Pol Pot? and this is the first time "because we ran out of water"

America is at a crisis point – and every single day Donald Trump and Susan Collins plunge us further into chaos and hurt more Maine people.
We cannot afford to lose this election. I'm the only Maine Democrat to win statewide in 20 years – I know how to win and next year, I will.

So currently there are 219 Republicans and 213 Democrats
There's a special election in TN first week of Dec, I don't want to predict how that'll go
Texas-18 end of January will go Blue, NJ-11 in April
so its possible we could see a 218 to 216 House

so I theorized before there were 3 possible answers to what Mamdani was up to, this statement shows it was Door #2
Many Bernieites have long thought there was some kinda of common ground between Trump and the left on anti-elitism or something, and here it is.

Ok, pretty funny of Zohran’s people to put out the absolute model of the sort of statement that drives Bluesky absolutely *insane* to be studiously ignored On Here because of the source

I hate reading books with late 20s-30s characters who have totally nonsense jobs, like people can be living with roommates and be tight on cash without being "4 days a week part time yoga teacher at the local LGBT center" with no other gig, like... come on thats not a real job anyone can live on
