My granny and grandpa had several huge pecan trees in their back yard in south Texas. Every Thanksgiving visiting them as a kid, my cousins and i ran around collecting buckets and buckets of pecans. I love pecans. By themselves and in chocolate chip cookies.

To be blunt, most people's lesson from "listen to marginalized voices" was "find the first person who claims to be marginalized and agrees with my priors and use it as a permission structure to call the ones who disagree with me uncle toms"
I genuinely do not think it is possible for non marginalized people to uplift marginalized voices at least through something as crude as social media shares. I Basically never see someone share a marginalized perspective they disagree with, so then all you are doing is amplifying your own view.
But people like MRO are doing the whole "Listen 👏 to 👏 Palestinians" and presenting their most deranged poasters, kinda like the weird Hasbarah accounts who do the same thing with Jews, and the Jewish Voice you should Listen to ends up being Meir freaking Kahane ימ"ש

We also really can't forget the ~20% who seem to be motivated by a desire to abuse, subjugate, or dominate others, even if it means the in-group get fewer treats, because seeing the out-group get hit with sticks is a sufficient carrot for them
LBJ's "lowest white man" quote was dead-on

So many popular theories of politics are guided by open contempt for the electorate and nothing else. “Just give the dumb schmucks more treats and they’ll love you” - what if that’s wrong, actually? What if human beings are often guided by ideas and beliefs?
Obamacare should have included a provision where everybody gets mailed a $100 prepaid debit card every year they can use exclusively to purchase medications; dim Midwesterners who vote for President based on their opinion of the infield fly rule love that shit.

I think people should realize here that Mark Kelly is a very savvy politician who doesn't really move from where his constituents are and is notoriously careful because he's a democrat from Arizona.
The fact that he's doing this isn't just presidential ambition, it means his voters want it.

Mark Kelly: "My wife, Gabby Giffords, meeting with her constituents, shot in the head. Six people killed around her, a horrific thing. She spent six months in the hospital. We know what political violence is and we know what causes it too, The statements that Donald Trump made incites others."

I hope that everyone who wrote that Dems were the Forever War Party and that Trump was a peace candidate gets drafted
*aggressive whinging noises*: "Yes I was completely fucking wrong and everyone could tell at the time I was wrong and I'm a giant credulous dipshit but have you considered: he SAID he was the anti-war candidate and that was all that really mattered but of COURSE it was always dubious"

if Mamdani working with people from YIMBY groups (a thing that is *very* obvious for him to do) pisses off Kate Willett, i wish him a long career in Dem politics
Mamdani will be having private conversations, and he will have information that the public does not have access to
I'm curious whether people will continue to trust him or if they'll assume he's betraying his voters any time he does something non-obvious

So, the way politics works is that Mamdani is going to encounter a significant roadblock sooner or later. He simply will. My money is that it will be the NYPD, but it might be landlords or something else.
When that happens, I'd better not see anyone whining about how he's betraying anyone.
