i'm tired of people telling me that the houston texans aren't real. obviously they are not real in the literal sense. i don't think anyone is saying they are. but they impart lessons that have a lot of truth to them. god never intended them to be taken at face value

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

This is tied up in the idea that in the United States there are no poor people, there are just temporarily embarrassed millionaires (to quote Steinbeck). The right in the US has done very well in selling the myth of the American Dream, and mostly to the detriment of those dreaming of it.
It is extremely frustrating to talk about something like a wealth cap tied to 100x the minimum wage over a lifetime career, and people’s kneejerk reaction is “but what if that affects me?” and I can promise you that you aren’t making $180million (to use California as an example)

this is really such a disgrace -- like, even if you take the absolute dimmest view of the office of the Presidency, even if you take the position it's a disgraceful office to hold in the first place, this is hundreds of floors beneath it. to not feel shame about this is to have no shame at all
The United States is seeking to steal the sovereignty of Brazil, there's really no other way to describe this. It's an effort to overthrow their domestic political institutions.

the other thing is that no one who fetishizes manual labor actually cares to improve life for people who are in those circumstances! no support for unionization or a generous welfare state! no interest in policies that make life easier for people who work their hands or afford them more autonomy!

If they just shit on Mamdani you could rationalize it as a unique thing to him and his candidacy but the party leaders and consultants did the same thing with AOC and even with Obama and maybe it’s time we demand that they encourage candidates that turn out the youth vote instead of impeding them

I think this is true, which is why you can expect a full-on assault on ranked choice from both major parties over the next year-plus. They'll frame it as "your vote doesn't count in ranked choice," which won't be true or make sense, but when has that stopped any of them
Feels like ranked choice was absolutely decisive in this race—not because of the vote count, but because of how it changed the incentives from zero-sum to cooperapetitive. It allowed a fractured left field to align organically through co-endorsements instead of falling into a circular firing squad.

this is the most one-sided two-option poll i can remember seeing. you could probably get 10 percent of americans to respond that installing your air conditioner backwards so that cold air blows outside will fix the environment
"Do you want America to be at war with Iran?"
No: 85%
Yes: 5%

Dems are quietly forming a think tank to help them win again
Searchlight, a name inspired by the birthplace of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, comes at a precarious moment for a Democratic Party.

The word ‘tomato’ started out as ‘tomate’ and came from the Nahuatl word ‘tomatl.’
Since the potato had been introduced to the English some decades earlier, the word evolved to mimic the form of ‘potato’—hence the spelling ‘tomato.’

Republicans in our Budget Committee just tried to shove through Trump's 'Big, Beautiful' budget betrayal.
They FAILED.
I voted against this cruel proposal and will continue to stand against any budget that makes everyday, working Americans sicker, hungrier, and poorer.
