I don’t know if the right will ever stop using socialism & communism as scare words. But it’s time for moderate Dems to stop flinching every time the right yells “Democrat socialist” Start learning the lessons right in front of them from Mamdani’s candidacy and his win.
It’s affordability, stupid‼️

His “peace plan” is a Russian wish list which requires Ukraine to surrender huge parts of their country and remain vulnerable to future Russian invasions.
…and he’s mad they are not thanking him for it.

Goed commentaar in de VK. Kwestie van tijd voordat de hooghartigheid van de VVD, die na 2x verlies zich opnieuw als royalty gedraagt, zich tegen die partij gaat keren. Ondernemend Nederland snakt naar een stabiele regering na een jaar PVV/VVD/BBB wanbestuur. www.volkskrant.nl/politiek/rob...

De VVD gijzelt het land voor de DERDE KEER. Eerst door met leugens het kabinet te laten ploffen ( nareis op nareis) toen door de deur voor de PVV open te zetten en nu gijzelt ze het land door de PvdA uit te sluiten. Hopenlijk pikken D66 en het CDA dit niet.

When I worked in WaPo Opinions in 2017-2018, senior editors specifically told junior editors not to factcheck Marc Thiessen and other MAGA columnists, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to publish anything by them at all, and “we need them for intellectual diversity.”
It’s very telling that opening your publication to MAGA “thought” requires a massive downgrade in quality control.

The President of the United States is so upset about his failed campaign for a Nobel Prize that he's now trying to claim someone else's prize as his own.

Het idee dat ‘verstandige asielmaatregelen’, in welke constellatie ook, een einde maakt aan de extreemrechtse hondsdolheid is volstrekt naïef. Die wordt namelijk niet veroorzaakt door reëele zorgen maar door online propaganda.

Ik vroeg mijn tienjarige wat ze van het Jeugdjournaal-debat vond. Wilders zei wel dat hij 'niet tegen moslims' was, maar wat hij eigenlijk bedoelde, begreep ze niet: 'hij gebruikte moeilijke woorden' en ze kreeg er een naar gevoel van.
