I know people with very strong opinions on Al Roker, just saying.

BTW without getting too deep into it, this stuff is definitely why I cringe when people put Israel in scare quotes, or draw a 1:1 comparison between Israel and the US, because that land is Eretz Yisrael as much as it is Palestine, independent of the crimes of Medinat Yisrael.

A while back I wrote about the difference between Eretz, Medinat, and Am Yisrael and then I probably deleted it when I was manically erasing my digital footprint in the spring but look it up some time because these are different yet interconnected things.

Yeah I do feel like a lot of the reason they both lost was more on their personalities than their ideas as candidates (unlike Bill Clinton and Obama who are very charismatic), but like … OK, if we’re playing 20/20 hindsight what would they have done to keep the party on this more left tack?
