Bernie Sanders and Keir Starmer are totally aligned in believing that the white male working class voter should ‘naturally’ be the core constituency for their politics, and equally aligned in having absolutely no idea how to reach them

Sort of funny how “middle class guy obsessed with winning the working class guy vote and totally incapable of it” is now just an archetype that spans the international left of centre from your Marxists to your McSweeneys

This is probably the only area where AOC agrees with JD Vance and Josh Hawley.

Everyone makes fun of the incel "government redistribution of girlfriends" proposal but the state did in fact force women to marry mediocre men by not letting them have a bank account or own property in their name and they don't have to take us that many steps backwards to get there.

Could she, I dunno, pass a bill or two as a primary sponsor in the meantime? She's been pretty good about amendments, but going directly from "junior House member" to "President" seems ripe for failure.
Ok, the big one on her ambitions: "And so I think oftentimes the discussions about speculation, etc, are so narrow, because frankly I think the ambitions of a progressive movement goes so far beyond elected office." That's... not a "no" about 2028.

So they saw Gaza suffering and thought "I know what will fix this, installing a guy who wants Gaza to suffer more!"
I do not understand how this logic works.

AOC says she told President Biden about Gaza: "What people are seeing is this entire argument for democracy fall apart."

So then why do so many populists *right now* on the far-left and far-right tell similar sets of lies?
"The alternative is a populist movement that tells the truth, a populist movement that says, this is an injustice. You are being screwed over, and that story is not a cultural one, but a class one," which gets a huge pop.

My main opinion on Graham Platner is if there was a 41 year old guy running in the Republican primary for the Maine Senate seat and it turned out that he had a Nazi tattoo for 15 years and then he claimed that he just didn't know it was a Nazi tattoo, none of you would ever stop screaming about it.

AOC on why Trump returned to office: "when you have economic stagnation, for the working class that, especially in an environment where GDP is growing, that is the stuff of populist movement. The choice is what direction those populist movements can go."

The *one* aspect I'll agree with is that I do tend to just kinda fire off a task and check back in when I would otherwise have fully logged off for the evening.
After all, all it is is agent churn time, it's not really sapping *my* time or energy to go "yep, looks good" or "nope, change that".
