Unreal. Both the Democratic "Moderate Party" candidates quoted here lost by 8 points while the most important city in the country, one county over, elected a Muslim socialist immigrant for mayor

The Moderate Party is a rejection of political extremism, Kerpen said, seeking to better represent the entire local constituency and reach those voters who reside in the middle.

“We humans like to make labels, but for me it’s important to note that most people really are moderate in their thinking,” Kerpen said.

The five tenets of the Moderate Party are fiscal responsibility with social compassion, safe neighborhoods and smart criminal justice reform, public education, environmental action and transparency.

Kerpen, a Democrat who considers himself a fiscal conservative with social liberalism stances, said his political stance has not been easily defined as just left or right.

County Legislator Seth Koslow, who is running for Nassau’s County executive as a Democrat, said the main question he is asked on the campaign trail is about his political party. But he said just describing himself as a Democrat doesn’t cut it.

“Because you don’t know what I am as a Democrat,” Koslow said. “You don’t know if I’m super liberal or super conservative as a Democrat, if I’m pro this or anti that. By looking at the Moderate Party, it’s without saying anything else where I stand on issues.”

Man I can think of a lot of gaming series that have worn out their welcome harder than Dynasty Warriors. Dynasty Warriors fans are also very realistic about managing their expectations for these types of games lol.

The problem with frozen burritos is that the only way to get them fully warmed up is in the microwave. And like, we have moved on. We have air fryers now. Frozen food doesn't need to taste like crap reheated.

People just have contempt for others that they feel are "undeserving" of "free stuff" - one of the major problems with means tested entitlement programs vs. universal coverage

I found a voter after the 1966 Georgia elections who said he had voted for only two candidates -- segregationist Lester Maddox for governor and civil rights activist Julian Bond for Georgia House of Representatives -- because they were the only ones who seemed sincere.

The existence of this photograph (which is a real photo of a real person at a Mamdani campaign event) is enough to establish for me that voters writ large have absolutely no grasp of what policy is or how any given policy impacts their lives. It's all vibes.

it’s a miniature of the obama panic. it’s not about policy. it’s about a deeply ingrained sense of the social order - who gets power, how much, and what they’re expected to do to get it - being overturned.

have to admit that I don’t understand the absolute hysteria about Zohran Mamdani from the right. it’s not like we have no precedent for left-wing mayors in America. that NYC somehow feels the need to keep electing cranks instead of normie progressives has always baffled me.
