Ottawan. Nortelian telecom captive. Political junkie. Poke-checker. Trans rights are human rights.
Never mind.

Ully’s waking up. Tchuky and Stu starting to come to life.

Is there really that much pro-trans messaging coming from Democratic candidates and representatives? I don’t see it. They’re just not actively threatening to trample on the rights of trans people.

Affordable housing and single-payer health care is how you persuade some red hats to stop voting against their self-interest.

What a winning strategy.

A 3rd way choice couldn’t survive just drawing off Dem voters on the Palestine issue alone. That doesn’t mean running back the Dem’s tired old third way centrist platform. But it does mean having a real platform. Stein’s running simply as a disruptor. You don’t have enough runway to win.
September 20, 2025 at 2:13 PM
Yeah. Don’t elect Biden.
September 20, 2025 at 2:07 PM
Pragmatist. Your choice is a narrow path through a field of much worse outcomes. You want tactics? Work on a way to draw support from the MAGA crowd as much as from liberals. The election isn’t a one-issue referendum.

I can conceive of a wave of disenfranchised voters successfully backing and independent candidate and breaking up the rule of global kleptocracy and nationalist zealots. I wish that path had a chance to succeed.
September 20, 2025 at 1:53 PM
Yeah, that your option is to burn it all down. It was evident from the start.
September 20, 2025 at 1:49 PM
What are you doing? Pushing Jill Stein?

What could you be doing? Back a dem nominee that supports your cause, is beholden to small donors. Donate, volunteer.
September 20, 2025 at 1:46 PM
I think you’re choosing to lose.
September 20, 2025 at 1:30 PM
Did I advocate putting your faith in the Dems? I said they have reps that don’t act like they’re beholden to PACs and big donors. That have called Israel’s acts in Gaza and Palestine a genocide. Unless you believe they’re some kind of controlled opposition, the best bet is boosting them.

Are you a nihilist? A Russian troll?
September 20, 2025 at 1:04 PM
True. But you’re not going to get there with a dictator POTUS. The Democratic Party still has some representatives that listen to their base and don’t act in fear of being primaries.
September 20, 2025 at 12:50 PM
Tactics matter. The anti-Democratic push put a more brazenly pro-Netanyahu establishment in place.

Soundtrack rocks.

Name checks out.

23. Haven’t been to the territories. Was supposed to make a Nahani trip, but medical issues in the group nixed that plan.

What foreign tourism?
July 4, 2025 at 4:36 AM
It’s a tweet. With a picture of a shipping container. Nowhere does it say that they will be transported in a shipping container.
July 4, 2025 at 4:29 AM
Yeah, like I said, it says they were detained in a structure that resembles a converted shipping container. It does not describe how they will be transported. Let me know if I’m missing a link to that description?
I mean, it’s all terrible enough already. But we should keep facts straight.
