Ongoing problem of political consultants thinking they’re strategic geniuses because they hitched their wagon to a once-in-a-generation charismatic talent.
Carville and Clinton, Axelrod and Obama, and now Katz and Mamdani.

Folks, Zohran Mamdani—smart guy, reminds me of a young me—you know what he said, I told him, “Zohran, I’m gonna do it, I’m gonna say the shahada,” and he said to me “Mr. President, you should say a third line confirming your belief in the wilayat of Ali,” should we do it folks? Should we say it?

“We can’t do congressional restricting because it could give our primary challengers more time to campaign against us” … is exactly why these Maryland Dems deserve to be primaried.
If they can’t be persuaded to put fighting back against Republican power grabs ahead of self interest, they need to go

Andy Harris's safe district exists as it does primarily because former no. 2 ranked House Democrat Steny Hoyer doesn't want a majority-minority district he could lose in a primary

"I can't believe anyone would sincerely care about dark-skinned foreigners, so if you say you do, you must be lying" is the ultimate underlying view.
The people who say "why this obsession with Palestine? why don't you post about Sudan?" never post about Sudan themselves.
What they mean is "it's fine you don't care about Sudan. You should be similarly indifferent to Palestine"
(of course, many people do post about both and other crises)

I genuinely don't know how to explain to liberals they're meant to consider the people under the bomber not the ones driving it in this image
I hate this sort of meme.
“The only difference between the parties is whether the power to destroy human civilization rests in the hands of leaders who think gays, women, and black people should have their rights acknowledged.”
Even if true, how is Rainbow B-52 not infinitely preferable?

I'll do another thread on it as it's worth a stand-alone, but some examples from CNU's Housing + Transportation Affordability Index.
As you can see, Springfield, MO is shockingly affordable!!! And dying.
Meanwhile, due to the cost of driving mandates, the Denver suburbs *cost more than Denver*

These 20 House Democrats just joined Republicans in voting to fully repeal DC's police reform laws.
Wiping off the books critical laws on use of force, transparency, and preventing violent cops from getting rehired.
They think that they should have more say over DC police than the people of DC.

After the last decade of "surely THIS will stop Donald Trump", the doomers have a roughly 10000:2 score on predicting how things will go (the 2020 election and foiling the 2021 coup attempt are the two points in favor of something actually stopping Trump)

right, and the thing about selling out on abortion is that, really, is ezra klein selling anything out himself? no, he's selling someone else out.
but I also think that Klein et al regard "selling out on abortion" as respectable and "selling out on antivax" as tinfoil-hat-humiliating, and that's why the "dems may have to make hard choices . . . like running pro-life candidates" is such a refrain even though it's from another era altogether

you make that sound like its an invalid approach but to me "trying, sometimes hopelessly, to figure out after the fact why it is i like or dislike a movie" is the point of criticism! bsky.app/profile/algi...
You know how when someone writes a review of a movie, it's either all good or all bad? That's because people instinctively like or dislike a movie, then after the fact look for reasons why they felt like that. This essay is that kind of after the fact justification on steroids.
