final grafs. "Get a grip" because we've been through this before. But nobody is arguing that Trump profiting off of office is what spells the end of the republic. And also I think it's worse than "suboptimal" lol.

In its article about how mainstream conservative figures are laundering white supremacy, The New York Times quotes, as its very first expert, the racist Richard Hanania. Just wild. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/u...

I would say crafting elaborate lies to launch a catastrophic war of aggression -- and never being held to account for it -- is a crisis of American democracy.

Cuomo's closing argument appears to be that a vote for him is a vote for collaboration with a fascistic regime, which will be more peaceful for New Yorkers.

I certainly get why "preachy" is annoying, but I would certainly not come to this conclusion if I had to choose between these two when it comes to *running the government* and *access to the most powerful nuclear arsenal in the world*. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/02/o...

I'm so sick of this imbecilic argument. There is a simple explanation for why American leftists/anti-Zionists pay exceptional attention to Israel's domination of the Palestinians: because Israel gets more support from the U.S. than any other country in the world.

In the eyes of Silicon Valley, it's "punk" to back soulless plagiarizing machines displacing artists and producing junk. These people have no understanding of the human experience & "the establishment" they're rebelling against is real people, real labor and real culture.
