Pretty much no one can make their ideas clear to others on the 1st attempt. The two main reactions are "let's painstakingly clarify this with some back and forth", and "doesn't matter as long as the various interpretations are themselves interesting", leading to the 2 main branches of philosophy.

Not sure which dem senators to primary? I propose the Murphy/Osoff rule: if they vote to the right of Chris Murphy and represent a blue state, or to the right of Jon Osoff and represent a swing state, they need to get gone.

Really seeing once again, it seems, that the real divide in the Democratic coalition is not left/lib/moderate or anything like that.
It's the fight/no-fight divide. And the 'fight' dems are the ones winning elections.

The rise of Zohran Mamdani, who will calmly and kindly explain-and embody-the difference between criticizing Israel and being antisemitic to every single person on the planet if need be, must really suck for all of the bad actors who have spent so much time trying to make the world conflate the two.
I do not believe that anti-Zionism is antisemitic, and I have consistently argued against those who say it is, but if you see the act of condemning anti-Diaspora antisemitism as inherently Zionist and pro-Israel, you are really telling on yourself.
The pro-Palestine group Within Our Lifetime has already decided that Zohran Mamdani has sold out the pro-Palestine cause... by condemning swastikas drawn on a Jewish day school in Brooklyn. forward.com/culture/7822...

These guys want to claim an ancient past about which they know next to nothing, assuming that it supports their ideas - which they imagine to be ancient when they are dismally modern - even though Rome was perhaps the greatest example in all history of strength through diversity.

You might think (re: evopsych) that can't be right, our brains are products of evolution and not at all affected by the position of planets or stars at your birth
Yet despite these facts evopsych tells stories about how the brain evolved that are just as vacuous as the predictions in your horoscope

“They must allow ministers to assist with their needs. They've been separated from their families and no one knows what happens.”
