I agree with this in principle, but also Mamdani *is* at least one in 500,000. He's just astoundingly fast, on point, personable, photogenic & he genuinely loves people AND he's done ALL the reading so you CANNOT trip him up.
YES, many more people can win than we imagine.
But he's still special.

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

Have you considered kicking out the people who gave up the fight and picking a new leader who is capable of leading the same

But there are real dangers out there that must be fought; and energy spent fighting each other is energy lost to that bigger fight.

It’s wild to suggest this is a circular firing squad or something when it’s millions of citizen Democrats who hate it versus 47 elected Democrats who conspired to surrender for nothing.
We’re not fighting “each other,” we’re fighting you. There’s only a few dozen of you, but you hold all the power.

Ah, creating a legal entitlement for $500K for some elderly millionaires because they being investigated for their role in an insurrection *in exchange for* a show vote to make health care affordable.
Look at this new outrage. To open govt, we're retroactively letting 8 Senators sue for $500K each over having had their J6 phone toll records looked at. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/10/u...

I know this is an obvious and old point, but it still shocks me how quickly the culture of the GOP has come to defined by the absurd personality type of the "toad-licking, ass kissing alpha." Amazing that they've built an audience that finds such deportment appealing, rather than disqualifying.

We’re all trying to figure out who controls the democratic Senate caucus, because that person should resign.
I will not support the Republican bill that’s on the Senate floor because it fails to do anything of substance to fix America’s healthcare crisis.

To believe that Chuck Schumer disliked the deal but let enough of his caucus members vote for it to pass, you'd have to disclaim any knowledge of how politics works.
This is a planted story that puts the best light on a bad situation.

This isn't "internal recriminations." It's voters expressing overwhelming opposition to what the people they elected to represent them are doing, and anyone--either in journalism or politics--who characterizes it as infighting is either not seeing and hearing what's right in front of them or lying.

7. Genspect markets Joyce’s lecture as a lesson on “how ideological beliefs have replaced objective standards,” and that viewers “will come away with a deeper understanding of how to defend evidence-based practice.”

They told us to make phone calls, attend meetings with our representatives, and to take to the streets. So we did. Then we went without education, social services and food. We fight Nazis in the street. And we were just starting to learn mutual aid so we could hold out longer. What did they do?
