Saw a post that called for nuance on Russian culture given the country's war with Ukraine. And I think maybe there's some merit for it, but in conjunction with Israel and Eurovision (or previously SA's cultural boycott) it's a stance you ought to have some consistency about

A piss poor argument when you're trying to say that European voters didn't know that Von der Leyen's ability to stay as EU Commissioner depends on the make-up of the EU Parliament

As someone unaware of the whole Zack Hadel thing I'm picking up that he either has or had edgy right wing humour credentials and/or political views. Odd considering that my friend who watches it religiously is the exact opposite kind of demographic

Countries aligned to the US need to reckon with the fact that continuing to prop up its image leads to this kind of anti-civic, anti-democratic, anti-fact rot being imported to their politics

Capitalism is always given the grace to reflect and reform, but socialism is immediately deemed to be archaic and uninformed the moment it oversees a failure similar to that under a capitalist system. Very unfair if you ask me

If 8 Senate Dems can nullify the consensus of Democratic voters, then their frustration is very much justifiable.
The consensus view among the Dem base is:
-normie mainstream liberalism
-unremitting, fire-breathing, hardline anti-Trumpism
The factions that exist outside of this consensus have a strong incentive to essentially act as if it’s not an option, and you must choose either leftism or accommodationism

Do pollsters have no interest in the Green Party's electoral coalition since @zackpolanski.bsky.social took over? Or will it just be blinkers on until 2029 and we'll just pretend that there isn't such a thing as Prime Minister if he gets into No. 10

I think maybe something worth taking into consideration when people talk about a two state solution is that there are lots of considerations and criteria for the conventional definition of a state that Palestinians are rarely - if ever - afforded. What state do you know that has porous borders?
