It was correct to speak of safety when the Unite The Right march bellowed "Jews Will Not Replace Us," or when a mass shooter gunned our people down at the Tree of Life synogogue. It is not correct to do so when a man who's spoken very respectfully of Jews (but cirticized Israel) wins an election

This is worse than the worst thing ever attributed to any “Bernie Bro”. The Democratic leader literally refusing to say WHETHER HE VOTED FOR THE DEMOCRAT.
this shit right here is wrecker shit, as much as wrecker shit as any online leftist has done, if not more so. no wonder so many people are repulsed by anyone (rightly) saying 'vote blue no matter who', the most powerful elected Dem in the nation won't do it! it undermines the whole coalition! jfc

Single-member districts unavoidably mean the tyranny of the map. You can try to be a benevolent dictator about it, and that's certainly preferable to a malignant one, but you're still deciding the vast majority of the results before a single vote is cast.

It must be so weird trying to explain to young people what politics was like before all this.
Like, how candidates used to genuinely shake hands and compliment each other in debates. Or what qualified as a scandal years ago. Can they grasp that?

NEW @motherjones.com: Nobody in that GOP group chat praising Hitler or making racist comments was a “kid,” as JD Vance claimed today
I tracked down their ages. (Weirdly, it seems nobody else did.)
Eight of the 11 in the group chat range from 24 to 35. Ages of others are unclear.
But… no “kids”!
