It really is. Here's the video where I first learned about the Bronze Age Collapse:

Like, if it were the 1970s and you wanted a vague explanation of what you've been doing, you might say "hitchhiking across Europe". In the 80s it would have been "cocaine, lots of cocaine". In the 90s, "checking out the grunge scene in Seattle". And in 1190 BCE it was "laying waste to Egypt".

ALSO: when Odysseus finally returned home in disguise, he told a tale of how he used to have a ship and he plundered Egypt for a while. Now, if you're trying to be covert, why spin a really wild outlandish tale? You'd come up with something ordinary.

One of the Sea Peoples was known as "Ekwesh" in such writings as have survived, and archaeologists think that Ekwesh = Achaean. The timing lines up. The action of fleets battering empires on the eastern rim of the Mediterrean lines up.
The Israelites heading for Egypt due to famine lines up too.

Here's my favorite cover, written about the walls of Troy. Crazy fact: The Iliad might be an account of the Bronze Age Collapse but told from the perspective of the mysterious Sea People.

I've listened to this thing 300 million times since it dropped. As far as I know, the entire thing was electronically composed, including the vocal tracks.

Then of course, some white guy will follow your lead and everyone will hail him as a voice of civil rights. Sorry, I know that's not fair. But even so, the more people we get affirming out loud that Democrats protect people, the better off we'll be.
Plus, Nina Turner will blow another gasket.

I believe most Democrats want the reassurance that the Democratic Party still stands against bigotry and protects those at risk.
You could be the person who stands up and says it. Your constituents will love you for it. You might even inspire other Democrats to stand up and join you.

I would even give Harris a pass on acting like the Gazan people are poor innocent lambs who don't like what Hamas is doing. That'd be like saying the KKK operated without the support of white people. But it should be a no-brainer to denounce Hamas and keep the focus on stopping Hamas.

That it was a calculation at all, is kind of offensive. You stand and do the right thing simply because it is the right thing, not because it would be politically convenient to sound sympathetic to people who go on rape and murder sprees.
