Zohran Mamdani won the primary by double digits. Eric Adams squeaked by with 0.8% and we had to suffer endless thinkpieces on why his conservative center-right politics was the "real future" of the Democratic party.
we can chalk it up to youth and inexperience but the biggest mistake the mamdani campaign made was winning by 8.8% and not 1.5%, which is the margin needed for the media to say it’s a total mandate

A great day for the golden rule of political analysis: when the right wins it is a resounding ideological victory that humiliates the left and when the left wins it is a precarious fluke that will surely end up humiliating the left. Conservatives are power’s landlords and the left merely tenants

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

Remember, we learned in 2021 that a win by the out party in a Virginia gubernatorial election fully nullifies any presidential mandate. I don’t make the rules

We strongly condemn @CondéNast’s consolidation plans for Teen Vogue, a move that is clearly designed to blunt the award-winning magazine’s insightful journalism at a time when it is needed the most. More from our statement:

(correctly) pointing out how badly this misunderstands the Revolution misses the point. These people have no coherent ideology and aren't trying to; they digest any imagery involving a heroic individual doling out violence and imagine themselves doing it to whoever they insist deserves it.

This is a US citizen and father who served in our armed forces.
He was tear-gassed, pepper-sprayed, pinned to the ground, then imprisoned naked for three days with no explanation—during or since.

Jake Tapper you little bitch, come out here and explain why it's not a big deal that the President is talking about how taking the Montreal Cognitive Test is "very hard".
Trump: AOC is low IQ. If you give her an IQ test, have her pass like the exams that I decided to take when I was at Walter Reed. Those are very hard…

Graham Platner reminds us that the consistent stumbling block for the progressive cause is not the centrist or liberal, but a lack of respect for marginalized communities to whom they feel no allegiance, yet demand their obsequi. And when those communities don't fall in line they're called stupid...

Look I am just saying that if we simply threw women, Black folks, immigrants, LGBTQ people, Muslims and other minorities under the bus we could go back to discussing the class-based white people politics that I, a white male pundit, am most comfortable discussing. Is that so hard?

I'm just a lowly art historian, but in moments like these I always think back to one early sign of Trump's wanton, pointless destructiveness: his demolition of the priceless & irreplaceable Art Deco relief sculptures on facade of the Bonwit Teller building, which he tore down to build Trump Tower

speaking of the ACA, I'm so old I can remember when Joe Lieberman killed the public option, and Ezra Klein accused him of being "willing to cause the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people in order to settle an old electoral score," and the entire DC media fainted simultaneously

Political parties must shift immediately and dramatically to the left to avoid alienating these frustrated and abandoned young women. Am I doing this right?
Our recent poll found that women 28 and younger skew substantially more left than the national average. Nearly 80 percent of Gen Z women want abortion to be legal and seven in 10 want gender-affirming care to be accessible for trans adults.
Gen Z women are the most liberal group in the country
On issues like abortion and gender-affirming care, women 28 and younger skew substantially more left than the national average.
