The historian in me feels the need to note that contests between cities and their rural hinterland are not new things and they do not generally go great for the rural folks.
California alone produces a third of all the food America eats. So this is a lie.
But let’s break down the food produced by the red states:
Guess what percent is harvested by people from Latin America?

All of you need some Zhou Enlai in your life whether he was talking about ‘69 and 1789, it is too early to tell was probably the right answer. So don’t try to call the future today, the past hasn’t even been settled yet

Georgia Democrats had not won a statewide race that wasn't for a federal office since 2006.
They won two races tonight, both against GOP incumbents.
The margins? 62% to 38% in both.

Some of them aren’t manufactured on this case and I am not talking about the tattoo.
This is true. But also the controversy has broader meaning and will influence how other campaign controversies will play out. There is value in sharpening your arguments about some issues against the whetstone of these manufactured controversies.
One more time for the people in the back: if a campaign is nationalized by controversy and you are seeing a flash pan cottage industry defending or condemning at candidate you can’t vote for, It’s about getting funds to go into consulting and lists. /1

what is it that makes the fascists of today different from yesterday? who are they? why do they seem to love america so much? the answer is, ANGLOFASCISM. The answer is in Britain and in Austria and in Engelbert Dolfuss. lets learn
ANGLOFASCISM
In 1933, Austrian chancellor Engelbert Dolfuss, a short, generally unpopular man, founded a political party. Out of right-wing militias, traditional conservative parties, and landed estates, he put together an organisation called the Fatherland Front, which ruled the tiny, dysfunctional Republic of Austria (rechristened the Federal State of Austria) for five years until 1938, when Dolfuss’s successor Schuschnigg was removed from office during the Nazi…

If you claim to be a social democrat in 2025 you are larping as much as people who think you can bring back the Carolingians. This is also true for: classical liberals, Keynesians, pre-Deng Marxist-Leninism, libertarians, left populists, most anarchists, etc

None of you know how a senator is likely to vote once elected if they have no track record, but you do know they will have to find patrons to keep their seat, which means you know what they aren’t likely to do.

What you are actually seeing that supposedly a debate on the left is just which part of the 20th century project you want to be hoodwinked by which you have no means of bringing about. A lot of people benefit from such a project.

If people are concerned about what Chorus and Sixteen-Thirty find was astroturfing, or what the various PACs around the Abundance movement are doing, they should look at what Middle Seat has done for the Justice Dems and Leaders We Deserve, their biggest victory: Fetterman.
