Apropos of nothing, here’s a column my dad, a WWII vet, wrote in 1989 about politicians who desecrate the flag with performative patriotism…

It is really absurd to suggest this is Stevens fault … El-Sayed is the nominee and he has made no effort to mend fences with her.
Just as he’s made no effort to mend fences with Jewish voters and waited until the last minute to reach out to Black voters.

Democrats have spent tens of millions propping up AES’s candidacy, when if Stevens had been the nominee they’d likely be spending a fraction of that.
Even if AES wins, think of the opportunities lost to expand the map because of the money wasted in Michigan
2 separate articles about what a weak campaign he's running today. Probably not a great sign.
The most infuriating part is that The Establishment is basically single-handedly propping him up with their heaving spending and popular surrogates and yet the discourse #onhere among his supporters is solely about how mean The Establishment is and how they're trying to sabotage him because some people have said some slightly critical things about his campaigns (and/or his campaign surrogate streamers) and there are some defections from completely marginal figures.

Let's be clear: this is unvarnished bigotry. It is the basest Islamophobia. It is vile and wrong, and Ted Cruz should be ashamed of himself.
Alas, he is not capable of shame.
Sen. @tedcruz (R-TX) says that if U.S. Sen. candidate Abdul El-Sayed (D-MI) is elected into the Senate and is placed in the Senate Intelligence Committee, "there is a very real risk that Americans will die as a result."

Serious question for people who throw around terms like genocide and apartheid. Have you been paying attention to how an actual Democracy like Israel works?
Jeb Fain retweeted
"Privately, multiple people who are backing El-Sayed told CNN that they think he’s lucky to be running in what appears to be such a favorable national environment for Democrats, given the shortcomings they see in his campaign"

Mao is responsible for the deaths of 10s of millions of his countrymen during peacetime. His policies killed so many people, you can see the dip in global life expectancy during the worst period of his tenure. He was a brutal, sociopathic dictator, a man who, after his wife gave birth during the Long March, discarded the infant with some peasants they passed by. Much of the increase in steel production during the most Lyskenoist of his policies came from forcing peasant to melt down all the metal they owned. People didn’t have cookware or farming tools. Famine blanketed the nation. The worst thing about Mao was that he was a cretin with terrible ideas and the power to implement them via authoritarian means.
Under “dictator” Mao, life expectancy in China increased by 30 years, literacy rates went from 20% to 70%, steel output grew from 1 million to 23 million tons, 47 million hectares of land was taken from landlords and given to peasants, and China was unified under a strong central state and got nuclear weapons.
Despite his failures, it does not take a rocket scientist to understand why Mao is revered in China.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Mao's Great Leap Forward and related policies caused an estimated 30-45 million famine deaths in 1959-1961 alone, with total excess deaths under his rule often estimated at 40 million or higher.

This ad is a Rorschach test, and Cenk’s response is to accuse the inkblot of being a radical Zionist. Everyone else with a functioning brain saw an antisemitic ad.

Leftists openly rooted for Hillary, Joe, and Kamala to lose. Yall made up fake sexual assault allegations against Joe like a week after he became the presumptive nominee. Weeks before the election yall were calling Kamala a killer. Yall celebrated on election night 2016 & 2024
Let’s be adults. Of course the centrists want progressive Democrats to lose.

Worth repeating, despite the opinions of people on here, @JaredEMoskowitz is the perfect fit for that district

Leftists in the replies crying over a statewide candidate in FLORIDA calling Cuba a dictatorship (spoiler: it is). Be serious please.
I say it plainly: I do not celebrate Castro. I call Cuba what it is, an authoritarian regime, and I will fight for the Cuban families who fled it.
Meanwhile, Ashley Moody backs deporting Cuban families back to the regime they escaped.

So there is at least one immigrant who fears for his safety in his home country who the Trump administration will let in.

As I reported hours ago, Flávio Bolsonaro has arrived safely in United States.
The mastermind behind this operation is U.S. Secretary of State @SecRubio .
From the United States, free and safe, Flávio will lead the opposition against Lula.

The online "far left" is essentially a narcissistic movement. Always motivated by attention, moral bullying, & the reward that comes from emotional control. Then there's their meth-like addiction to antisemitism. We must treat their "movement" like a gangrenous thumb. Lop it off.

Pro-democracy forces have won in Brazil and Serbia in the last few days and I so hope they win in Israel today by defeating Netanyahu. And then win next week in our midterms here. I hope and believe the global far right tide is turning.

Part of the Democratic Party’s credibility problem is that too many politicians and pundits are asking voters to follow their lead on candidates who could literally be the difference between democracy and authoritarianism. Yet many of those same voices went all in for a guy with a Totenkopf and a long history of questionable behavior, and never fully apologized for it.
In a Trumpian move, they offered little accountability or self-reflection. They just stopped talking about it. And now they’re surprised people aren’t taking their opinions seriously.
