The type of voter who is afraif of "what's happening in Dearborn" isn't going to be eager to vote for a guy named Ramaswamy. So this seems like an insane message even on its own terms.

We have in fact done this.
It's almost adorable the view non-Black people have of politics.

People use the fact that Palestinians voted for Hamas in 2005 as a permanent indictment of the character of the population (despite the majority being under 20 and barely sentient in 2005) but never apply those standards to Israelis consistently voting for a genocidal maniac
🚨🇮🇱 UPDATE: Channel 14 has updated its exit poll, projecting Benjamin Netanyahu’s bloc to reach 61 seats, securing a Knesset majority
Exit Poll Results:
🔵 Netanyahu bloc: 61 seats
🔴 Change bloc: 42 seats
🟢 Arab parties: 17 seats
61 seats needed for a majority
Avigdor Lieberman’s Yisrael Beiteinu has also fallen below the electoral threshold

abdul el sayed and every muslim person around him has been called a radical islamic jihadist terrorist every single day by the entire political spectrum since he won the primary and i haven’t seen a single think piece or major media interview of an arab voter abt how this makes them feel. arab and muslim voters combined make up almost 4% of the electorate. jewish voters make up 1.4% & many of those jewish voters aren’t zionists or will let israel get in the way of preserving american democracy. so we’ve heard endlessly from a tiny group of potential spoiler voters who aren’t getting their way on a deeply unpopular issue- why?
If you're trying to understand why so many Michigan Jewish Democrats are defecting, I wrote in August about it. It's not, per se, about foreign policy. theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0…

U.S. politicians: “israel is the only democracy in the middle east ♥️”
netanyahu’s son: “allowing brown people to vote is an existential threat”
צריך לומר את האמת. תוצאות הבחירות מוכיחות שרוב ערביי ישראל המוסלמים מזדהים כפלסטינים, מצדיקים את הטרור נגדנו, רוצים להעיף מפה את כל היהודים, שואפים להשמיד את המדינה היהודית, ולהקים מדינת פלסטינית ערבית אסלאמית על חורבותיה. זוהי בעיה קיומית לא פחות מהגרעין האיראני. החוק הישראלי (סעיף 7 א לחוק יסוד הכנסת ) מאוד ברור ואוסר על מפלגות תומכות טרור שפוסלות את ישראל כמדינה יהודית לרוץ בכנסת. הסיבה שהן כן בכנסת היא שבגצ רוקן את החוק מתוכן ומכשיר את הריצה שלהן בניגוד לחוק.

The Prologue starting with Galad, driven by his love for whom he sees as his true mother, killing her abuser and taking control of that nasty ass cult????
Peak????
Is this Galad's first PoV???
Why tf is he shirtless in the cover????
Peak?????
If no one’s got me, I know Robert Jordan and the illustrator of the Italian edition of Knife of Dreams have got me. Sorry but it’s so funny to have Galad and Nynaeve on the cover of a book featuring Lan & Nynaeve’s #Moment but when you’re buzzy, you’re buzzy innit
Last book was like a Knife cutting straight through my patience, but my Dreams of finishing the series are far from crushed.
It's also starting to hit me in the feels that this is RJ's final entry.
So here's my emotional readthrough of the eleventh book of #TheWheelOfTime ~🧵
ALT The book's cover. Nyneave and a for some reason shirtless Galas stand in cool poses and muted colors, except for their various golden accents like her jewelry (there's also the red from the gem and painted dot on the forehead) and his cloack's sun pattern and sword details. All around them is a rock formation colored in teal, parts of which seem to open on the left side like tiny slits in the rock from which golden light passes through. Circling them there are also tiny motes of light of similar hue. At the top there are the series title and logo, at the center the author's name and surname divided by a yellow strip running horizontally and below that the book title and publishing house.

If there's one thing Tories hate, it's the world that Thatcher built.
I earn £100 grand a year.
I have a detached house. 2 cars and my wife is a full time home maker.
I can just about afford this. I probably couldn’t afford the house I own if I was buying for the first time today.
My salary puts me in the top 5% of earners in the UK.
Top 5% to have a similar standard of living to Homer Simpson.
That is a disgrace.
We have a flatter salary distribution than Soviet Russia and the highest taxes and borrowing costs we’ve seen in generations.
Success is almost impossible because our tax system means hard work makes you a stressed out tax cow, not wealthy and certainly not free.
We need something radical.
Less state.
More family.
Less handouts.
More reward for risk.
Instead. Tomorrow, Labour will offer another batch of policies which will send one message to aspirational Brits: why bother.
