The older I get, the more my politics boil down to "don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining." He/him.

We have RCV in New York - we still got Mayor Adams!! Maine used RCV to re-elect Susan Collins! Is there a chance that it isn't the silver bullet you hope it will be?

It's a real job insofar as, if you were doing it because you wanted Putin to think you were cool, you could really fuck up some shit...

Rest assured that if Dems lose this year, the left will have much bigger fucking problems than a pissing match with centrists.

He did great today being interviewed on the tarmac by the Post- asked about Warner, said he was unaware that anyone besides Warner had signed on. Sounded great and was obviously present.

N-no? This is an *intense* and not especially close reading of an offhand comment. You're in "how can you say you 'hate' mayonnaise while there are war crimes being committed" territory here.

Is it too much to hope for Tory vs Reform street fights? I'm sure they won't, but it would be so healing to watch them pick each other off.

Funnily enough, the "World Socialist Website" has the same take, except they're also furious that Starmer will "bring Britain into open conflict with russia at the upcoming NATO summit."

I grew up never eating parsnips because my grandmother was cooking them while my mom, as a little girl, was watching the Rosenbergs being led to the electric chair on TV, and she's still instantly transported back to that moment by the smell, 7 decades later. But I don't have that, so I love 'em.

That, along with Trump v US, could galvanize voters to turn out against the GOP, a la Dobbs, which the editorial pages also never saw coming.

It's partially because he actually looks like Little Lord Fauntleroy, but his current flavor of fascist kink is being "one of the people." Still, he's very bad at it.

When you can sum up the most salient fact about a candidate that the public knows in two words, and they're a scandal, they're not getting elected president in 4 months. Newsom would be immediately known as Governor French Laundry.

I can definitely buy that. But he really likes to steal stuff, and I think that will somehow be where this first gets tested - low stakes, essentially just whether or not laws apply.

NY has an odd quirk (I'm also not sure of the details...) that allows multiple parties to nominate the same candidate, so WFP is basically the progressive base of the Dems here. Possibly the only good thing about NY politics. I think the Conservative Party does roughly the same for the right/GOP.

I'm genuinely not so sure it won't - Trump's weird need is to *constantly* test the limits of his power, and without any stated limits, I feel like he will be pathologically drawn to public crime.

Furthermore, if you refuse to carry out Trump's illegal order, he can order someone else to harm you, and then absolve them off any guilt. And do it completely in the open.

Any other course of action at this point will invite competition between all of the factions sitting uneasily together here. Which is untenable, unless you would like to see what the Dem coalition looks like after Black voters, and especially Black women, abandon it en masse. /end

Then it needs to be Kamala, because the only survivable paradigm that preserves the *very fragile left-to-center-right coalition that is the current Democratic Party* is "something bad happened to the president and the VP is stepping in." 1/

I have a deep sympathy with the normalcy wing of the Dems, who keep hoping they can coax moderate Rs back to sanity, but the time has really come to admit we can't, and we need to bury them instead. Filibuster reform, gerrymander reform, court reform, a new VRA, serious ethics enforcement, etc.
