There is no two state solution. Anyone who claims to support it is lying. While Israel slaughters Palestinians, razes Gaza to the ground, ethnically cleanses the West Bank, to speak of a "two state solution" is GASLIGHTING of the absolute WORST kind. Anyone who says this should be slapped very hard.

This is a tired point but it remains the case that nobody ever asks "can you clarify" and "how would you achieve this" of people who continue to flog the Two State Solution fantasy despite the realities on the ground.

Happy “liberal arts professor helps save the Union” day to all who celebrate

wow, for the 6 or so games that they're all healthy enough to play together GS is going to be awesome

Giant window, massive in fact, for any Democrat who’s willing to say that the problems are bad but their causes are very good.

Sage advice from someone who apparently hates Democratic Party primary voters. Much to ponder.

I would simply suggest that if people want to defend democracy and see defeating incumbent democrats as the way to do that, then the failure lies not with the challengers and voters but with the incumbents who failed, often repeatedly, to meet the moment while squandering energy and donations.
