Yes yes a thousand times yes (Geothermal and to a lesser extent hydro can come to the party where appropriate as well) But overwhelmingly, electricity should come from the big sun above, and the little suns in our power plant cores

On the same afternoon that almost nobody was turning up for this, Dupont Circle was insanely packed with many 100s of people standing in long lines around the entire park area just because the Indian embassy was handing out free mangoes. 🧐

Jim never has a second hydration break at home...

I’ve heard this one before. When will certain voters/pundits learn?

Why would you come at Linda Holmes when literally anyone else exists? (Except Ann Powers. Don’t do that either.)

Leftists want a dictator, but are afraid to admit it.

1. SCOTUS woulda nixed any attempts to DQ Trump. MORE people voted Trump despite/due to the coup attempt. 2. If Gaza mattered, why did it ONLY discourage voters in safe states.

“Actual data and context is irrelevant. My priors are what matters.”

Yup. And it really did a number on state legislature races / redistricting party-building that gets blamed on Obama but belongs to Bush and Bush and Reagan.

Crap. Telling people to have a good day is now illegal in Trump’s America?

It’s bad that so many people on the left try to rewrite history. We get enough of that from the right as it is.

Man don’t make me have to publicly agree with Favreau.

oh come on, the Oct 8 rallies weren't in mourning for Gaza, they were in celebration of Oct 7.

He’s just reading Wikipedia.

I’m not reading any analysis written before the 2024 election and pretends the actual detailed results and context didn’t upend our priors.

And even smart people like Parker are pretending the election results and context we’ve learned since didn’t undermine the freakout and resulting narratives.

Boom.

People should read Marx's Fragment on Machines, I'm begging you. We want a world where people don't need to work to survive. That's the ideal. Focus on reshaping the economy to ensure everyone enjoys the fruits of automation.

We're going to be put between a rock (non-black DSA members) and a hard place (non-black establishment Democrats) with both of them working overtime to disenfranchise us and puppeteer us while wanting to usurp the grassroots networks we built over decades.

Right but progressives despised DeBlasio because he…went to a gym in Brooklyn?

White people-if you want to understand racism and how it has survived, read this thread. The more you understand the less need you’ll have to be racist.

on the one hand, sure. on the other hand... I once met a NYC art school student who believed that Bernie had the first Pride parade in the country, which they learned from a (lying) "dank meme," if you remember those. Mamdani does things, but others will take credit for things they haven't done.

also de Blasio froze the rent three times! Mamdani has pushed it up to a two-year freeze, but the main thing here is also that he's very good at *taking credit for doing things.* This is praise, not criticism! It's extremely important for politicians to do this.

The left's understanding of US Civics is like that of a Pre-Schooler. They all literally think that President Bernie could just create anything he would want via Executive Fiat. I'm supposed to want to work with these morons? How, exactly?

So I'm reading about how most people in Ohio oppose deporting Haitians. Sadly, it won't make a difference. Just like it doesn't make a difference whether most people in Red states oppose abortion restrictions. It only matters when they stop voting for Republicans. And I don't think they'll do that.

Still underrated. Icon.

*Glares in Chicago*

Kamala Harris got 24,000 more votes than Elissa Stotkin. Slotkin is not better at politics, she just ran against … hold on … I keep forgetting …. Mike … Rogers. 🤷🏻‍♂️

This is why I roll my eyes when people make sweeping statements about unhappy Dems and the need for new leadership. If you think Slotkin is simpatico with DSA types hooooo boy. And if you are in ANY “identity politics” group, sorry.

She's lying. Democrats weren't "soundly defeated." Harris received a the 3rd most votes in the history of this country AND she lost the popular vote by 1.5 percent. Wtf she is talking about?

This insane lefty campaign to rehab Tucker…

My mayor Muslim My Cape is Verde They're beating Messi On July 3rd

Besides the misogyny (and oof) and the general head in the ass of the sand that the Nation has become … if the 2024 electorate was so moved by Gaza, why did Dem turnout ONLY drop in uncontested states? Where were all the disaffected Dems in swing states? Hmmm?

This is the most important thing a lot of you need to get into your heads.

As it relates to Reganomics, (white) people genuilenly believed that welfare queens were the problem and were happy to be racist throug voting for his platform. Trump is that on steroids. The point being American voters are happily racist and no amout of class solidarity is going to change that.

There's no reason to think that voters have chosen that or the literal white nationalists ethno state were in willingly? That's the problem I have with a lot of you. You let actually bad people off the hook by presuming they aren't moved by Republican policies and far right talking points.

What the fuck is wrong with you.

Go fuck yourself.

yet another terrible thing has happened to the LGBTQ+ community, let me check to see how the @nytimes.com is handling it

Patiently putting up with AJ Pierzynski should qualify the pope for sainthood

Me reading your bad polling taeks:

The media is fully committed to over-reporting on Democratic Party divisions and underreporting on Republican Party divisions. This has serious consequences when the unreported party divisions concern the party that controls Congress and the White House…

And too many people dance to the media’s music.

YOU ALL ARE FORCING STANCIL TO MAKE SENSE

Um, in 2/3 of the NYC races, the outgoing congressperson ALSO endorsed Mandani for mayor.

We’re really calling *Letitia James* a “machine folk”??? The Discourse on the left is broke af.

This would be the biggest win of the night!

Clearly this BS site is not good for me. Of course, the alternatives are worse. I hate having my brain in this world.

You tell em, White Dude from a Safe Blue State.
