Men of good taste. Miss the huge dining hall, haven’t been to the new location yet.

The mobilization that happened during Trump 1.0 warded off the despair, at least for myself. This administration has not had similar mobilization, and has given way to despair. I pray that we are on the cusp of turning this ship around.

No totally. There was a huge backlash to the defund movement and chaos of Covid even among ostensibly liberal people in the city. Which is why I think this is Zohran’s race to lose. The NY Post alone is not enough to carry Cuomo to victory
comment in response to post
I think this is probably true, I’m just so far from what his campaigns target voter was— he immediately repulsed me. I thought Stringer could’ve beaten him prior to the allegations. But yeah, Yang’s collapse probably doesn’t happen if Adams didn’t run a solid campaign.
comment in response to post
49% seems high for stringer lander and Zohran in first round… but we will see
comment in response to post
I don’t think Adams ran a particularly impressive campaign in the 2021 primary but it I am still somewhat surprised at how lethargic and uninspired this Cuomo campaign is.

Anyways I’m about to get off work and go to the protest in Foley Square so hopefully that is therapeutic
comment in response to post
Along with the hooting and hollering for his speech at Fort Bragg right now. Things don’t feel great.
comment in response to post
The protest just got 10 feet taller!

Yes. Artwork made from human excrement is also valuable as long as people are willing to pay for it

I just looked at her confirmation vote and how was their not unanimous opposition from the Democrats (sans Fetterman I guess). Like Andy Kim voted for her?!?!?!?

Not that there isn’t space for regulation and to ban stuff like trumps blatant criminality with his coin, but a broad anti-crypto stance just doesn’t make sense when bitcoin has created so much value
comment in response to post
It’s a lost issue, Dems are better off getting crypto money on their side I think. Bitcoin is gold of the digital age as much as I hate to admit it.

The Watto Allen tweet is classic tho
comment in response to post
Would be somewhat humorous if it was his 3 SCOTUS appointees who put an end to this

Warren AG is my dream 😭
comment in response to post
S&P is still down 13% ytd! Since this could be hypothetically reversed any second, you are less likely to see panic selling that accompanied other financial crises.
comment in response to post
Reasonable tbh

Bitcoin actually performed very well this week relative to the market

I think my ideology is “crush the bastards”

Considering this is the first election since January 6th where Trump is president
comment in response to post
I don’t know why people aren’t considering the possibility of Trump/Musk contesting a Dem victory in WI.
comment in response to post
I think it’s starting to break through to the normies. We are barely 2 months in, but anecdotally I’ve talked to a bunch of <25 yr old, not trumpy but not lib dudes (basically my social circle), who think these guys are lunatics.

Real former election twitter heads remember

NY-12! Just move to Stuytown from bumblefuck like all the other young people there and run against Nadler
comment in response to post
This is such boomer posting (laudatory)
comment in response to post
I’d need to see some reallyyyyyy bad trump favorables before I could fully get behind this but I think we will get there
comment in response to post
AOC/Bernie endorsement rally for Zohran in some beautiful May weather would be generational
comment in response to post
Crazy that the comment section of @ Rap was literally one of the first indicators of a huge right shift among young men
comment in response to post
Such a marked difference from 2017-2020 IG when it was seen as a place of lib virtue signaling. That’s why the “vibe shift” stuff gets me mad bc it’s not a vibe shift, it’s just right wing agitprop being pumped into <30 y/o brains
comment in response to post
Thinking of how close Joe Salazar was to winning the 2018 AG primary :/
comment in response to post
The DOE has half as many employees as the NYC Sanitation Department. And it’s “popular” because who doesn’t like education? Just a very stupid fight to pick for them
comment in response to post
St. John’s is the best story in NY sports right now. And it isn’t particularly close
comment in response to post
Hoping there is an ambitious state rep with good media skills who jumps in. Considering the amount of state reps in New Hampshire this seems plausible
comment in response to post
Around where is the protest for someone interested in joining
comment in response to post
Very clear that it is Elon Musk hurting the EV transition, not the response to Elon Musk

I’m starting in the fall and hoping my timing works out if I want to become a JAG when they are rebuilt from scratch
comment in response to post
Unengaged democrats who are probably more moderate and more likely to be poc.

One of previous barbers was a early 20s Puerto Rican dude from Canarsie and was always posting QAnon adjacent stuff on his instagram stories, but really nice guy and great barber lmao
comment in response to post
This is similar to my hypothesis to why barbers have kooky beliefs.

I love him I just struggle with running a billionaire when we need a message with the anti-oligarchy dial turned up 5000%
comment in response to post
Precisely, JD’s dad in real life left him, trying to fill the gap
comment in response to post
Regardless of whether casting a vote for Trump amounts to “moving right”, the mayoral election will have less than half the voters that 2024 did. And I don’t think Manhattan liberals will be the ones sitting out
comment in response to post
As much as some in the USCCB want to, they don’t have the balls
comment in response to post
I was distraught by the amount of ex-mil and spooks running in 2018 elections bc I am/was in the Bernie camp, but between J6 and now my view has definitely changed on that
comment in response to post
I have to imagine it triggers some resignations within the corps ? Maybe not ?
comment in response to post
I just had dinner (east village granted) and the table next to me was 4 like 70s year olds and they were talking about how they were going to not pay taxes this year because of Trump/Elon 😂 people are so mad
comment in response to post
Drone panic comes to mind particularly lol
comment in response to post
Yeah I suppose this wouldn’t have been the case pre-2018 primaries.
