if there was ever any doubt, confirmation that, similar to Trump, the official Cuomo campaign was inept and flailing. The competent Cuomo backers who almost launched him to power were the media, who waged (and still wage) a multifaceted propaganda campaign on his behalf.

It continues being funny that "active switch" continues being a dog whistle to say "It's not 1:1 UMVC3 assists" like the last game with active switch was MVCI 8 years ago, none of the other tag fighters ever copied how assists/tags works in that game (if nyo can even call it assists in that game :V)

I hope that I am not right, but I do not think that the GOP fucking over rural areas will result in rural areas blaming the GOP: instead they'll double-down on blaming imaginary cultural enemies and resentment/fantasy about how the cities must be worse.

Really impossible to overstate how completely this guy has failed at every aspect of being an opposition leader over the past six months. Jeffries is a truly inspiring example for every soulless careerist who would rather be king of nothing than stand for anything decent in the world.

Whenever I see lawmakers anywhere do things like this, I think that the most radical thought you can have about institutional politics is that its performance is not at the level of ideology, but physicality: that the law is an object which can bludgeon, and that you can disarm by fleeing with it.

I simply do not understand the “but they’ll pack it back” objections in what world is one where both sides pack it back and forth worse than what we have now, in which we are 6-3 for “laws are only real if they help Republicans”? packing the court is the only viable response if we want rule of law

Pack the Court. If we are serious about the defense of these rights, we pack the Court. Simple as that. They pack it back, we pack it again. We do it until we reach consensus on long-term reforms to the judiciary. I don't know what it's going to take for people to get it.

on Mamdani's city-run groceries idea, "laboratories of democracy" are one of the great U.S. strengths - even if you don't think it's likely to work, it's really interesting to see it tested. Maybe it'll be really successful! Maybe it'll fail for reasons we don't expect!

The immediate success of congestion pricing, after the Dem establishment insisted it would discredit the entire party, was a great advertisement for Trying Shit.

one of the things that's so invigorating about Mamdani's win is how upset the right seems to be. it shouldn't matter to them what flavor of Democrat runs New York City, but they're unnerved because they know that his style of progressive populism has broad appeal.

A Muslim son of immigrants might become mayor of NYC in part because he cross endorsed and supported a Jewish candidate and Black candidate, and vice versa. It's a beautiful American story for the rest of us. A nightmare for all the right people ;) It's so New York.

also, my impression from the outside is that cuomo didn’t actually campaign. he just relied on name recognition and paid media. i think voters sensed the entitlement!

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done. My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it. I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

something I kind of suspect is that Elon Musk pushed the Twitter algo to promote extreme views about Israel into people's feeds and so the many reporters who are still addicted to the site wound up grossly overestimating the salience this foreign policy issue had in fucking municipal elections.

This is a Hall of Fame reader comment on a very reactionary op-ed about Zohran Mamdani's victory that was published in my local paper today.

So, these people are white supremacists of a very specific, American kind. The idea that the right to govern belongs only to a select, racially defined group was *the* political theory of the antebellum and redeemed south. Ask who is being replaced and why that’s a problem, you’ll see it.
