Biden’s Team Lied About Gaza. It’s Time to Hold Them Accountable. My piece in Foreign Policy foreignpolicy.com/2025/07/18/bid…

Gonna have to very respectfully disagree here. It’s not about persuading the centrist mob, it’s about persuading voters, and being savvier about what you say and what battles you pick minimizes the damage they can do and strengthens your position without ceding on any substance.

Underrated awesome thing Bernie and AOC are doing right now is prioritizing swing districts and states in their events and endorsements so they can take credit for midterm gains and readily present them as being about a progressive wave. The rest of the left should follow suit!

For many Arab & Muslim New Yorkers, the phrase "Israel has a right to defend itself" is a call to unmitigated violence & war crimes targeting their loved ones. Therefore, every candidate for NYC mayor should be asked to condemn that phrase, then asked again, & again, & again.

As Maia has pointed out, it’s fascinating to wonder what audience these people are even trying to appeal to. Surely they know all actually existing conservatives in America just want to see monster trucks rolling over woke trans immigrants and not actual news, right?

Again, this story should have sweeping, national implications. Dem leadership is trying to smear and sabotage one of their own nominees to suit purity tests and appease special interest groups. A dramatic betrayal of the cornerstone of their own messaging: Harm reductionism.

I’m not really tuned in to Andrew Tate but I swear to god the majority of stuff I see on here from or about him is just him calling random things or actions gay. Is that all there is to this guy? Surely there’s gotta be something left over for the Alpha/Sigma/whatever males.

There’s a strange thing with centrist Dems where they keep talking about autopsies and 50 point plans and then I never see them actually doing anything while progressive pols and activists sweep the country to articulate a fresh vision to voters. These guys are all bark, no bite.

The predictably hysterics over this are simultaneously correct on the facts and everything that’s wrong with the left in general. This is a shitty explanation for a shitty vote, and it’s also not consequential enough to give oxygen to. The perfection or bust standard must die.

Thank you, Captain. 🫡

My criteria for AOC or for any elected is simple: As long as they take socialist positions roughly 90-95% of the time and don’t do anything breathtakingly outrageous, I’m all in. Having a margin of error is an absolute necessity for us to be an effective governing organization.

This guy has shown such marvelous political instincts both in his House campaigns and post November 5th it’s genuinely fascinating how he managed to botch that Senate run so spectacularly. Like, what happened with campaign? Did he just surround himself with a bunch of imbeciles?

Very fair to conclude he lost more on the basis of ideology than logistics, but getting slaughtered by 32 with his amount of resources and visibility feels bananas to me. There were still successful centrist primary campaigns that year, his messaging was just uniquely shitty.

The problem with Andrew Cuomo’s fake “be available more” strategy is that he’s bad and the more people know him the less they like him.

I am incredibly honored to be the DFL endorsed candidate for Minneapolis Mayor. This endorsement is a message that Minneapolis residents are done with broken promises, vetoes, and politics as usual. It’s a mandate to build a city that works for all of us. fatehformayor.com/donate

And after the worst vibes day for the American left in at least a month, we get this extraordinary mic drop like the cavalry coming in to save us from the discourse! The Democratic Tea Party has arrived. This is our moment to seize. Just maybe, there’s a such a thing as hope.

NY-12 expert here: Quite badly for Lina, unfortunately. Nadler is genuinely popular in his district and has deep ties to local institutions, and the place as a whole is way too bourgeois and pro-system to elect an ideological progressive, especially via primary challenge no less.

Gonna have to go normie and America centric again guys, sorry! Wes Linklater Marty Yorgos Baker

When it comes to Israel the left really hasn’t been exaggerating one bit. This is a rouge, fascist state that just wants to kill and kill and kill and you better adjust your worldview accordingly. It’s just unimaginable what they’ve normalized and imposed on our everyday lives.
