The Politics Thread

I have a lot of issues with Fetterman's record despite thinking his kind of passion and yes, performative behavior is now necessary for the party at large in the hellish media ecosphere we presently live in. I also tend to look sideways at any Great Left Hope that crops up online. But all that said, this seems not good:

And he is likely running against a doctor who can easily use all this against him, with expertise no less. 

I hope all the people on the left who insisted Fetterman was the ideal candidate against Oz can help with a strategy session - oh wait, they want to lose, it makes them feel special. Never mind.

Oz is an absolute quack so it's debatable whether he could even use it adequately outside the base. But it certainly doesn't make that race any easier.

Oh this isn't a pro-Oz post, he's absolutely a quack, but the media loves him, and loves Trump, so I will be surprised if he isn't all over TV giving his opinion on Fetterman's medical history.

The PA race is now a study in what happens when the extremist wings of both parties get what they want. No matter what the people of Pennsylvania end up with a garbage senator. Fetterman's only value is in helping us hold the majority.

I said I would check out on this race once Fetterman won the nomination but it's hard to look away from this trainwreck.

This four-minute video is worth watching - and listening to.

DeathSantis is despicable

A lot to process.

It's easy to distill Feinstein down to the most frustrating lowlights of our recent times, but her career is historic, much of the work she did during it was seismic, and its end is tragic.

I read through the Feinstein article. I'm glad they at least took time to try to have an interview with her, which made the piece less heartless than most of the hellish Nation/Jacobin op-eds tend to be. 

Speaking of hellish,  this man is among  the worst of humanity so I am not surprised he's on the comeback trail.

Interesting that the U.S. helped/obliged Japan to formulate their gun laws.

I've noticed that the League of Problematic White Women goes after Feinstein rather regularly. These leftists are obsessed with purging people from the party. It's literally the only thing that matters to them. Trans kids are basically being hunted for sport and we have daily mass shootings but they're more interested in capping all over lifelong public servants.

Who instituted this policy, Elon Musk?? Insane and very racist.
