Terminally online leftists have seized on a few very old comments from Shapiro (when he was like 21) and taken more recent ones out of context for performative outrage with regard to the current Israeli conflict. The oddest part is that his actually policy position is shared by Harris, Kelly, Beshear, and even Walz. He's the only Jewish person on that list, though. That couldn't have anything to do with it, right?

Dems have been sneaky progressive since like 2018. It's been a real breath of fresh air. With the Biden Administration's achievements and policy goals basically being a leftist's wishlist, I'm excited to see what a Harris Administration can do on top of that.

Almost a third of the U.S. population is white and male. In a representative democracy, it's only reasonable to expect that population to often make up a plurality of all office holders.

The seat is too valuable to give up an incumbency advantage, particularly so given Kelly's high approval rating in state.

There is absolutely not “evidence flying in both directions.” We’re done here.

It’s not really a take, it’s the statistical fact of the last 2+ decades and has been the consensus among political analysts and strategists for almost as long.

There was a long discussion about this on the 538 podcast last week, and four years ago, and eight years ago. It may be worth a point in a give home state, but even that is less than likely because of how polarized the electorate is and low-information voters have less of an opinion about their state-level leaders than they do nation politicians.

It all comes down to the takeaway being that you’re better off picking a good messenger who is charismatic and can do unfriendly media hits well. That’s the strategy unless you need to balance something out of the ordinary like Obama did when he picked Biden in 2008.

Since the spinal infection a decade ago, these compounding pharmacies are operating under incredibly heavy regulation and have their operations very restricted and bifurcated between clean labs and standard labs. The testing requirements are both extreme and reasonable. I'm as comfortable ordering a compounded script as I am one from a traditional vendor these days.

A number of municipalities have made the review boards consist of citizens outside the jurisdiction's criminal justice structure. This is a great idea and should become more widely adopted.

Measured take: Jacobin is a good publication that veers into terminally online takes with a bit to high a frequency.

This isn’t how it works anymore; it hasn’t been for like 24 years. There is near-zero home-state advantage in 2024.

Big A Libertarian Walks into a Bear energy.

Dana Nessel is a fucking beast when it comes to corruption and election interference. This should be interesting to watch.

Bruh, you’re here to post that miasma.

I assume he's still registered in GA? We really need that vote.

I would like to hear this if it’s real.

Chavez won, at least, his first election fairly and in a landslide. So, it’s been up to 25 years since the last free and fair election there.

Wow, I guess the Florida Bar's Character and Fitness requirements are exactly what you'd expect out of that place.

It absolutely has not. Real wages are up the most among the lowest earners.

Except real wages are up the largest percentage for the lowest income brackets and the least for the highest.
