 No need for the reassurance. Nobody would pretend to be a socialist nepobaby who was involved in student government at a small liberal arts college.

I realize that he represents wonderful things to some people (like my kids) and terrible things to others (many of my colleagues). Those two groups are equally silly and unrealistic. The risk with  Zohran Mamdani is that he won’t be competent bureaucrat, which is required to succeed in that job.  Hopefully he will surround himself with career public sector technocrats and not staff senior jobs from the ranks of activism. 

Let me clock the tea for a second:

He wasn't the student body president that year but he did try to get her kicked out of school for a problematic halloween tho. #teacup #fingershand

Nobody takes brave stands in safe spaces like progressive maxis. Demanding Halloween justice at Bowdoin is almost as brave as the Free Palestine protesters who very briefly disrupted the weekly pétanque game at the Mueller Farmers Market last month to take a group photo on the terrain.

Spanberger has been absolutely rock solid if office. Im very happy to call her Governor 

This. I recall seeing several interviews of her shortly after she was elected to the House and thought she was a refreshingly competent new voice.

Good school.

Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, the hero of Little Round Top, whose heroic leadership and gallantry secured the union flank at Gettysburg was a graduate and later president of Bowdoin.

There's probably a cute name for them like Three Stooges or something, but Bates, Colby, and Bowdoin are a pretty formidable array of small, rigorous liberal arts colleges in Maine.

I had a buddy from high school who went to Bates. We asked him if he was enrolling in the master program

Might be time to create a Newsom 2028 thread

 

It's hard to believe he came out of the gate by inviting ghouls like Steve Bannon (and, I think, Charlie Kirk? Or Nick Fuentes. Someone like that) on his podcast and acting all buddy buddy. He turned that shit around in a hurry. I'm not sure who was feeding him advice then but I'm assuming they have been fired.

hopefully she runs for Senate. She'll win.

There is a much wider definition of populist than the one you're using. Populist issues and grasping complexities aren't mutually exclusive by any means. 

 

LOL. Two Democratic women with national security experience won governorships in contested states yesterday, while the fascist party got wiped the fuck out across the board. There was massive turnout in CA on a single, complex issue all about defeating the fascist party. Which party needs to wholly reinvent itself?

This clip below shows a simple thing - the fascist party is committed to their repulsive lies and hypocrisy, and churlish games. 

 

USA! USA! USA!

Ezra Klein talked about this on Friday and described Newsome as an old school politician.  I’m paraphrasing, but he says “this is what people like and don’t like about Newsome.  He does the things we expect politicians to do, like experiment and then pivot towards the things that are popular.”

In other words, we’re all a little deranged living in an era of Trump in which he does all of the unpopular shit and seems to mostly get away with it.

That's neat and all, Chuck, but can you whip enough of your caucus to vote with you?

Dear you, insert _________ Democratic voter. Vote blue no matter what. Send me money so I can sell you out for the worst deal you’ve ever seen and immediately go work for OpenAI to lobby against your interest for $6,000,000 a year when I’m done with this job.

You had one demand. And now you hand the GQP a win and get nothing in return. Useless, brainless, spineless fucking pussies. We'd be better off if Obama took a shit in a box and we let the turd run the party. why even bother with the shutdown in the first place you dumb motherfuckers?

I bet Susan Collins is disappointed she didn't get a chance to cave on this one.
