So when I see card-carrying liberals describe someone like Mamdani as "dangerous", I hope you can understand why my hackles get raised, so to speak.
Haven't seen anything that would warrant that characterization. He's swinging for the fences in terms of NYC affordability. Sounds pretty smart to me.
So, he's more antagonistic towards Israel than I am? So are most people. He comes across as the guy who was slightly more liberal than one when one was in undergrad.

Here's the TLDR version: stop trying to appeal to smart, informed people. They are too small a voting bloc to make a difference. You MUST win the absolute mouth-breathing idiot vote. That is the biggest voting bloc there is, and right now, they are under the spell of Trumpism.
Promise them free shit. Promise you'll hurt their enemies. Send them free tit pics by text. Whatever it takes. Oh, and run a charismatic candidate that is willing to say all of those magic words at a middle-school vocab level, and/or use some Hollywood catch phrases. I'm dead serious, the most serious threats to Trump and Trumpism are people like The Rock, and McConaughey, and folks like that.

It seems to me that the primary bias that most American have, if they have one, is that they think of all Muslims as fundamentalist. Whereas they are willing to parse the hardshell and softshell Christians and make allowances to Christians who aren't fundamentalists, they don't give Muslims the same leeway, ant throw them all into one big batch. That's the problem.
The other problem is conflating thoughts about religious beliefs with global politics.

It's kind of like what is actually antisemitic and what is legitimate criticism of Israel. Curiously, hardly anyone levels criticism at Judaism, per se.
Judaism, at least in America, tends not to constantly point out that if you aren't part of their club you are totally fucked in this life and the next. If that was the case there would be lots more antisemitism here than there is.
Israel profoundly fucked up their response in Gaza.
Repercussions.

You can come back later and apologize when it turns out I'm right.

Would love to see Tillman not have to go the full 90 in this one, if possible.

I think it’s utterly moronic to think who you play sports with says anything about your academics, but that’s 100% how Stanford and Cal think, as well as large swaths of the Big 10.
I think the last few years have disabused them of that.
I feel like Stanford fans, at least, are in the camp of pure survival (those that will do anything to preserve non-football/Olympic sports and still have a football team and or figure out a way to retain all the other sports without a football team).
I can see them joining this non-Power Pac12 and having a competitive football team and still retaining and having success in the non-football sports.
The ones who are all about academics and don't care about sports would rather us just join the Ivy League or create a West Coast Ivy League.
Cal and Stanford are going to use academic reputation to recruit, and not to make decisions about conferences.

Maybe, but I also want no part of competing against Stanford, and I don't imagine anyone else in the PAC feels like playing for 2nd in pretty much every sport.
I just think it would be good for Stanford and Cal to get back into a "west coast conference" just because of the still unsettled nature of everything.

At some point, it would be nice to get to a point where we all don't repost idiotic shit. We all know it's out there and will always be out there.
Idiocy from important people (Trump). Sure. Random idiocy?

Only finished four episodes this season. I liked 3. It was stupidly sweet but at least that is something.
With nothing happening the "methody" acting gets tiresome. Instead of just having a conversation, you have to get the two second "expression shot" before anyone says anything. Syd is the fucking worst. She has to do "bug eyes"/count to three in response to any communication. But they all do it. It's like the director is telling them to stretch out the conversations so they can reach their "minutes" quota.

No kidding, although she stayed pretty modest for the most part.

So Mamdani's parents are Indian-Ugandan and Indian-American, but Fox is going to paint him as a Communist radicalized in the madrasas in Pakistan, aren't they?
You say that as if there is any difference in those countries and/or continents whatever.

None of what you said is shitty if it's done to Republicans.

That's my entire point: quit running on ideas, and policies. Run on the circus. The circus is what wins. It's the ONLY thing that wins. And if you don't win, then nothing else matters.
Yeah, but in a less jaded way, the argument is that you should run on personality - a personality that reflects a willingness to act but also the fact that you're not a complete slimeball.
That leaves the party as a big tent party, with all the risks that entails, but fuck it, we just need good people to replace the shitty ones.
That's the full platform: Replace shitty people.

In that line, I go back to the absolute minimum qualification.

Can you imagine their disgust just thinking about associating with us academic paupers?
As a Stanford grad. Yes.
Absolutely.

Allred should have set his sights back on US Rep until he was ready.

I wish Nathan Johnson would find a pet project that isn't pure pragmatism. He needs something to give himself statewide recognition and he hasn't so far.
But for now, we need a firebrand.

Just rejoin already, Cal and Stanford.

Okay. So sounds like a fine option if Landers isn't running against him.
Not sure why the controversy.
