I'm not sure what you're arguing

AIPAC is the biggest source of Republican donors giving to Democratic primaries AIPAC sees support for Israel as bipartisan, and its donors come from both parties. But its practice of sending money from GOP donors into Democratic races has enraged progressives.

Sacramento’s most legendary parking enforcement officer gave out 22,000 tickets last year 2025 marked another outstanding year for Parking Enforcement Officer Grant Nakamura, the hardest-working man in Sacramento.

“No infraction seems to escape him. Nakamura can hear a meter expire in the night the way an owl hears a mouse across a snowy clearing in the woods…”

Why Sam Altman reminds me of Anton Chigurh To understand what the people building AI are really saying, it helps to spend some time with a man who kills people with a cattle gun.

I am not saying the guys running OpenAI are serial killers. I'm just saying the worldview they present, and the way they talk about their own actions, reminds me a lot of one of the most iconic serial killers in the history of film.

Bourdain said im like Hezbollah because i don't participate in animal cruelty

I think you're reading subtext into my posts that isn't there

Hillary of course ran on that (just not middle class taxation, which she should have supported)

Vietnam and the hearsay LBJ was racist brings down his reputation

What's the most ambitious part of zohrans platform? Child care policy that Hillary also ran on? He's certainly not expanding the option of state health coverage to every american.

When water is free for landlords it lets landlords take it all, so yes.

Humans do not use that much water at all outside of agriculture, which can take place on land without water shortages.

Mayors get a way with a lot more powers than presidents for non-fiscal policy, and nothing is stopping them from promising fiscal policy.

what's cool is that i don't know if you're mad at this for being pro or anti hillary

Luckily for you, sabotaging JCPOA has nothing to do with genocide, so I'm not in any capacity commenting on any genocide or support of one.

Don't promise universal healthcare, promise parliamentary and judicial reforms that would enable it.

Lying is bad. We aren't a normal country where a new government actually gets to do their platform.

It's a way to tell interest groups you're on their side without actually having any plan to follow through on it. A very new phenomenon, I might add.

They get in trouble with liberals for their implicit and explicit support of AIPAC, yes

Mamdani not promising things that are impossible is the point. Hillary's platform was delusional given the senate math and filibuster.

she had a more ambitious platform than mamdani (but it was pretend bullshit instead of zohrans smart incrementalism)

I'm glad we established that was miscommunication

Ah! That was miscommunication on my part. I was replying to:

> and until recently you'd only see (non-antisemitic) criticism of lsrael from the far left.

Not

> It's important to note that the lsrael/Gaza shift is is very recent

There was obviously *a shift*, just not as large as stated.

We speak different vernaculars and the way to not talk past each other is by telling each other what we mean by things, and then we have an actual conversation of substance after that's been established. I was literally telling you what I meant. I know you speak differently -- hence the reply.

If I want to refer to communists or campists, I can simply say that.

Who have I failed to distinguish? It's simply a reality that a lot of "left of center" people had negative sentiment towards Israel (why would they not after JCPOA?), a cohort normal people agree can be considered Liberal or Strongly Liberal, people who identify as Progressive and Like Socialism.

I asked if you want me to speak in anthropology seminar, if you want that say so

Cool, im talking about me, a speaker of american english

Im saying they were all the same people.

I don't do prescriptivism and prescriptivism is an excellent way to destroy your political power. Talk to people in their language, or explain what language you're speaking in. Or else you just speak past each other and make yourself look stupid despite making yourself look smart being the intent.

I think that's about who I'm talking about, yea. Probably a hot spot of anti-israel sentiment statistically based on my experience.

It's american liberals that highly engage with politics, who might join an organization called NYC Labor Against War. Again, we're not in an anthropology seminar, Im using the language of the american civic tradition.

If you want to insist on me talking in anthropology seminar language I can try?

They still don't identify as liberal
