You promised free buses. But 100 days in, you are saying you will "speed up buses by up to 20% along 45 priority corridors." So, you haven't even done that. And with even that being caveated as "up to," not "at least."

A hundred years ago, the Democrats were deeply divided between a progressive wing and a conservative wing, and maintained what party unity they could by allowing white supremacists to set policy on anything touching on race.

Genocide definitions - Wikipedia

Genocide doesn't have a definition. It has many. So, Graham Platner could answer in many different ways.

Considering the answer as to whether it was genocide doesn't have to be a simple yes or no, it is quite the hypothetical as to what a further response to it would be.

Platner raised $4 million, but Collins retains cash advantage The Maine senator has a financial leg up over whoever wins the June primary.

"[Graham] Platner raised $4.1 million in the first quarter, down from $4.6 million he had raised the prior quarter, while Mills brought in $2.6 million, down from $2.7 million in the final quarter of 2025, which had also included her campaign launch."

We agree that you "don't mind replying to others on BlueSky," but you have an issue with others replying to someone other than you. If you don't like that, you can stop using Bluesky. Instead of telling people to "[send] a fucking letter."

Clearly, you have control issues.

Graham Platner apologizes for using the r-word After reporting by Mother Jones, the democratic senate candidate offered a mea culpa.

I was the first to report on this Monday in an article. Platner's campaign team has still not responded directly to me, one of the handful of openly disabled disability reporters on staff at a publication in the US. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Maybe, instead of Graham Platner having his campaign pay his wife, the money could be spent on improving his press team?

You obviously don't know if we care about "what he did constituted genocide." We actually do. It's why we asked the question. One that you seem to have an issue with him being asked.

If you don't like people replying to others on Bluesky, you can always stop using it.

Cenk has been working the tankie left --> far right matchup for a long time now, possibly as someone paid. There is a concerted effort now to merge the ends of the horseshoe. Cenk and really anyone from TYT should never be trusted as a genuine, independent voice.

We didn't say the question wasn't going to be answered, only that it wasn't likely to be answered.

You should look the up the definition of rhetorical, because someone not answering a question doesn't make it rhetorical.

Platner is the one who brought up asking people about genocide, not us.

How do you define genocide? Genocide is among the gravest crimes against humanity, but there is debate over which historical crimes qualify.

We understand that he isn't likely to answer the question, but it doesn't mean it shouldn't be asked.

There isn't one definition of genocide, as the linked story talks about.

What we (or anyone else) think genocide means isn't relevant to whether he would call what happened in Iraq, which he was involved in, genocide or not. That would be his own opinion.

It shouldn't be a hard question for him to answer, as he says it shouldn't be about Gaza.

The question isn't rhetorical and it wasn't about satisfying "that Platner is the man in the arena," whatever that is supposed to mean.

It's a genuine question, one that you seem to be interested in shutting down his being asked, for whatever reason.

How Graham Platner has evolved on Iraq, and what it means In unreported Reddit comments that have been deleted, the US Senate candidate called combat 'an excellent experience.'

Platner has spoken about his time in Iraq, it isn't reassuring:

"Platner said he enlisted the Marine Corps to “have an adventure and kill some people.” He called combat “an excellent experience.”"

But that doesn't answer whether he thinks what happened there was genocide, which is the question.

If he has already addressed this question, please provide a link to his answer. Thanks in advance.

Contrary to what you said in that video, you are not taxing the rich. This is only actually a proposal at this point, and it is actually something that would happen at the state level.

Our polite reply pointing out that Mayor Zohran Mamdani wasn't being truthful about taxing the rich, got muted (or hidden?) on his government account.

That seems like pretty open dishonesty already in that administration.

Why only billionaires? Why shouldn't there be a wealth tax on those worth $900 million, for example?

Mamdani plan for NYC to open an East Harlem grocery store gets mixed reviews from locals The mayor plans to open five city-owned grocers overall.

The only announced location isn't planned to open until 2029:

"During his 100 days address on Sunday, Mamdani announced that an empty city-owned lot several blocks north of La Marqueta on Park Avenue would become the site of a city-owned grocery store by 2029."

Mayor Zohran Mamdani isn't exactly moving quickly on his grocery stores:

"The goal is to have one up and running by the end of 2027, with all five open by the end of Mamdani's first term in 2029, City Hall has said."

As noted in multiple replies, the actual plan from Mayor Zohran Mamdani is for there to be 5 grocery stores. 1 in each borough of the 5 New York City. Not 5 in each of the boroughs, or 25.

Does an intern run this account?
