mentioning an anodyne quote from the Talmud while announcing a plan to combat hate crimes and doing NYC retail politics by sitting in a sukkah or two is not a dogwhistle or a betrayal of his campaign volunteers or anything like that

At least for here it's a combo of cuomo shutting down Indian point (moving a big chunk of gen to natural gas), crises with oil/gas nationally, a lack of permitting reform for green energy, and the slowroll of the iirc hydrothermal Canadian supply?

Underrated hunch, I think it's utilities

We basically have a young progressive bloc and an old liberal bloc that *really* don't see eye to eye, that has notably gotten worse post Bowman removal / Jones & Maloney controversies, and even moreso on Palestine. Like I'd argue the active democratic base has gotten older and more moderate.

Yeah like the polls could be wrong but the vibes on the ground don't feel great.

Originally I thought it was overcompensation or a very vocal/active R base but uhh yeah the polls changed that

Then why did you assume that a rabbi participating in a peace vigil with *mamdani* and *lander* was a zionist?

My rabbi was there standing right next to Lander (a regular attendee of Lab/Shul services) and Zohran, nobody's more of a leftist in that group than him. I'm fucking incensed that "comrades" would do this shit tonight. He wants to support DSA but this type of stuff holds him back!

"Consensus building is liberal and therefore ineffectual, I care about actual results" is a fucking ridiculous thing to say, especially on an app owned by a mass murderer.

Does 1 life = 1 life, or does 1 life = 66 lives?
