[voters of East African decent]

No I honestly don't. Do you mean he will have problems keeping voters of East African decent because of the situation the mideast or do you mean Minnesotans are so racist that having a small part of the population with a different background will be a problem?.

Somalis will be leaving the Democrats en masse this November. You don't get Uncommitted to 31% in MN-5 without a big change in sentiment.

BTW living in rural Minnesota farmers LOVE solar panels and windmills, it's free money. Of course Biden and Walz don't get the credit they deserve for it but it's not why farmers are usually Republican

The good people of Minnesota aren't happy with the ENERGY bills they're seeing. They aren't happy with Walz changing the wonderful flag. And Biden's economy isn't doing much for his rural voters in MN.

LOL at being told what the good people of Minnesota feel when I am one of those good(?) people. The combination of a mild winter and crashing natural gas prices led to some of the lowest heating bills I have had in the 20+ years I have owned my home. Electric bills are basically what they have always been. I'm not seeing these huge energy bills you keep raving about. As for the old "wonderful" flag what was your favorite part, the fact you couldn't tell it apart from about 20 other flags with a state seal on a blue background or the racist imagery on the seal when you looked at it up close? Nobody but hyper partisans who are automatically pissed at anything the Dem controlled legislature does care about the flag. Personnly I find the new flag meh but it's a huge improvement on the old one.

"Idan went to bully the Palestinian students in the tents at UCLA and played the song that they played to the Nukhba terrorists in prison!" - Sharon On-Siboni (Idan Oh's mother)

Idan's mother and father proudly support Israel and defended their son actions at UCLA, saying that he is heading to UCLA to join the IDF.

I am surprised they let you back on here. This board was much better the past few months without your useless commentary on Israel. Reading a lot of your posts just shows the way a lot of younger, leftists have been poisoned by propaganda in a conflict with quite a few ambiguities.

Go back to looking like the party of working-class people of all backgrounds, because like it or not the perception isn't there right now.

If not that, I don't know. Get used to losing elections, I guess.

DNC can´t control what the activisat left push, unless you want a New Dealer dictadorship with chairman Fetterman. Surely not.

I would add a lack of sexual activity to reasons why some men have little to no respect for women. My wife and I engage in healthy, explosive lovemaking on a daily basis, after even the most grueling day at the office. You'll pardon me if I don't elaborate but I have no wish to share the most intimate details of my marriage with a crass and vulgar readership. If that disappoints you, so be it.

I don't want to read about the physical nature of your relationship, but I do want to read about the respect for women it fosters in you.

(Grunting) "Babe, I respect you SO much!"

I honestly doubt he’ll be alive in 2029.

Not to justify Milei's erratic and often childish behavior, but if Sánchez's own ministers are going to be the ones hurling insults at him first... can the Spanish government really claim a moral high ground here? I'm not that convinced myself.

The comments made by Óscar Puente (minister of Transport) were certainly inappropiate for a member of the Spanish government. They created a diplomatic incident the Foreign Affairs ministry tried to solve in a discreet manner.  There's a difference to be made between the outspoken Óscar Puente and Javier Milei, though.  Puente claims he wasn’t aware of the repercusssion of his comments,  that he made in a relaxed meeting with young members of his party. He made the comments in Spain,  not in Argentina. Try to imagine Pedro Sánchez visiting Argentina without meeting his president, in order to attend a big Peronist event in Buenos Aires - On stage Sánchez begins to rave about libertarianism and the effects of Milei's alleged cocaine abuse, as well as making spicy comments about his sister Karina (the tarot reader).

Characterizing Milei's behaviour as childish is an understatement, considering the level of derangement and ideological hatred in his speech, that also reveals serious emotional issues.

I'm not trying to justify Óscar Puente,  who should have made an apology and perhaps resign. However,  Milei's offences are more serious - He insulted our PM and his wife in our country. That is unprecedented and unacceptable, as our Foreign Affairs minister has pointed out.

Ironically this is the country that Vox, Ayuso and Tucker Carlson claim is descending into tyranny under the evil Perro Sánchez. Apparently Milei felt safe and free enough to attend the Steve Bannon festival in Madrid and say whatever he pleased there.

Finally watched The Matrix (dirs. The Wachowski Sisters, 1999) over three separate sittings. I gotta admit, the parts I remember watching hit different now that I'm actually trans.

Watched sequels Reloaded and Revolutions (dirs. The Wachowski Sisters, 2003). I wasn't anywhere near as disappointed as I was expecting to be, honestly. Maybe it's because I'm easily impressed. Will probably watch Resurrections (dir. Lana Wachowski, 2021) next weekend, though they changed Morpheuses (Morphei?) so I'm a little nervous even though there's a lore reason for it.

At this point I just can’t see Arizona as lean D or Tossup. It should be Lean R at minimum. Biden hasn’t led in a single poll in Arizona since July 2023!

There was a Data Orbital poll last week that had him +1

The below is right!!

This puts the debate over school vouchers in a whole new light for most of us here:

You mean because if there were school vouchers, these schools would be less white?  They aren't "segregation academies" if they have non-white students, as the article admits they do.

Most “Christian” schools in the south were founded by wealthy whites to keep their kids away from black.

Wealthy whites don't have to send their kids to black schools because they can just move to places that don't have many black people. Most Christian school families aren't particularly wealthy, certainly not compared to those who go to secular private schools.

An important confounder in all this discussion is that the era of school desegregation coincided to a large degree with the era of school secularization with ending things like teacher-led prayer in school, both results of the Warren Court. So you can't look at a private Christian school that starts in the South in the 60s or 70s and assume that reaction to civil rights must have been the motivation.
