Argentina update:
Shit got so bad people are eating donkey meat
Es Tendencia a esta hora...@Tendencias_PQ
🇦🇷 "Argentina" Porque el gobierno de Milei ha sido tan exitoso contra la pobreza que ahora en el país vecino están comiendo CARNE DE BURRO. Un desastre social por donde se le mire.

@jarbymccoy @PoliticalKiwi This seat was harris +8, but more realistically its like +13-14 for an average democrat in an okay year. I can see this flipping in a bad year if she doesn't get her popularity up in her district.
English
@dorianhern37304 @PoliticalKiwi was closer to +20 but yeah I’m sure a progressive who doesn’t court endorsements would be bad in centrist brains. progressives can’t win anywhere and if they do it’s only +30!
English
Dems turn in a pretty weak +12 overperformance over Harris turnout in NJ-11. Given the turnout edge, it seems Mejia didn't do well in persuasion.
This is v unsurprising to me. Check out her endorsements from the primary. I've underlined the ones that are negative signals.

Unbelievable levels of retardation.

These men laugh as the baby cries and says “ma ma ma.” They think it’s funny because “there is no mama.” This baby was designed to never have a mother so that two men could satisfy their selfish desires. It’s impossible for a normal person to watch this without instinctual disgust.

Maybe the most underrated fact about out politics is that only liberals read actual news to any substantial degree. richardhanania.com/p/conservative…

@dorianhern37304 @lxeagle17 Thats probably because you are antisemitic
English
Some actual hard data on this: there is a really sharp gradient on antisemitism by both race (nonwhite Americans) and age (younger Americans).

@MiguelMadeira11 @lxeagle17 Black americans mostly do not give a shit about Africa unless they are african immigrants. The majority of jewish americans strongly support israel. I don't agree with the question at all, nor do I agree with the free palestine crowd much, but its not the same as real hate.
English
@dorianhern37304 @lxeagle17 B seems antisemitic; is like saying "is is ok the boycott businesses of Black Americans to protest the killing of albinos in Tanzania"
English
@SpecialPuppy1 @lxeagle17 Essentially none of the free Palestine crowd thinks the holocaust was good, nor would they physically hurt jews . Right wing antisemitism and left wing "antisemitism" are two completely separate things, gen z just eats up the latter. I am not free Palestine btw.

@dorianhern37304 @lxeagle17 A and B are pretty standard anti-semitism battery questions

@cafreiman Rent control isn't in anybodies mind. Everybody cares about COL, nobody wants to talk about it outside of elites and some twitter circles.
English
Here’s hoping that the left embraces the consensus opinion among experts that rent control is bad, just as it’s embraced the consensus opinion among experts that tariffs are bad.

@BobaCalifornian This is a common fallacy in political predictions. US Politics don't really exist outside of 3 presidential cycles ago. 2012 has no bearing on 2028. Just because something didn't flip and has a history of going with x party doesn't mean it can't flip now.

@x00ge_ii63 Go read some psychology about the life outcomes and preferences of people who have less than 90 IQ or the bottom 25% of the population. Its not pretty. But thats not why communism doesn't work as well as capitalism.

@ClaireOfRuralia @LinkofSunshine Most people who voted yes are probably just *average to above average income earners, perhaps with a college degree who grew up in the states. If you include inflation, a million in the future is like 600k now which lowers the standard even further.
English
@LinkofSunshine i wonder how many people voting yes are just "temporarily embarassed"
English
@Joeytheman03 Steyer sounds like hes not a bad person, but hes not going to fix california with what hes proposing. We don't need more reasons for high earners and businesses to leave like more taxes. Hes right on increasing housing supply, but he sounds adamant on keeping rent control around
English
@MarcoFoster_ @KyleKulinski Agreed but a bit less, but a simple non-vote for republicans in 2026 or 2028 and an admission that kamala would have been better is enough.
English
Kyle Kulinski: “I want to see all of these right wing pundits say he’s a war criminal pedophile rapist and he’s the most corrupt president we’ve ever had and he fucking belongs in prison and Kamala Harris would have been way way better than him”
English
@ferald_gord Steyer doesn't seem to want to challenge rent control or some of the down the line things that democrats/left wing people do that also cause low construction. That being said, im happy that abundance is in fashion at the top of the ticket.

@Aishafierce4 Why is this a big deal? Everybody steals from everyone, who cares. She isn't hurting anybody.

I will never understand why they copy black Americans so much. Like what happened to their own music, their culture, their sound and style? Where did all that go?

@Nav2367 @LindorEnjoyer @_giacomo_volpe_ If i don't like it I can just move somewhere else, but I am not. Because the "instability" is largely on the news, not relevant to my life. Society is still largely stable, trump is a blip in the grand scheme of things.
English
@Nav2367 @LindorEnjoyer @_giacomo_volpe_ I can walk outside and know that theres a 99.9999% chance that nothing of the extreme bullshit variety is going to happen to me like some insurgency group killing everyone. I have food, shelter, endless entertainment and I have the freedom to do most things I would want to do.

Wealth inequality is socially corrosive and billionaires are an inherent threat to free society
Inheritance taxes should be higher and applicable to a lower threshold
