@moseskagan @LauraMiers Also I feel like 6 months isn’t that long. Not ideal but also not unheard of.

@LauraMiers I would love to know if he has built anything (a product, a service, a podcast, an audience - really, anything) over those six months
English
This is the most depressing post I’ve ever seen on NextDoor. My heart absolutely breaks for young people. Older generations do not seem to comprehend how bad things are.
What are young people going to do with 6 figures in student loan debt & no jobs?

@Dr_Pat_Riarchy @RichardGrenell Now I know why republicans won’t vote for him
English
Name one centrist view that he has….
He hates Republicans and conservative ideas and attacks them regularly.
He’s more of the same except you’ve never heard of him so he’s able to be a phony.
Jesse Arm@Jesse_Leg
It's definitely a long shot, but a Mahan win would be transformational. Not just for California, but for the entire Democratic Party—and therefore the country. Electing a sane, competent centrist technocrat to lead the biggest, bluest, most poorly managed, lefty special-interest-dominated state in America? That would be the anti-Mamdani whitepill moment.
English
Why would normal Californians continue to vote Democrat when we’ve seen how bad the polices have been for normal Californians ?
The soft on crime policies, failures on homelessness , anti business policies , bad energy policies ( highest in the nation gas)
Because they don’t like orange man Trump ?
Don’t you agree the policies of large states such as Florida and Texas run by Republicans are arguably better overall by every measure
We don’t see this massive fraud with homeless non profits and fake hospices and all the other things Newsom and Democrats have allowed
I just see zero reason to continue rewarding the Democrat party with power .
Democrats always act like they will govern as moderates but then let the left wing / DSA call the shots
Especially in California
English
Funny to see people claim Steve Hilton has no chance of being Governor while they are supporting Matt Mahan that is polling much much lower than Hilton

@kgdm_of_one @Mike_from_PA @digsandsofe @samstein @Lauren_V_Egan @MalloryMcMorrow What’s that gotta do with my response
English
@dshaw000 @Mike_from_PA @digsandsofe @samstein @Lauren_V_Egan @MalloryMcMorrow Dana Nessel was asked by the Board of Regents to investigate the protesters after local prosecutors decided not to press charges.
McMorrow is the same old establishment careerist who will sell her soul to seize power in the presence of inequality. We're done

Biden's presidency was tormented by campus protests over Israel's war in Gaza and his reluctance to push back on it. They shadowed him at events
Those protests have been virtually nonexistent with Trump amid the war in Iran. @Lauren_V_Egan looks into why

@OrganizerMemes You posted about Nina Turner 500 times because she said something you didn't like about the Talarico Crockett race. Well now people don't like your shitty behavior. You made this entire case look like a joke and a scam.

I WAS ASKED BY A SURVIVOR TO SHARE WHAT I KNEW WITH MY PLATFORM WHAT ARE YOU DOING DIVERTING FOCUS WITH A DOZEN POSTS ABOUT ME
Kate Willett@katewillett
I do believe women and I believe these women. I believe Swalwell is a rapist. Who I am skeptical of is some random guy profiteering and centering himself. Sorry but for me “believe women” doesn’t extend to “believe every man who claims to speak for women.”
English
@Twolfrecovery That dude was endorsed by a dude convicted of sexual assault.
English
This is actually true. They knew. 👇
Steve Hilton@SteveHiltonx
Nancy Pelosi knew about the Swalwell allegations. Adam Schiff knew. The unions knew. They all knew. They endorsed him anyway. Democrats can spare us the outrage: they don't care about anything except their own power. This is a party collapsing into chaos, sleaze and scandal.
English
Thanks to @ezraklein for not only defending Hasan Piker but for reminding us of how deeply stupid the response to Joe Rogan endorsing Bernie was.
English
@Justin_G0rd0n I’m choosing Matt, but if it turns out it’s Steyer vs. Hilton, I’m voting Hilton as a fuck you to the CADem Party.
English
The Dem in the top two will win. Want Tom Steyer? Hell no. The Mahan train is taking off. If you’re considering voting Republican, just remember than the Dem who wins the primary wins the general. Choose wisely.
Chris Cillizza@ChrisCillizza
Tom Steyer is going to be the governor of California. Good God.
English
There’s a Green Party candidate already polling at 5%. He’s the only Muslim and anti-Zionist option. The real question is why the DSA seems indifferent to his campaign.
Deep Singh Badhesha@DeepNotShallow
How does DSA California not have better organizing? You're telling me in a state of 40 MILLION that you can't find someone like Zohran, AOC, Francesca Hong, Summer Lee, Platner, etc. to run an insurgent campaign? The Democrat will probably win w/ 15% of the vote. Huge miss!
English
@dshaw000 @moseskagan @cayimby It caps transfer taxes to something like .1%, which would kill ULA and any other local real estate transfer taxes.
English
A study found LA's Measure ULA mansion tax cut large apartment permits by 1,910 homes annually and blocks over 100 affordable homes per year — while generating revenue to fund only 70.
Exempting new multifamily buildings could preserve some revenue and the housing.

English
@GeorgeAshdown0 @moseskagan @cayimby Will that get rid of ULA or just make it harder for other ULA type measures from getting passed? I thought the Howard Jarvis proposition just raises the threshold to pass transfer taxes to a super majority? Could be wrong.
English
English
@moseskagan @cayimby Correct - full repeal not adjustment or reform.
English
@MichaelDTubbs At this point, there is extensive research demonstrating that building high-end housing results in reduced rents for older / cheaper housing.
Posts like this are deeply irresponsible.
English
Two Republicans advancing in the primary just got more likely.
The mad lad might actually stay and fight.
Staying in the race further splits the Dem vote- he could use that as leverage to retain his job in Congress.
Rep. Eric Swalwell@RepSwalwell
Hear it directly from me. These allegations are flat false. And I will fight them.
English
@ClaireHalp20059 Well every one was polling terribly at some point.
Kamala Harris could decide to endorse someone tomorrow and they’d instantly become the new frontrunner.
English
@excel_ranger @moseskagan seems like a lot of bullshit and waste of money to get out of NATO (if I'm understanding your point correctly)
English
@moseskagan We will be kicked out of NATO, or somehow withdraw, to focus on the Monroe Doctrine instead of being the protector of the free world.
In exchange China will step back from the western hemisphere

@MattMahanSJ Are you retarded? Record numbers of us have fled and continue to flee the city. It’s a dumpster fire of crime, drugs, homeless zombies and encampments GALORE. The money is GONE. Freebies to lazy drug addicts & low incomes won’t save LA. You’re beyond dumb!
English
I’m in LA today, and it’s so clear why so many people choose to call this city home. We need to make that choice easier.

Can’t wait for Eric Swalwell to go on Tucker next week and blame AIPAC
