@realsaadasad @vikinick_ Depends on the area but yeah. Most democratic voters in the state are looking for a pro-biz, socially liberal candidate after all. Imo if the CAGOP pivoted to this post-2012, they would still have a decent chunk of power.

@jenglarc @vikinick_ No incentive to moderate! You can easily be a more pro-biz, incrementalist Democrat and get elected.

How did the GOP land with Steve Hilton in CA. So out of step with even moderates: -Allow extradition of CA abortion providers -Increase cooperation with ICE -Expand oil drilling near low income communities -Pave over open space to build high fire risk uninsurable homes

@maxdubler All the people protesting it were the worst sort of people as well. Not to mention the “park” was a dirt pit that was genuinely dangerous. I used to live in Unit 2 and got chased by homeless people with pipes on a few different occasions.

The whole “people’s park is an important symbol of resistance that must be protected!” argument really fell apart when people realized that the “resistance” was to student housing for a campus where 10% of students experience homelessness.
Chris Hoofnagle@hoofnagle

People's Park spent decades as a symbol of resistance and as a source of real harm to the people around it. Now it's becoming housing for over 1,000 students. That's its own kind of resistance: against the NIMBY landlord culture that has made Berkeley unlivable for too many.

@vikinick_ @realsaadasad CAGOP base has been fully captured by Trump since 2016-2017, “moderate” Republicans don’t really exist as a thing anymore. Sure there are some in some local government levels (see Newport Beach city council), but very very few at the state level.

@realsaadasad The downfall of the CA GOP needs to be a case study (along with the FL Dems) of how NOT to run a state party. It seems like it's been all downhill for them for the last decade. The last republican to win any "major" election seems like Faulconer.

@Snaremiento @BeshearStan It was a dumb tax that was a grocery tax at a time when these companies are barely braking even enough to stay in business in SF. Like come on man.

@jbarro There is no need for a ballot measure. It just requires the UC Regents to make the change.

It’s perplexing to see Hong run such an unabashedly socialist campaign in a swing state without any real effort to moderate her image. If there’s a Democrat most likely to fall short in a wave year, it’s probably her.
Francesca Hong For Governor@FrancescaHongWI

New York City elected a socialist mayor, and the Knicks won their first championship in 53 years. Imagine what we could do with a socialist governor in Wisconsin? @packers @Brewers @Bucks

@jenglarc @krus_chiki @Jay_JayLuvsYa It started way before the administration. Caisson guys in DC lost a couple horses due to over crowding and low funding and it made CNN. Made the Army stop and evaluate its horse program that DC didn't even know it had with a microscope. Irony is, teams shut down passed inspection

One of the cooler things the communists would do was put thousands of their soldiers in historical uniforms for movies to create scale we haven’t seen since and will likely never see again
Aristocratic Fury@LandsknechtPike

The most imposing depictions of Ottoman Empire you're ever going to find on screen can be found in Romanian movies filmed during communist times. A compilation of clips of Ottoman army invading from the movie Stephen the Great - Vaslui 1475 (1975), featuring thousands of extras.

@krus_chiki @Jay_JayLuvsYa There *was* 6 historical horse detachments in the Army, each depicting a different era from the Civil war up to around WW1. But the army last year ordered the shutdown of all but 2 , the one at Riley and Hood.

@goawaymossad @exactlyindeed @DeliaRamirezFan So the issue is that they don’t want to insure those areas unless they can spike rates for it. State caps the amount rates can be increased year over year, meaning there’s no reason companies would want to insure here, bc they will never even break even.

@nikicaga Tbh as a public health expert I’d expect him to know better than regurgitating slop. I mean healthcare reform at this point is doa unless it’s prescription drug reform, which has some movement.

@jenglarc Yeah Americans often don't understand Healthcare policy very well, especially when it comes to M4A. Regardless its probably not happening, but M4A advocates would almost certainly support a good public option too

@InkyP412269 @metr0politics Absolutely! But places like Germany, Argentina, New Zealand, etc would not have the wine markets and industries they do nowadays if not for the monopoly being shattered! It’s really a fascinating subject

@jenglarc @metr0politics that's fair but "there would be no non-French wines" is not true, there are many places with traditional wines

I generally don’t mind the French but the story of the 1976 Judgement of Paris has got to be one of the funniest patriotic stories of all time and also opened the way for other countries to garner respect and prestige on the international wine market

Sharaab Singh@metr0politics

finally someone typed it all out lol but saying America has zero culture is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard. One edit tho is that wine is also part of American culture bc there would be no non-French wines if America hadn't broken the cultural monopoly in 1976

@InkyP412269 @metr0politics Yes but they didn’t herald the same prestige as French wines. Prior to this, other non-French wines were “good” but a French wine would always beat them out due to the prestige factor.
