Be careful putting all your hope on this campaign

No no. She’s an outside long shot on a good day. I’ve seen the polls. But the Iran War puts some of her most popular issues at the forefront of the race.

If you look at the cross tabs, Basically, Biss voters split between Kat and Fine as second choice, and all Fine voters break to Biss, and all Kat voters also break to Biss.

With some enormous undecides floating in the wind. It’s absolutely Biss’s race to lose. But as Fine gets more money and support to challenge Kat and Biss, she’s defining herself more strictly as a pro-Hasbara candidate. And she’s doing it in a race where Israel is a highly polarizing issue.

If this were typical times and typical campaigns, i’d say Kats done and Biss is going to win this. However, key issue I identified early: this is a poll of “likely voters”.

Like with Mamdani, a big turnout spike would favor the more progressive primary challengers simply because the high profile issues favor Kat’s campaign.

But also, it’s Chicago Politics and that shit’s cutthroat. Rahm Emanuel could jump out from behind a bush and just stab a bunch of candidates, idfk.

I mean they are litterally breaking a momentum for a blue wave which has never ever been at the scale this one the potential for.

Every sitting Democrat is lining up to pull an Andrew Cuomo when most races are lucky to have someone like Curtis Sliwa on the other side of the ballot line.

At least the primaries aren’t over yet. This might be what candidates like Talarico and Abughazaleh need to squeeze over the line… so they can join a rump minority of progressives in a legislature that’s green lighting another $50B to bomb Cuba in 2027.

“Don’t blame me, I voted for Kudos”.

It’s crazy to see a Congo Line of (D) Senators go on cable news and announce “I love our President’s war in Iran, I just wish he’d asked us nicely first”, as videos and pictures trickle in of whole schools being massacred and neighborhood hospitals flattened.

The same folks who were screaming “This never would have happened under Harris” a month ago have come out pledging unswerving allegiance to the Israeli flag over the weekend.

There’s nothing in the released files that implies Clinton did anything illegal.

I gotta wonder how you resolve a game of Clue if you’ve got the suspect, the room, and the murder weapon, but you still can’t figure out who done it.

Clinton has been credibly accused of sexual assault on multiple occasions. “I didn’t do the sex crimes on the sex island with the other rapists” is a “I smoked but I didn’t inhale” ass defense.

If you believe it…

“People should be in the streets to stop the war”

“Will a protest march stop the war?”

“No! But… it’s tradition, you know?”

Do you think Harris would have kept us out of Iran?

She’s not Trump. That’s all that matters.

If she hadn’t bombed Iran, it would be because she was kinder and wiser and more serious. If she had bombed Iran, it would have been for better reasons and with more international support.

But the important thing is that she wouldn’t be Trump.

Many of us are fighting against this regime

There are more employees of ICE than activist opponents of the American regime

No no no. Trump is worse.

This isn’t a single continuous policy escalated intermittently across both regimes.

I’m sure we’ll hear about the Hamas tunnels any day now, assuming the media bothers to report on it at all

At the moment, it just sounds like “America is finally winning again” on all channels and frequencies

we haven’t followed the constitution in a very long time

But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain - that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case it is unfit to exist.

Genocide does be like that.

Next they’ll start targeting all the bakeries.

The chain of custody has been irretrievably compromised.

I mean, I don’t think that’s the reason why.

The better track to prosecution will be the investigations into the money trails.

But that also won’t happen, for obvious reasons. Nobody is going to prosecute Jamie fucking Dimon for anything, even though he’s closer to the center of this web than even Epstein himself.

Me: “Just FYI, you’ve got undiagnosed ADHD.”

Friend 1: “Wow, what can I do about this?”

Me: “You’re too poor to access mental health care, and most professionals haven’t accepted this as a diagnosis for your racial/gender cohort. So, unfortunately, there’s nothing to be done.”

Friend 2: “What about me?”

Me: “You’re transgender.”

Friend 2: “What the fuck did you just call me?!”

Maybe aim better next time, Mr. Crooks

Do not be dumb and try to start an argument, don’t accuse, don’t talk about identity or race or gender or any other issue they’re already distracted with.

Btw… all of the names released to date? We doing anything about any of them?

Is Brett Ratner going to jail? No? He’s making Rush Hour 4 now?

How about Larry Summer? Woody Allen? Bill Clinton? Anybody??

They do what they’re told or they get fired and replaced with those who will.

Incidentally, last year the U.S. Army Made Four Tech Executives Lieutenant Colonels

Let that sink in

it’s exactly those actions that are creating ‘terrorists’

Even this hasn’t born out. We’re not seeing waves of terrorism on US soil by foreigners or radicalized domestics.

We’re seeing police brutality by state officials aimed anyone who “looks like a terrorist”, with some spycops bullshit to entrap a few useful idiots along the way.

Perhaps I’d have a different opinion if America/Israel struck military targets;

They’re dismantling the ability of the Iranian state to defend it’s sovereignty so they can bomb and assassinate locals with impunity.

They’re also randomly killing civilians, because these military strikes aren’t as precise or informed as the leadership wants you to believe

Killing a bunch of kids, makes sure the other side won’t surrender.

It’s a genocide. We don’t intend to let them surrender. We’re going to keep killing long after Iran has been fully defanged
