It’s hilarious to me that Krystal and Saagar can be such confident two party dead-enders and then in the same breath cover how every Trump challenger gets wiped out in the Republican Party and how Kamala Harris and Gavin Newsom are leading for 2028. What are we doing here, guys? The intentional dismissal of a third party strategy when it’s barely been tried in recent years, and people such as Saagar and especially Krystal don’t put their money where their mouth is with respect to third parties, like she did in 2024 with backing Stein and then randomly no longer backing her has got to stop. It’s a straw man argument I hear every time with these two with respect to third parties. At this point I have to ask, who’s paying them to spew this nonsense?

As Krystal points out, the Voting Rights Act exists because for the first 200 years as a country, states (Northern and Southerner) explicitly prevented black people from participating in politics. So, we passed the Voting Rights Act to ensure those people could participate. We did not pass the Voting Rights Act to guarantee there would be black representatives elected. The Voting Rights Act only guarantees that a group of people who were systematically deprived the ability to choose local and House reps could choose them. Those people could choose a black rep, a white rep, a Latino rep, a dem rep, a conservative rep or literally any rep they choose. Its about the ability to choose not the outcome. Conservatives ...
I was watching Jewish journalist, Josh Glancy/Clancy on Sky News. He wrote a Sunday Times article discussing antisemitism and it is bad.
The media has spent decades vilifying Muslims and brown people.
Most British Jews are now upset that the hate they normalised against Muslims/brown people, being turned on them.
Be careful what you wish for your enemy because it will end up being used against you as well.
