  • why would taking casino money be a problem

    Cause the casino was Miriam Adelson's, and she's one of Trump's biggest backers.

  • Tulsi Gabbard never changed parties while in office. Hell, she was a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus until 2021. She didn't change parties until October of 2022

    accusing its leadership of "cowardly wokeness, anti-white racism, [being] hostile to people of faith and spirituality, and dragging us closer to nuclear war"

    And when you look at Israni's platform, it's nearly identical to Gavin Newsom's. Swalwell himself is a very neocon coded Democrat.

    You can just... be in the Democratic Party as a Republican. It's fine. Jeffries and Schumer will let you do it.

    Hey, friendly reminder that this bitch voted for Marco Rubio right along with everyone else in the Senate.

  • That is a gigantic leap…

    From the narrative, sure. But that's the cliche they're leaning on.

    This is exactly my issue with this post.

    I agree. Like I said, "Jaws Music". The post is supposed to imply a lot more than they're willing to make explicit.

    We can talk hypotheticals all you want but if we are to make a point, it would be best to make a clear one

    The point of the post is to simulate the feeling of looming dread, then use the emotional response to build empathy with the kid in the story.

    I don’t think it’s fair to paint these parents as abusive

    This is all allegorical. "These parents" aren't anyone specific. The implication is that the kid in the story is staving off abuse. But, as we've both noted, it's also possible the kid in question is comforting parents who are - themselves - the victims of abuse or neglect.

    "Walking on eggshells" implies a consequence if you don't. The consequence could be a parent flying into a rage. It could also be a parent breaking into tears or falling into a fugue state. "I'm trying to avoid getting beaten by my parents" tells a very different story than "I'm trying to prevent my mom/dad from breaking down into a puddle of tears".

    a cabinet slam and/or a father being quiet

    Implies a high degree of tension.

  • Anyone who thinks Talarico won't align with the neoliberal shits the moment he steps into office is either very naive or very foolish. His state voting record says he's more than happy to play ball with the Libs.

    That said, way better than a Paxton or Cornyn. I'll take the liberal Christian over the Christian Fascist any day.

  • James Talarico wins Democratic primary for US Senate in Texas

    Jump

  • However, the democrats have had more than a handful of bad actors and turncoats in recent years.

    If you were worried about a turncoat, I'd argue Crockett had much worse vibes. Israeli apologist, surveillance state supporter, pretty cynical in her position on immigration, and deeply self-promotional in a Stacey Abrahams way.

    Also, her UAF fixation is... not great.

    Talarico has his problems (took a big chunk of cash from the casino industry, for instance). But his politics at least seems more populist.

    Idk if that's going to matter. Odds of winning a statewide office in Texas as a Democrat have been dogshit for thirty years.

    But if I've got to live with a mushy liberal Dem as a Texas senator, I'm happier with him than the alternative.

    Every time I hear someone complain about how much money this is costing, I picture that bloody backpack from the girl's school we bombed.
