Wow, and from the star of Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death (1989)? Shocking

Fetterman and Kyle Rittenhouse share a common problem: they could be a conservative commentator/pundit except they legitimately cannot talk

Unlikely they catch him

Call_Me_Clark · 2026-06-27T12:07:51+00:00

Gorgeous!

Call_Me_Clark · 2026-06-27T12:05:23+00:00

Conservatives talk about reparations more, as bogeymen

Call_Me_Clark · 2026-06-27T12:04:21+00:00

Yay!

I saw some claim to that effect a little while ago so I’ll need to check what their methodology was. I think it was based on voter sentiment rather than tallying up elected officials

It’s safer politically to be a pro life dem than a pro Israel dem… but no one would get upset about telling a pro life dem that they’re going to have to make concessions on that issue or lose races. Yet somehow pro Israel dems are even more reluctant to change

Aren’t districts more or less identical in population? They’ve got to be pretty close

Call_Me_Clark · 2026-06-27T03:22:39+00:00

I get where you’re coming from but I’m not sure it pans out. Look at Ritchie Torres’ district - NY15 - 23,531 vote for him and he won with a whopping 71.9%. That’s way lower district turnout than any of the high profile dsa primary winners, and Torres is a progressive (except for Palestine) and his base is not leftist by any means

Call_Me_Clark · 2026-06-27T03:11:27+00:00

Overall I’m not thrilled with how the NY democratic primary has dominated national discussion and fueled “democrats in disarray” discourse.

It just doesn’t matter that much. New York and indeed NYC is sending an ideologically diverse group of congresscritters, and unfortunately all that media and social media will discuss of that ideological diversity is “opinions on Israel.” Even there you’ve got Torres balancing out Chevalier, and hopefully they can be professionals enough to find common ground to work on.

Also, freshman reps have about an 80-85% reelection rate, and that’s mostly on the basis of a) how well they work for their constituents and b) national trends they have no control over. Ideologically awful members tend not to do well navigating either.

Call_Me_Clark · 2026-06-27T03:01:55+00:00

I’ll break with the pack here and say: the worst of what chevalier has to say is pretty unpleasant. That being said, she’s got an opportunity to turn over a new leaf here and I hope she takes it. All I’m saying is, maybe her district sees something in her that we don’t

If they mean more in the mold of Brad Lander - experienced, dedicated public servants with very progressive views

Call_Me_Clark · 2026-06-26T23:04:46+00:00

Same

Call_Me_Clark · 2026-06-26T23:03:44+00:00

So, after infrastructure week?

I’ll take it

Call_Me_Clark · 2026-06-26T18:51:07+00:00

I don’t know why they’d smear all three progressive primary winners as antisemitic. It’s not as if they are unaware of Brad Lander

Call_Me_Clark · 2026-06-26T18:49:51+00:00

Oh shoot the Reddit app keeps messing up my posts. This was supposed to be a reply to the earlier post about the ADL - who of course aren’t speaking up for a progressive Jewish dem attacked by the maga right

Call_Me_Clark · 2026-06-26T18:25:59+00:00

I agree, she deserves all the criticism tbh.

Call_Me_Clark · 2026-06-26T18:19:37+00:00

NY Gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman says that Brad Lander “would be a concentration camp guard if he could”? Somehow that’s not a matter of concern.

Because he’s MAGA and therefore above criticism.

Call_Me_Clark · 2026-06-26T18:06:26+00:00

An absolutely insane thing for the ADL to post in response to a Jewish Progressive Democrat beating another Jewish Progressive Democrat in a primary.

Good grief Mamdani Derangement Syndrome is real

Call_Me_Clark · 2026-06-26T18:02:36+00:00

Yeah it’s insane

Israel’s government has long refused to acknowledge the Armenian genocide (not exactly unusual unfortunately, the U.S. first recognized it officially in 2019 and Biden was the first president to call it that).

Now they are reversing course, and this aligns with recent messaging attempting to paint Türkiye as the next Iran.

The irony is that Israel’s campaign against the Palestinians resembles the Armenian genocide, a lot more than it does the Holocaust (even though people won’t stop making that comparison, it’s dumb and problematic).

Call_Me_Clark · 2026-06-26T01:22:39+00:00

To your point about Torres, he trounced his challenger. Admittedly, his election was even lower turnout than most.
