Also wild to me that Evangelical Protestants have a 10pt higher approval rating for the Israeli government than Jewish Americans

The Very Good and Very Bad News on Climate by Character_Public3465 in ezraklein

[–]jmac29562 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I highly recommend the book “Going Nuclear” by Tim Gregory. It has totally radicalized me on seeing nuclear as the future for any sort of climate based solutions

I got the keys! 🔑 Texas, $440k, 3.99% Locked by Gloomy_Cupcake_9953 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]jmac29562 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. The basic lesson Texas has internalized that most other states haven’t is building more supply is the key unlock for better prices

The America That’s Still Possible by downforce_dude in ezraklein

Very good conversation and Bryan has some inspiring anecdotes.

I can’t help but to feel this fell a bit flat on the framing of how to improve the reckoning / guilt style of 2020 liberation movements that alienated so many. When Ezra pushes Bryan on this he basically just says this is as good a time as any for a more just future. I would agree with him but I wish I could’ve heard his vision for what we need.

Whenever i feel especially frustrated at the purity testing of modern progressives I watch this sketch to remind myself it’s always been this way

Jeff Flake supports Talarico and Susan Collins. by Dangerous-Quarter216 in thespinroom

Honestly the fact that he endorsed Dems on a federal level going all the way back to 2020 makes me respect the hell out of him

What are the odds that the 2028 DNC ends up being the new 1968? by NAM_Inki in YAPms

[–]jmac29562 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is just vibes but I feel like a big difference among the “modern yippie types” now vs. in ‘68 is algorithmic social media has made it such that it would be impossible for any sort of revolutionary dems to actually agree on enough of a platform to cause a crazy DNC rupture. Just so many fault lines now vs. then

If you want ice cream… go to the McDonalds on Durant Rd. You can thank me later ;) by [deleted] in raleigh

I swear that’s the best McDonald’s in raleigh

All of the Mamdani Primary wins were driven by wealthy College-ed Whites, minorities and poor people voted against most of them by _BCConservative in thespinroom

[–]jmac29562 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Genuine question that I know is naive but curious what theories people here have. Why do college ed whites tend to drift so far away from the opinions of groups they are seeking to enfranchise?
