"People are always lamenting that we don't have something like the Lincoln Douglas debates anymore. But the only reason we don't is that politicians in the mold of Harris/Walz don't think the American people deserve it. In their eyes you're just a rube. Veep was a documentary"

"@askmullan These types of bills are designed to fail and then provide talking points. The idea is you draft a Save the Puppies Bill but on p [----] you add in a bunch of pork for Dem districts. The GOP votes against it (rightfully) then Dems go around saying the GOP hates puppies"

"@BrettWilkinsSF @BrookeJenkinsSF @LillyRapson @AIPAC Brett do you unequivocally condemn the murder rape and torture of hundreds of Israelis on 10/7 by the terrorist organization known as Hamas which is explicitly committed to the destruction of a sovereign UN member nation and the ethnic cleansing of Jews from the Middle East"

"@JoelWBerry Vance can singlehandedly win this campaign for Trump by doing interviews every other day with all comers. The contrast between him and Harris/Walz in terms of facility with policy details -- or hell just showing up for questions -- will be powerful"

"@BrettWilkinsSF @BrookeJenkinsSF @LillyRapson @AIPAC Thank you but I think the inability to simply answer yes to my question is a strong indicator to readers to ignore your views on this issue. It's not that you may have a differing opinion or even that you might be wrong - it's that you're not going to be wrong in edifying ways"

"@BrettWilkinsSF @BrookeJenkinsSF @LillyRapson @AIPAC Also for your own benefit: The passage you posted is both taken out of context and mistranslated. Ha'am was exhorting Jews here to not respond to Arab violence against them with violence in kind"

"@loomdoop @BrettWilkinsSF @BrookeJenkinsSF @LillyRapson @AIPAC My personal opinion is that describing Jews defending themselves against torture rape and murder in a military campaign that has yielded one of the lowest civilian:combatant casualty ratios in modern history as "genocide" is a disgusting antisemitic smear"

"@jjmerkin Trump doesnt understand how tariffs work for sure. I wish we had a really economically savvy socially moderate Republican nominee that had been a popular governor of a blue state but I was reliably informed by our president that person wanted to put black people in chains"

"@PabloSFO @jjmerkin I understand that theres an election coming up and everything is messaging but we can be honest and admit that price controls and a tax on unrealized capital arent just not mainstream theyre considered foolish by economists across the political spectrum cant we"

"I am begging folks on both the left and the right to not burn their integrity at the altar of politicians who dont care about you. Wealth taxes penalize investment and encourage frivolous consumption. Tariffs are taxes on consumers. We all knew this until three weeks ago"

"There is nothing unjust about Bezos not paying income tax on something that is not income that he cant access to buy anything with and that is entirely locked away to finance innovation that benefits society as a whole. Dylan is perfectly aware of all this"
