me: maybe he's actually talking about the IDF!
you: yes, possibly. but then what's the connection between the NYPD and American capital?
me: y'know, the noted, SCOTUS-defended, police prioritization of protecting capital and property over people.
you: no, actually, "capital" means Jews! that point i acknowledged earlier? completely irrelevant! and so you don't ask me to explain further and reveal my antisemitism, something something terrorism

As many liberal posters have, you downplay the realities of what it means to be a Muslim/Islamist, terrorist supporter.

as every conservative poster ever has, you've DARVO'd the absolute shit out of this exchange. what do your own delusions about Mamdani's supposed terrorist sympathies have to do with his accurate observation from two years ago that the IDF trains the NYPD?
 

Crockett inches toward Senate run​

In an interview for “The Conversation” with POLITICO’s Dasha Burns, the Texas Democrat said she’s “about to spend a lot of money” to poll her standing statewide.


“… Crockett said she’s had “multiple conversations” with someone she’d potentially tap to lead her campaign, without naming them. She said they discussed her chances in a general election against the field of Republicans in the primary, noting that Cornyn would be a stronger challenge than Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and Rep. Wesley Hunt.

“I’m going to be flat out with you and tell you that I don’t think that there’s a Democrat that can take out Cornyn,” she said. “For me, I would be making a very last-minute decision because it’s not just about winning the primary. You gotta win the general.”

If Crockett does jump into the race, she’d join state Rep. James Talarico and former Rep. Colin Allred in the Democratic primary. Former Reps. Beto O’Rourke and Joaquin Castro have also left the door open to Senate bids in a race that Democrats will likely need to win to maintain a chance of regaining control of the Senate.…”

Is this a good sign, bad sign, or what for NJ Democrats?

It’s a sign things are close.

Democrats have dominated the mail-in ballots, so even a narrow advantage in person is a positive. That said, things are very close early in person. We don’t know how anyone is voting and there are a lot of unaffiliated votes being cast.

Dems had a 41-31 lead based on voter registration in 2024 but Harris won +5.5.

There was a seismic shift of Hispanic voters toward Trump in 2024 that political observers expect has shifted back against Trump but aren’t sure how that will play in an off-year state election.

The 2021 gubernatorial election was unexpectedly tight, and Ciattarelli overperformed expectations then (with the Dems suffering apparent defections due to COVID restrictions in the state and blowback after Biden’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan and Biden’s general tanking in polls):

The 2021 election was during COVID and the first time NJ had early in person voting.

This was considered a carry in the coal mine for Dems in 2022.

It is VERY OK to not like the guy with a Nazi tattoo.

The thing most troubling to me is the number of dems trying to make it ok.

If Nazi shit is no longer a definitive line for acceptable candidates we’re fucking cooked.

but if he's not really a nazi or a nazi apologist, then 86'ing him over a dumb but not unforgiveable tattoo would be stupid.

i haven't really seen enough evidence one way or another to make a determination about where the man truly stands.

on the one hand, it's disturbing that he had the tattoo and had it for as long as he did but on the other hand he's gotten rid of it and disavowed the meaning behind it....

Any way you cut it, it is a bad look. We can quibble over how bad of a look it might be, but he isn't someone I want representing the democratic party, especially in our current political climate. But, that is easy for me to say, as I don't live in his state.

All I'll say is that if NJ voters are dumb enough to elect a GOP governor after everything they've seen from Trumpers since January then they deserve all the pain and shitshows that will surely follow. Voters anywhere have no excuses whatsoever if they vote Republican after what we've all seen since January. They actually had no excuses dating back to 2016, but at this point you've got to have your head stuck in the sand and live in an alternate reality to believe anything any Trumplican says in any state. If Ciatterelli wins I can't wait for all of the articles next year with NJ voters saying "I didn't expect that Ciatterelli would do all of these things that are hurting us, I just didn't believe a Republican would make these drastic cuts and go after his enemies and do all this crap. Who could have guessed?"
