    Oh, and centrist Democrats often urge leftier types to rally behind their nominees in general elections. I agree. Anyone claiming that there’s no difference between the parties is a fool. But this deal has to be reciprocal. Mamdani will be the Democratic nominee, and anyone calling themselves a Democrat should support him.

    I think the problem is the Dems have generally made sure this wasn’t an issue previously. That has evidently cracked and we need to learn everything we can from this candidate to help establish the precedence and playbook for ensuring future success and requisite selection of similar candidates in spite of the existing problematic political machinery or framework

    Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel winning economist. There’s no such thing as a Nobel Prize In Economics, and economists were upset by this and made their own prize with a complicated name that the media would shorten and muddle with a real Nobel Prize.

    If Nobel winning economists could convince the average voter we’d have luxury gay space communism already.

    People are too stupid for it.
