I can't believe the Democratic Party of the US is heading into another catastrophic election season without working out a better plan for Gaza.

@elplatt and Democrats stayed home.
@evan It's just not true. Look at the swing states. A comparable number of Democrats voted in 2020 and 2024.

@evan He's African-American, no?

@mpjgregoire he is!

@elplatt about half a million fewer in swing states with raw numbers.

@evan If the democratic party wants to fracture over foreign policy...while a fascist movement is gaining strength, they deserve the pain.
@ethanOS I agree. We have to concentrate on our shared values, like democracy, multiculturalism and fundamental human rights.

@mpjgregoire I think a lot of people scoffed at this when it came up. A lot of the rest of us know that identity is something that doesn't always fit into an easy slot on a form. Having to deny part of your identity to fit into a specific box is dehumanising. I like that Mamdani found a way to connect to his heritage on the form.

@evan Maybe. Sure, identities are complex. But if the purpose of that question on the form was to make it easier for Black applicants to get into Columbia, then it would be unfair for him to benefit.

@evan Let's talk about the analysis in that article. The 700,000 uncommitted votes were in the primary, not in the general. The 422,000 number is voter demobilization, not Gaza. The article talks about states where elections "have" been won by 10k votes without mentioning that the actual margins were much higher in 2024, between 30k and 187k. The total number of D votes lost in swing states was 78,519 vs a 810,994 gain for Republicans. The article is intentionally misleading.

@elplatt I trust Al-Shabaka. If you think no changes are needed to Democratic Party policies and platforms, or that they'd be harmful, I encourage you to let your representatives and party leaders know.

@mpjgregoire so, you support affirmative action for Black people in college admissions?

@evan No, not really. I've spent too many years listening to #GlennLoury to do so.
But I think there's a stronger case for #AffirmativeAction in university admissions for Black Americans than for Mr. Mamdani.

@mpjgregoire I liked this opinion piece in the topic.

@TotalSonic @blaine @wjmaggos you're right; that is a tangent.

Abbiamo inaugurato la stagione del
"Piumone da Letto".
Come già detto altre volte non mi capacito che i suoi inventori non abbiano vinto un Nobel. 🤔🤨
Per la pace.

E comunque, dio bono, devo riprendere la mano con questo posto: si vede che il social «blu» mi ha rincitrullito seriamente (scritto dopo aver cancellato un post per sbaglio nel tentativo di ricondividerlo, imbranata boomer che non sono altro).

@mora
Israelestina? Poi si dovrà scegliere anche bandiera e inno nazionale.
Ma direi che se si fosse d'accordo per fare una costituente per arrivare all'obbiettivo questi son problemi, in quella sede, risolvibili

@bradipo oggi spaziali.
Che poi a me la pallavolo maschile mi piace un sacco, più ancora di quella femminile. Ero una appassionata della mitica nazionale di Velasco.

@eriol i peluche sono stati un successo. I gattini li hanno adorati.
