@RyanIsMunchy @nazzobetweeting Is it your genuine belief that only leftists ever throw their support behind people that are/become problematic?

[Calvin Schalch @CalvinSchalch]

@nazzobetweeting It isn’t leftists who “fall” for these candidates, it’s voters broadly. It’s no surprise that there are some politicians who cynically lean into left populism to get elected. Orgs like the DSA are great because they can vet and produce great candidates (like Zohran)

[Calvin Schalch @CalvinSchalch]

@markraymond People that care about politicians having signature bold policy’s (what made Zohran so popular), progressives that make up the activist base of the party, voters critical of Israel (80% of the party), people that are upset with the Dem establishent (everyone), and me personally

[Calvin Schalch @CalvinSchalch]

@Kynstagram @nazzobetweeting But leaning into right wing attacks on one of the few popular left wing streamers has extremely limited utility. He is loved by many in the young activists base of the Democratic Party and completely unknown to regular people. There is no organic constituency of anti-Hasan voters

[Calvin Schalch @CalvinSchalch]

@nazzobetweeting I’m curious why you love Zohran but hate the guy that backed him when he was polling at 1%. Hasan might have a personality that doesnt appeal to you but his politics are uniquely good for a political streamer

[Calvin Schalch @CalvinSchalch]

@nazzobetweeting I don’t think we’ve talked since before Trumps’ first term, but you are my longest followed political pundit

[Calvin Schalch @CalvinSchalch]

@nazzobetweeting Kamala Harris had a platform of hundreds of millions because she was the Vice President, but she decided to run a campaign that appealed exclusively to Never Trump Republicans living in Fairfax County, Virginia

[Calvin Schalch @CalvinSchalch]

@thesoypill His point is that Kamala Harris (someone with a lot of power) running a bad campaign is much more responsible for Trump being in office than him not endorsing her. Politicians are supposed to earn endorsements and votes, she was too busy bear hugging Liz Cheney to do that

@rivaLxfactor The drive towards endless profit seeking has stripped them of any creativity or character. Food franchises don’t sell food, they lease land. Activision doesn’t make games, they sell skins. To maintain high profits quarter after quarter companies act in increasingly absurd ways.

In Ep 226, "The Importance of 'Seriousness,' or Why Palestinians Can't Be Witness to Their Own Genocide (Part I)," we detail the NYT and WSJ's incitement campaign against UN aid agencies in Jan 2024 and how it directly assisted Israel's starvation campaign

[Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen]

Outrageous. Yesterday the Trump admin announced $30M for GHF—the shadowy group at the center of the scheme to replace humanitarian aid orgs in Gaza w/ mercenaries, leading to the killing of starving civilians trying to collect food. Taxpayers shouldn't be paying for this outrage. https://t.co/fxuvnMN1qc

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

.@KamalaHarris did an extremely effective job at the debate in demonstrating how absolutely unfit Trump is to become president.

To win, she must expand her agenda to include popular solutions to the most important economic realities facing this country.

They are probably just sick of people promising sweeping change and then getting into office and accomplishing very little. Every time Harris is up on stage she should make it clear that real lasting change requires the house and 60 votes in the senate.

[Calvin Schalch @CalvinSchalch]

When “undecided voters” say they want the “the fine print” on policy proposals I don’t think that literally means they want to read a detailed policy document (although detailed policy documents should be published).

[Rep. Jamie Raskin @RepRaskin]

America and the world mourn the loss of Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, a 26-year-old American killed while protesting in the West Bank. Everyone has a right to free speech without being shot down by a state. I’m joining global calls for accountability after this unprovoked killing of an American.
