@cmclymer Only two of those statements are true, and the second one only by a hair's breadth (it forces you to choose between simeone who will rubber stamp Trump's judicial nominees and a toxic, hateful antisemite who makes excuses for violence against the Jewish community).

Bin selber Ossi. Habe in einem verkommenen Produktionsbetrieb gelernt. Kohlen geschleppt. Die verdreckte Luft geatmet. Alles, was mich umgab, war kaputt, auch die Menschen. Im Unterschied zu denen da bin ich aber den Wessis dankbar und versinke nicht in Mitleid oder habe mir eine besondere Antenne für Diktatur angedichtet. Obwohl ich die schon damals hatte und demonstrierte als die Vopos noch prügelten. Die da haben damals gar nichts getan. Die da hatten es nie schwer, auch nach der Wende nicht. Schwer hatten es die Polen, Ungarn, Tschechen und vor allem die Jugoslawen - denen als Flüchtlinge im Osten die Scheiben eingeschmissen wurden.
Wir im Osten hatten abgefederte, auszuhaltende Probleme, aber waren 1990 alle in Italien und sonstwo wie Graf Koks am Buffet und wedelten mit der D-Mark.

Und jetzt stehen die da und halten sich für erleuchtet - winken mit Russenfahnen und ergötzen sich in Vernichtungsfantasien gegen „Altparteien“; in denen sie sich nie engagierten.
Dabei müssten die auf Knien rutschen dafür, dass Leute aus Essen, Dortmund und Hamburg teilweise Kassenkredite aufnahmen, um im Osten den Russen-Schrott zu beseitigen. Aber NÖ: Riesige Klappe, von nix einen Plan und ein Handy voller Lesezeichen zu Nuoviso, Ken Jebsen und Daniele Ganser.

@BigBoris_2 Not to mention vultures, famous for their hunting skills.

@TrueSlazac You can think Ben-Gvir is an evil racist loon and Netanyahu is amoral for working with him while at the same time mocking pro-Hamas leftists for supporting a group they should despise. In fact that's probably the median position in Israel and among pro-Israelis in general.

[Florian Schrie @FloSchrie]

@burner09877 @trouble_man90 He tried to blame an attack on Jewish children in Michigan on Israel. That is textbook antisemitism. If a guy who lost family on 9/11 drove a car into a Muslim daycare and a politician tried to explain that with "hurt people hurt people", you'd call that Islamophobic, no?

Was sagt die Friedenspartei @BSWbund und @SWagenknecht 🕊️dazu? @FabioDeMasi

@jamalbros43 The obvious choice is Garry Kasparov, who self-identifies as Russian due to his upbringing and socialization in spite of not being ethnically Russian. He's been the most consistently admirable of the Russian oposition-in-exile, well beyond his stances on Ukraine and Russia.

@BachmannRudi Florida is a lost cause anyway. Vindman is great, but he could not have won and would have been a huge money drain a la Amy McGrath in Kentucky or Jaime Harrison in South Carolina because of his big national name recognition.

@StatisticUrban @JasonZParker Tester won Montana, a Trump +20 state, in 2018. TX polls mostly had Cruz winning and IN, a Trump +19 state ended up under 6%, a 13 point swing. Meanwhile Brown won Ohio by 7 points in 2018.

@butleriano You can't be "post-colonial" when you're literally in a war of independence against your colonizer trying to re-establish its rule over you.

[Florian Schrie @FloSchrie]

@mattyglesias Only one of the current swing states, Nevada, is less populous than the median. The only other small states to receive attention in presidential campaigns, Maine and Nebraska, do so because they have a rule allocating their electoral votes by the share in each district.

[Florian Schrie @FloSchrie]

@MyLordBebo I lived in an area subject to these BS rules in Berlin, the district admin even distributed flyers about it. Thankfully newly built apartment houses are exempt, because otherwise my apartment would have violated around a dozen "Milieuschutz" parameters.

[Florian Schrie @FloSchrie]

@stonkstothe @grok @MyLordBebo No, kitchens are usually property of the tenant rather than the landlord in Germany and are considered a separate, moveable good while bathrooms are considered part of the apartment.

Yes, those are dumb rules!

@IyegereS Me doing ancestry research and finding out that my maternal ancestors lived as farmers in the area 20-30 km around her hometown for at least four centuries: Yep, checks out.

But to be fair, according to my DNA there were probably a bunch of Swedish soldiers mixed in as well.

[Florian Schrie @FloSchrie]

@MonicaLMarks *Especially* under the USSR. It committed multiple landgrabs against neighbours, enforced Russification, dispersed ethnic/linguistic minorities from their homelands and actively settled ethnic Russians in constituent republics to dilute the native populations.

[Florian Schrie @FloSchrie]

@firebornnn @Wellstonecratt Brown won by 7 points in 2018 after Trump carried the state by 8 points in 2016. That'd be a big enough swing for him to win by 4 points this year.

@mehdirhasan Why would she apologise to a guy who wants to globalize the Intifada when, to the surprise of nobody, attacks against Jews spike under his watch?

[Florian Schrie @FloSchrie]

@BachmannRudi "Want" is the wrong word, but for Armenia, Russia is the largest trading partner, with more than twice the volume of EU, and the main source of energy supply. Plus sanctions evasion has been a lucrative business for them. So this is actually a pretty risky step. Hope it pays off.
