@chap42chap @hecubian_devil Why would a "socialist" implementing neoliberalism upset who left calls the "Chief shill" of neoliberalism? If the GOP passes M4A, wouldn't you be ecstatic, not angry or upset? The policy & material outcomes are the goal not which political fraction takes credit?

@osprey_xviii @hecubian_devil Not physically possible to brute force. The space of answer is le 10^473. What ever logic was used it did not brute force this from 1st principals. Just go read math reddit.

@Kirblar024 @dvfollowsls @mattyglesias Yes, many leftist think its a moral failing on the part of liberals that they practice a politics that believes you should persuade & compromise w/ the median voter. To leftist the only moral politics is one that dictates to the masses the one correct truth.

[Nigel Kent Mesta Jr @nigelmesta]

@dvfollowsls @mattyglesias It's even worse. I think he would better be categorized as center right. Which is central theme of Matt's point. Is Trump an existential threat to our liberal democratic republic? If so then leftist should be willing to support even center right candidates to save our democracy.

@RoyaneEliz @truthslayer @SallyGold @ZohranKMamdani @netanyahu Well Trump invoked might makes right in regards to Maduro. Trump's only real constraints are the stock market or would 67 senators remove him. Mamdani doesn't have superior might vs the federal government so extralegal activity will be swiftly & aggressively stopped.

@RyanSolot @promethurious @SallyGold @ZohranKMamdani @netanyahu Unfortunately it could be considered insurrection. US law treats cooperation w/ the ICC against US service members, politicians or designated allies like Israel as an act of war & authorizes the president to use all necessary force to effectuate that person release.

@SuperStasBros @ShannoMenk @PSA_Sitch There is no power in Article II or III that can't be curtailed or outright overrided by having 2/3 of Congress agree to do so. Congress is Supreme as any person dedicated to republican government such as the founders would agree.

@nise_yoshimi @AprilTurtle_ Yes if Nolan adapted Evangelion it would always be the rebuild version & not the original. I just thought we all knew that when discussing this possibility.

[Nigel Kent Mesta Jr @nigelmesta]

@Gritty_Skulls @ianmSC Everyone in America except Trump has the just as much legal authority & ability to arrest ICC war criminals, that being none at all. So why are you asking Zorhan to do it? You can "arrest" Bibi just as well as Mamdani.

@NotATweeter17 @GeraldSwazo @allenanalysis Yes, they are terrible people pursuing immoral goals stupidly. The world will be so much worse for the end of Pax Americana.

[Nigel Kent Mesta Jr @nigelmesta]

@NotATweeter17 @GeraldSwazo @allenanalysis Its the official position of the Trump administration that international norms that support it's goals are good, those that oppose their goals are bad even if it's the same norm applied in different situations. Other nations should react according to their values & capabilities.

[Nigel Kent Mesta Jr @nigelmesta]

@deanskelter @genuinedog I think leftist & liberals can sometimes forget that alot of conservative sentiment & their continued victories are on the basis of aesthetics & moral hierarchy not particular policy or material outcomes.

[Nigel Kent Mesta Jr @nigelmesta]

@AgentofNuance @GoodVibePolitik Lawl, that's your scheme for effectuating justice for Palestine? Minor annoyances & ineffective posturing. "Let me place a banana in Hitler's path it will such a victory for the victims of his atrocities." Juvenile, unserious & insult to victims you purport to champion.

[Nigel Kent Mesta Jr @nigelmesta]

@AgentofNuance @GoodVibePolitik Please give me any examples

[Nigel Kent Mesta Jr @nigelmesta]

@NotATweeter17 @GeraldSwazo @allenanalysis Because he is a hypocrite & makes appeals to universal values & international norms when it suites him & independent sovereignty when that supports his desires better. A common vice for all international political actors.

[Nigel Kent Mesta Jr @nigelmesta]

@TexasJack62 @Josheye @Heminator @VertigoTigo99 A key feature of western civilization practiced by both it's liberals humanist & conservative Christians is that it's values are universal & apply at all times, all places & all peoples. Universalism is key theme of the West. All shall be judged according to Christ or Locke.

@WeirdOwlFlying @sunraysunray @jacobin A question, if I turned NYC/SF into 150 new states w/ the cooperation of their respective legislatures. What would be the basis of your objection?

[Nigel Kent Mesta Jr @nigelmesta]

@Valentine84_x @SADDAY_EVERYDAY @PolitlcsGlobal @nypost The Hauge as well as any other sovereign can attempt exercise control of other nations states as much or little as they find prudent. Deservedness is has very little to do with international relations.

[Nigel Kent Mesta Jr @nigelmesta]

@Apple_Straw15 @thekeyspleaze @allenanalysis It would just end with Mamdani arrested and Bibi free laughing his ass off with Trump. All the good he could do in NYC smashed as Trump takes federal control of area in rebellion against the United States.
