@dieworkwear I’ve completed the millennial menswear lifecycle: Brooklyn Tailors size 2, skinny jeans, then lifting in my late 30s. Now none of my tailoring fits. Since I only need a suit occasionally, would you buy quality secondhand (Ring Jacket/Caruso) or save for good MTM?
@CourtyardBrew@SprtsDrnk@ewarren@isaiahrmartin@AbdulElSayed You started with “win elections” and ended with “not those elections.” Calling routine primary challenges a threat to democracy is just a dressed-up way of saying some voters shouldn’t be allowed to win. That’s clear enough. I’m done here.
@SprtsDrnk@CourtyardBrew@ewarren@isaiahrmartin@AbdulElSayed I don’t think conservatives or liberal dems are stupid. Both understand power. The right uses it to advance its agenda; dem leaders use it to protect incumbents and contain their left flank. Gaza is a moral threshold for many voters. Calling them dumb won’t rebuild the coalition.
@CourtyardBrew@SprtsDrnk@ewarren@isaiahrmartin@AbdulElSayed Every dem loss is somehow everyone else's fault. Never the leadership/strategy. They spent years telling progressives to fall in line while backing unpopular policies, eg. support for Israel's war in Gaza. Now it blames voters instead of asking why its coalition fractured.
@CourtyardBrew@SprtsDrnk@ewarren@isaiahrmartin@AbdulElSayed Calling a party shut out of the White House and Congress, facing a 6–3 conservative Court, “functional” is generous. It is functional at policing its left flank. Parties are coalitions changed in primaries. If El-Sayed wins, Democratic voters have decided who represents them.
@CourtyardBrew@SprtsDrnk@ewarren@isaiahrmartin@AbdulElSayed This shit is so silly. That’s how insurgent movements operate in a two-party system. Bryan, McGovern, Jackson, Sanders, AOC and Mamdani contested Democratic primaries. Goldwater, Reagan, the Tea Party and Trump contested Republican ones. Voters decide who represents them.
@FreightAlley “Buy a TV” is a wild answer to fans being priced out of the world’s most global sporting event. The World Cup without accessible fans is just luxury content with national flags. It's poor stewardship and will ultimately diminish the product with no real fans in the ground.
@pauldgross@KahrimanovicNed@timstillman_ Yet they insist it’s not a war, as that would require congressional approval. And just last week Rubio said it was over? L
@NikolaCosmi Ah, a portion of the fans raised a tifo? Arsenal fans have organically raised millions of pounds over the last few years supporting the Zaatari refugee camp.
@cbenderatl @Margaritaville I live in the neighborhood, and we’ve made it clear time and time again it’s not something the neighborhood supports. West end mall is being redeveloped. South downtown is being redeveloped. Murphy crossing. Building a data center and creating a dead zone is short term thinking
