Shifting gears back to the NYC elections - it wasn't just the mayoral primary going on.

Manhattan DA was up too and aside from their normal job, they'd be taking over the Trump investigation from Vance.

https://twitter.com/Jonesieman/status/1411037446268243978

The presumed frontrunner pre-election was Weinstein who had a massive fund-raising advantage, including giving her own campaign over 3x times the amount of money anyone else raised overall ($8.2m) but she just conceded the race to Alvin Bragg who was the more progressive option.

AOC didn't endorse in the race, but she did basically anti-endorse Weinstein and listed Bragg as one of several better options. Preet Bahara, Teachout, Nadler, and Planned Parenthood among others did endorse him. Assuming he wins the general (which, y'know, he should) he'd be the first black person to be Manhattan DA.

Im curious when a heat dome or other extreme weather event is going to seriously hurt a large corporation. I think thats whats going to spark actual climate action.

Humans are very good at inventing there way out of problems (see Americas Covid vaccines) but we do unfortunately need something catastrophic to spark something first, and I would prefer sooner to later

I doubt anyone here knows anything, but does anyone know anywhere I could finish watching Philly D.A? I've been watching it on PBS's streaming app, but it looks like access to it expired on July 1st. I was under the impression PBS actually helped produce it, so this shouldn't be a rights issue, and I can't find any info for how else to view it. Very odd.

Edit: Never mind. I found it; it's on some streaming service named Topic. I had to go to the filmmaker's web site to figure it out.

If Biden maintains his mental faculties over the next three years (not being provocative one way or the other, it's just not a guarantee given his age), he'll be very difficult to defeat in a general. The contemporary Republican strategy of going all-in on white nationalism won't work against Biden, and their alternative - actually trying to field a decent candidate - seems like a pipe dream given where the party stands today.

Considering how close 2020 was, I'd say the GOP doesn't need a decent candidate to beat Biden. They just need one slightly less awful than Donald Trump. Pretty much anyone except Trump himself should have a great chance.

Edit: Well, anyone who runs on Trump-esque ideas. If the GOP is dumb enough to run someone like 2012 Romney, they get killed. (But that's not happening.)

This is assuming Trump 2020 was a weak political opponent, which is not the case. Trump 2020 got the second-most votes of any candidate in any election ever. I would say that a hypothetical Trump 2020 inserted into the 2024 election is a stronger candidate than anything the GOP has lined up right now by a good margin - if a more divisive one.

Incumbency is an incredibly powerful advantage Biden didnt have the first time around.

Although Biden not deteriorating noticeably at the age of 83 seems nearly impossible so I dunno if hed have the normal sort of advantage that comes with incumbency.

I still think that all things equal democrats could run basically anyone right now and beat anyone republicans send out.

Historically the party that claims election fraud stops voting because they think their vote doesnt count, and I see no reason why that is any different in this case where we had millions of first time voters who voted for trump and then think that voting was a waste because it didnt matter.

2022 will be a referendum on this theory, and if we see unexpected Dem wins I would be confidant if I were a progressive trying to push a progressive candidate

Trump filed a class action lawsuit against Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube for violating the First Amendment by banning him lmao.

Already trying to fundraise off it.

Among his complaints aren't just his banning but even shit like how they were removing posts that hydroxychloroquine was a cure for COVID-19 as the bullshit it was.

The fact that he's already blasting fundraising texts over this lawsuit exposes it as just more grift. I mean, he's so detached from reality he might think he has a chance because he's incapable of admitting/believing he is wrong but I think the real objective here is to grift more money from his cult.

The summary does not present it as such (ie uses present tense) and I'm pretty sure we've seen numbers from that timeframe plenty.

And they probably are better now. Not by as much as we may want, but a lot of shit happened since then.

Meanwhile, the 1/6 revisionism continues as Trump goes on Fox News and calls a domestic terrorist an "innocent, wonderful, incredible woman."

I meant the subject of Cuba in general. To put it another way, I think ending the embargo would solve some problems other people want to blame on something else.
