Bronin is billionaire/corporate/DNC backed while Larson was AIPAC funded. Both options sucked. Both are ok giving aid to Israel. I’m not looking forward to Bronin bringing his corporate-backed moderate democrat energy to my district

May I offer a bit of advice on saying the name Araújo? You have to stress the U, just like the double "o" in "doom". And the "j" is pronounced just like the "j" in "just".

I'm sorry, 'around the world?' Exactly what is Mamdani doing for the world, aside from empty promises? Sure, good for the residents of New York and all, but how is he a 'darling' of the world?

1:23 Abdul is explicitly NOT a democratic socialist. I love it if he were, but he has made clear, in definitive statements, that he is a capitalist.

If you get a tan for no reason, that could be a sign of Addison’s disease or hyperchromatosis. Both of those are very serious conditions. You should see a doctor soon to get those ruled out.

3:10 YES! Are they the same ⅓ every time or different people? Does it overlap? Especially with the ⅓ that can barely read?

I know why the innocence of the victims gets pointed out, but we need to start emphasizing the irrelevance of things like accusations of drug dealing/manufacturing. I dont care if someone is driving around with Walter White grade crystal in their car, unless there is actual imminent risk to the public we aren't supposed to shoot people in the streets. This isnt supposed to be Judge Dread and far, far too many people are comfortable with the notion that as long as someone is guilty of something it creates a post hoc justification for murder. It doesn't. If we don't keep pointing that out, loudly and often, we cede the framing of events to a debate of victim character and not LEO accountability. On that road we lose because misinformation is rampant and the bar is already looking up at Lucifer's floor.

I just want to let you know that YouTube cuts in your statement "This man has been credibly accused of (commercial break) -dren" with ads. That feels like it was done on purpose to lower the impact of your statement. All these companies are in bed with this administration. F these people.

Nixion chose not to wear make-up for the cameras in the 1960 televised election debate with JFK and as result it made him look like he was sweating on camera, so people tended to think it made him look anxious and is believed to have contributed to his poor debate results and losing the election.

I'm all in on the progressives, but sometimes they say a lot of too far out stuff we are not culturally ready for yet and turn off independents that were ready to vote Democrat. I'm retired and watch everything more hours than I should, but most of the people I know are busy and don't see the FASCISM as thoroughly as many of us. It shouldn't just be about the price of things. We need a whole system change.
