Counterpoint: 100 million for coffee in a year sounds astronomical, even for the 120k employees intel has. Like, what are they paying for, doordash starbucks?

Israel intentionally conflates itself with Judaism (religion) and Jewishness (ethnicity), so animosity they generate ends up being felt by the Jewish community at large. Failure to recognize this is just running cover for both the Israelis and the antisemites.

The point being, an excellent personal choice at the expense of the greater whole?

I've been wondering something, specifically related to something I heard mentioned last night on a stream: their hypothesis was that real life ground game, door knocking or whatever, doesn't matter any more, and the modern 'ground game' is social media and 1:1 conversations.

When 'reasonable' people delete/deleted twitter/facebook in droves, are we just ceding the ground game to the racists and the ones who can shout the most hate?

That was more snark along the lines of the OP than any serious research, though I expect there will be quite a few papers written on this election.

For what it's worth, it's likely when that book was researched that it was a minority phenomenon.

We have been down that road before. The state government will simply refuse to implement anything passed by ballot measure that they don't like.

I expect the abortion measure to take effect since it deletes out an existing law, but i wouldn't expect the minimum wage or paid sick leave to be worth the ink it was printed with.

Yes, but they're not winning the cities by anywhere near the margin they need to to pull it out.

This is really fucking bad, even if they find an ass to pull a W out of.
