Supporters of Bush and Bowman now face a strange incentive.

If they vote for Latimer and Bell, they will only embolden AIPAC and corporate America to use the same playbook in the districts of other progressive Democrats. And they will have them as incumbents in 2026.

If they do a protest vote (third party, write-in or stay home), that sends a clear message, but also gives the Republicans a +1.

On the face it, it would suck if the Republicans win their district, but also consider that a Republican win will (a) ensure Democrats field a progressive in 2026 and (b) show both Democrats and Republicans that the progressive vote is powerful and can be courted.

So it might actually be a good strategy. Look at 2016. Yeah, four years of Trump sucked, but it also made Democrats realize they had to court their progressive win. Corporate Hilary just couldn’t win without them.

Knowing this, there is also a Dark Brandon, scorched earth, move available: Vote directly for the Republican and give them a +2.

This will show progressives know how to yield their voting power and that they should be taken seriously as a group.

Dear OP, if you have TikTok, you might be interested in this video:

Short version: it seems AIPAC hates Shapiro and is running a PsyOps against him because he doesn’t like Netanyahu, favors a two-state solution and they can’t call him an anti-semite.

I don’t know what to think, but shit is complex.

Wait until you learn where the Nazi’s got the idea that they should genocide their minorities and steal land from their neighbors

!they were inspired by what the Americans did with the natives !<

Also, there are more Bosnians today than before the genocide against them. Genocide is not a numbers thing.

And second, most people will say that Israel is guilty of apartheid and ethnic cleansing between 1948 and 2023.

The genocide only started in 2023 after the attacks and is limited to Gaza.

Honestly, they almost all support the genocide and they all want war with Lebanon and Iran. The only Democrats opposing it are getting primaried hard.

The USA must have greenlighted the attack on Haniyeh, and very likely also helped carry it out.

So yeah, I get you. If I were American, I would probably still vote for Kamala, but it’s all very Orwellian.

Sure.

With Ritalin, I was more withdrawn and sometimes depressive or paranoid.

With Wellbutrin, I was more upbeat and happy, which made people react more positively to me.

That’s at least my experience. Yours may be different.

Ritalin made socializing even harder.

Wellbutrin was quite positive for socializing.

Just my limited experience.
