El-Sayed: To AIPAC who spent $42 million against us. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to beat you twice.

On first glance, the election results seem to indicate that candidates matter and more moderate/heterodox ones tend to do better than progressives. But they also suggest that Democrats have far more room to "lib out" nationally than moderates supposed

Soon we'll be talking about the "Long 2016"—a period of accelerated democratic backsliding, coinciding with the growth of an influential socialist left. What comes next is underdetermined.

If I'm Democratic leaders right now, my first order of business is getting laws on the books that roll back presidential pardon powers.

Lindsey Graham starts the war he hungered for his whole life. He dooms his party and president, dies, and then his sister loses his seat in a historic rout.

As a Marxist materialist I’m supposed to think everything that happens is the product of deep economic forces. But if Trump has simply not done tariffs and not started a war with Iran, both of which he did because he’s a world-historical moron, he’d be taking a modest hit tonight

Let's be clear what happened: Having tried & failed to use $30 million of AIPAC money to get voters to reject Abdul, Haley Stevens' Plan B was: threaten to sabotage the general unless Abdul "moderated" on Israel. He declined to be threatened, so she pressed the nuclear button.

I want to thank Haley Stevens for so succinctly destroying every centrist talking point that's been rammed down our throats for the last 6 months.
