    • If he will win, US will lost last support in Global South - India.   Grandma is the main reason of raising tensions btw China and US - her last days visit to Taiwan made everything worse.
    • Interesting article in the Washington Blade today.  https://www.washingtonblade.com/2025/07/18/rise-in-sex-parties-in-brazil-upends-countrys-gay-nightlife/    
    • Always love it when you laugh, Sis. MAGA-friendly "manosphere" turns heat on Trump over Epstein scandal   Some smart Republican politico predicted a few years back that a tidal wave was coming for the Republican Party.  And Republicans had no idea how to stop it.   The tidal wave was "youth". Well, they not only stopped it in 2024.  They turned it to their advantage.  Particularly with young Zoomer men.  Again, I think most of that was luck.  COVID.  Lockdowns.  Inflation.  Rent.  Now Democrats are the ones who feel awash.  
    • Again, hate to be a broken record.   AMLO won in a sorta landslide in 2018 because he had a vision that people were attracted to.  But also Nieto proved that corporate mainstream governance, Mexico's trickle down, was not working.  Sheinbaum won in a true landslide in 2024 because MORENA actually delivered results.  Despite the same inflation as in the US.   The three-way battle for the Democratic Party As much as something this complex and unpredictable can be summarized in one essay, that article does a really good job.  And the question is not which of the three wings are correct.  They all are.  The question is whether they can form a coalition.  And then, if elected, whether they can deliver.  I don't blame people who feel Biden did not deliver. You can blame it on all sorts of things, starting with global inflation.  But it still is what it is. This is the job of a leader.  Someone running for President is going to have to pull it together.  So as the article says Democrats will have to grumble until 2028.  But hopefully by then a lot of people will be hungry to unify and win. Trump had to do the same thing.  Build a coalition.  And he barely succeeded, twice.  The two obvious wings of the GOP are the old Chamber of Commerce wing, which is alive and well and loving its tax cuts and special interest laws.  And the working class/trucker driver/MAGA wing.  I would not call low-income people a part of the GOP coalition.  But Trump did win the votes of people who make under $50,000 in 2024.  Which is a huge indictment of Democratic failures.  And an explanation for Mamdani.  So if there is a third wing of the GOP coalition it is the "high prices" wing.  Which already doesn't like what Trump is doing.  Electric bills are up 9 % YTD.  Just wait till the Medicaid and food debate gets going. I love this abundance thing.  It focuses directly on stuff people want.  Abundant housing.  Abundant energy.  Abundant child care.  Better that than abundant democracy, I think.   Both Ezra Klein lefties and Mandani progressives want the same thing.  Abundant stuff.  Affordable stuff. It presents Democrats with at least two huge challenges.  The rich and corporations will have to pay.  Which is something Biden could not deliver.  And Democrats will have to govern well.  In Chicago the mayor's approval ratings got as low as a single digit in one poll.   Meaning a lot of the Black base that elected him are not happy with how he is doing.  The best thing that could happen is Mamdani wins and proves progressives can govern.  Which is, again, exactly what AMLO did in Mexico City.  And then the nation!  I'm not suggesting Mandani should run for President, even if he wins and is wildly successful.  I think Bernie proved that his brand of democratic socialism is simply a bridge too far.  Including for the working class.  We have a long time to figure this out. There are a few threads emerging that excite me. Just get old fucks out of the way.  Millennials are being awful polite not to say it that bluntly.  And I adore Nancy Pelosi.  I even think Chuck Schumer is underestimated as a clever political survivor.  But they excite no one these days.  And Trump is the same worthless old disgusting piece of shit he has always been.  Just older.  So some burst of youthful energy will happen.  We're seeing the previews right now in NYC. And the other thing is this:  JUST BUILD SHIT.  Just shut the fuck up and build shit.  Build affordable shit.  Just shut the fuck up.  Really.  Environmental blah blah blah just shut the fuck up and build shit.  I mean, it really is easier to build homes than bombers, or AI, or nuclear power plants, or a new electric grid.  It is not rocket science.  So just shut the fuck and build shit.  Affordable shit.  That is what Zoomers want.  And Trump, the faux real estate POTUS, ain't gonna do shit about it.
