🇫🇷 Jean-Luc Mélenchon, the leading leftist candidate for the French Presidency, asserts the French people do not exist except as a "political construction" Mélenchon has previously said he looks forward to the "creolisation" of France, called White people ugly, said socialism won't happen without Muslims, and earlier this year endorsed "The France of the Great Replacement".

I deadass thought “medi-core” (short for medium) was a genre for like a decade based on what a big kid once told me when I was 8
"hardcore porn" implies the existence of "post-porn", "ska-porn", and "anarcho-porn", among others

DSA is run by type-A personalities and, while I am not one of them, I do live to make them happy.

Surprised that there are not "Subway Guides" in NYC who make a living leading tourists to connecting trains at the really busy stations.

Blade Runner est une métaphore de la condition humaine, écrite par Philip K. Dick. Le personnage principal pourchasse des androïdes pour les détruire. À un moment, il est gagné par le doute lorsqu’il se rend compte qu’il est peut-être lui-même un androïde. Ces androïdes cherchaient leur auteur pour lui demander la date de leur mort. Nous, nous cherchons aussi des choses improbables car nous sommes incapables du Carpe diem. Avec la naissance de l’intelligence artificielle, cette œuvre est d’actualité. Nous découvrons qu’une machine peut être intelligente. Le problème, ce n’est pas qu’un robot nous remplace. C’est de se comporter comme un robot.

Bill Maher in 2004, on his knees begging Ralph Nader not to run as a third party candidate

Trying to find out if there are any confirmed cases of someone waking up from a coma after the 2016 election and, so far, this Reddit comment is the closest I've gotten.

No they suck. I’m not even anti on conspiracy theory grounds or anything. They fall out and hit the ground more easily and, if you move your head the wrong way, start whatever you’re listening to over.
80% of headphone-users on the L train to Brooklyn are corded rather than AirPods. Why is this? AirPods are a superior product, no?

Some may see this in contrast with Zohran's definitive no and point to the difference between cadre DSA and coalition progressive candidates, when the real distinction is that NY>LA.
Is L.A. mayoral candidate Nithya Raman a capitalist? "I'm a capitalist and I'm also a Democratic Socialist...we need to make sure capitalism works without harm to workers... to poor people." She says the DSA is a "big tent" but she disagrees with members who call to abolish police, prisons and the Senate. Interview via @InsidePolitics on @CNN

Imho there's a very easy way to answer this and it's that germs don't spread based on immigration status. Especially post-Covid, covering everyone is a public health issue.
Kaitlan Collins: “Do you think undocumented immigrants should have access to federally funded healthcare?” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY): “I believe personally that healthcare is a human right. I believe that every person should be able to go to the doctor.” Kaitlan Collins: “But if you could choose, do you believe [the law should be changed, allowing illegal aliens to have free healthcare]?” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY): “Pardon?… I believe in a single-payer healthcare system. Where if you go in and need a doctor, you can get the medical attention you need.”

One of the OGs of Medicare for All (from back when it was called "single-payer") @JohnMarty had a great response to this when he ran for MN Governor in 2010: a ton of undocumented people work in kitchens. Do you want your food made by someone who's scared to go to the doctor?

Is there any left-protest vote option for NY Governor given that Kathy Hokum, who still supports Israel and is cutting my health insurance so the 1% don’t have to pay more taxes, will definitely win? Usually vote Green in these situations but they’re off the ballot.
