That, and certain groups religious and political leanings. Evangelicals believe Israel is the fulfillment of prophecy for one. Neo-cons that want Israel to help fulfill their dream of US domination over the region for another.

Yeah, that's a pretty big one. Most polls show Evangelicals have more support for Israel than Jewish people in the United States.

Ghost Econ 06-17-2025 01:54 PM

Probably because those evangelicals think of the Jews as just lacking a little push to Jesus or they'll be easier to convince to hand over Israel than Muslims would be.

Interesting, since Islam is closer to Christianity in its beliefs on Jesus than Judaism is.

No, it is this (from that article):
Quote:

Many evangelicals maintain that the continued existence of Israel is key to their understanding of the end times, as explained in the Book of Revelations. They believe that Jews must possess their own country in the Holy Land of Israel before the second coming of Jesus can occur, which is seen as the ultimate goal in Christian theology, with the establishment of a Christly kingdom on Earth. These distinctive religious beliefs lead to significant differences in evangelicals’ views of Israel compared to other Americans.

He's apparently over $10 million in debt and his pillow company is mostly dead. Another guy that destroyed his own life for Trump and got nothing for it.

Trump complains we have "too many" non-working holidays. Just so happens he complains about that on Juneteenth. Coincidence? I think not. I wonder which holidays exactly he wants eliminated? I think we all know the answer.

Assuming they lose a day of PTO for it, they do (or should). I don't know about all companies, but that's the way it was at the place I worked when we started getting it off.

There's an intelligent discussion to be had around days off, PTO, and how to handle a society where different people celebrate different things, but of course we're not going to have it here because a) it's pretty damn far down on the list, and b) when the White House acts like a holiday celebrating the end of slavery isn't worth celebrating, "holiday" is not the key term here.

I mean why would you think that? Because they already tried to get him on Mt Rushmore? and rename the airport in perhaps the most Democratic Party strong, Washington DC after all? Surely he at least deserves his own National Holiday? I vote for Jan 6

The support Cuomo got from the party is why the Democrats are dead in the water. Just no interest in winning.

RainMaker 06-25-2025 01:27 PM

I didn't follow the race much but it goes to show you what having a young, personable person running for office can do on the campaign compared to some decrepit old guy you have to hide. The guy seemed to be on every talk show, podcast, etc that you could find. He cleaned up in the demographics that Democrats struggle with (young men primarily).

It's really popular among younger people and Democrats in general. It seems like his whole campaign was just picking issues that were popular with the base and going all-in on it. Helps he didn't have a bunch of corporate donors pushing back.

And when the party couldn't touch him on the issues, they went after him on Israel (which is just insane for a Mayoral race). But the party still hasn't figured out that Israel is quite unpopular with Democrats. Or that just being really racist doesn't do well with young Democrats anymore.

Regardless, they don't need $25 million to figure out what young men want. Nor a set of astroturfed podcasts. Just run young people who can speak well and take popular positions on issues. Not terribly complicated. Fuck, Obama did this in 2008 and they still haven't figured out why he won.

Trump said the price of eggs went down 400%. I told the kids I'm getting rid of all their stuff so I can store more eggs. I know they'll probably be a little bummed, but it will be worth it to get all that money.
