the west bank has been at peace with its neighbor for twenty years and its reward is being sliced up, dispossessed, and rewarded with permanent non-citizenship in any state
You decided to pick a fight with the entire website. It then went sideways because you kept doubling down with some truly awful posts it would be difficult NOT to laugh at. What exactly did you think was going to happen? If you pick a fight, own it. Don't do this smol bean birthday boy shit.
Absolute terms are dumb to use - has the quality of healthcare gone down since 500 AD because more children die today, out of our 8 billion? But it's still better, if not as exaggerated.

people are literally just making up a yglesias to get mad at. yglesias position on platner has been "he's a guy, has some problems, might win." he might suck ass for other reasons but claiming he's responsible for creating platner lets the people actually responsible off the hook.
imagine having shittier takes than nate silver and not feeling a deep need to commit seppeku out of shame
It is in fact true that having Byrd around was a stain on the Democratic party, and it also matters that Byrd was forced to go on an extended apology and reform tour to remain a Democrat. Is that what we're seeing?
USAID was in the platform voted on in 2021. it was only taken out last year after USAID had already been destroyed!
How is it 3 in 4? Are we counting people who washed out of college here? Those are way closer to high school grads than any degree holder.
I mean, is it any less believable than the conversion that two in five former Israel supporters had in the last four years? There's like fifty million people on that boat.
sorry what exactly is the problem here? that he didn't call it genocide quickly enough?
