If you like John Wick, Nobody, The Raid, that kind of poo poo but want a socio-economic subtext involving the caste system this poo poo is for you. Dev Patel's directorial debut and this is probably the beginning of a tentpole franchise. He's going to be a thing.

When you have a film criticizing the rich and caste system and the bad guy is also a religious leader it ruffles feathers in India.

This looks cool as hell and I am deeply unsurprised Netflix bounced it because it won't do well in India. I was there when SRK basically talked some subtle poo poo against Hindutva bullshit and caused protests and counter protests. Also when weirds lodged a complaint about the kiss in Dhoom 2.

I mean, the Israel-Gaza news isn't some obscure thing. No matter what side of the spectrum you fall on, committing forces to a mideast conflict is deeply unpopular with American voters, and it just seems we are getting sucked in more and more with escalation against Yemen.

Biden has a worse approval rating than Trump. Add to that the recent polling in Iowa and New Hampshire which shows that identification with the MAGA wing of the GOP has plummeted and literally both sides are starting to get sick of their own bullshit.

I don’t disagree that this in particular will probably not have any traction with voters—the lack of meaningful reproductive rights codification, abandonment of the social infrastructure arm of BBB, and continued support of genocide are probably bigger issues.

Michigan is going to be pretty interesting.

Man, what an uninspiring candidate to run. AND he still owes me $600.

I kind of disagree with this, with the caveat that I have no hard data. To me this also seems like one of those things that people who spend a lot of time online are absolutely bathed in, so they assume everyone else cares about it just as much as they do. I am sure people have opinions and such, but at least in my anecdotal experience of talking with true moderates in my wife's family over the holidays or my highly educated upper/middle class coworkers it is much lower priority than standard US focused political stuff like the economy/social issues etc., and more "those people that have been fighting since before I was born are fighting again".

It kind of reminds me of that Chris Coons primary. I only followed it here because I do not live in Delaware, and based on the hype and enthusiasm I was kind of getting swept up in the goon wave of hoping the left primary challenger would win, and I assumed it would be a pretty close election based on how excited and engaged online people were. Then of course she got blown out, because when it comes down to it online people are still a pretty small percentage of the population, even if they are kind of noisy enough to think it is bigger.

It's kinda sad that day one of Bidens presidency the Dems didn't make it job #1 finding someone among them who wasn't in obvious mental decline to run this year. They had four years for this poo poo and didn't do it. I suppose the even more grim thought is that they couldn't find anyone expected to poll better than gramp gramp.

I think the DNC not actively working against progressives would be a start. They can't weed out good candidates that are a scooch further left than they'd like to uplift empty suits like mayor pete and gavin loving newsom. The national and state parties are 100% responsible for their bench lacking quality candidates.
