This woman is not a raving Soros rando. She has been decorated with the highest civilian honors in multiple countries - Italy, France, Germany, Council of Europe for her democracy work. She is an expert on "basic principles of human rights, democracy and the rule of law."

I just came across this in an Open Society Foundations document about how to fix public “mistrust” of liberal "democracy," and I honestly feel sick reading it. I've read many alarming quotes, but few are so "mask off" like this.
"I believe the time has come for a responsible, courageous elite, those who care far more about addressing the genuine social problems than about election results. Only a political elite with vision, prudence and a focus on the general good—to whom the electorate… can cede part of their sovereignty in the elections—will be able to justify public trust and spearhead... our struggle to survive.""
Read that again. The proposed solution to the public's distrust in democracy... is less democracy.
An unelected "elite" to whom the public should cede sovereignty.
Abolish democracy to save democracy. This kind of thinking is what we're up against.

Many asked me for early voting insights. The truth is, it’s far more interesting to share when it goes in your favor. Which is why I was pretty quiet this year.
I post this to not to discourage, but to go on record for what I honestly thought the data pointed towards. @SeanTrende

This time last year, Charlie made me calculate the margin on several key states the minimal amount of votes his team needed to turn out on E-Day to guarantee a win. PA and AZ particularly.
That was so much pressure. He was all about getting out the vote early, but if not, then figuring out what was needed on e-Day to win anyway.

To put in perspective how huge that is - I worked for a viral, up-and-coming social media company in its heyday.
Snapchat, Inc. Pulled in barely a billion dollars in revenue at the time, and yet had enormous influence.
We are so used to the government making a billion dollars look small when in reality just one billion dollars is enough to be a major corporation

The problem with Republican donors playing catch-up is that it's also structural.
If you gave me a hundred million dollars, I would have no idea how to spend it to mobilize voters.
But Open Society would know how to squeeze every last penny for maximum inpact.

• Rolling Stone should have closed shop a long time ago
• Rolling Stone has published articles glamorizing Hamas terrorists
• Rolling Stone has celebrated Ilhan Omar, who frequently makes anti-Semitic statements
• Rolling Stone loves to construct strawmen, burn them down, and declare victory
• Rolling Stone cannot name one policy position of Mamdani that is not Communist aligned
• In the new vocabulary of their favorite Senator, Elizabeth Warren, Rolling Stone can eat dirt

I think most of people on "both sides" have a caricature of the other side. As in, the pro-Israel people think that the other sides hates Jews at all costs, whereas the less-pro-Israel people thinks the other side worships Israel at all costs.
Maybe, just maybe, the reality is - most of "both sides" are actually America first and have a caricature impression of the other side.

My husband and I would not have been Saved if not for James Lindsay. Period. Full stop. And that's why I can't join in the bash-fest.
Pray for him, love him, know he will be a mighty warrior when he does believe.

No.
Iran bombing proved that micro-targeted strikes could bring peace without war.
Gaza -- frankly, that President Trump made a deal, proved that Hamas could have stopped all that destruction simply by accepting a few easy terms. And even then, didn't we find out afterwards that there were huge food inventories, just not distributed by Hamas?
Hamas leaders are not human beings. Hamas leaders do not value life. If you did not blame us for entering war against Taliban in 2001, you cannot blame Israel for entering war against Hamas. By all accounts, Israel handled Gaza in a way more moral manner than we did Afghanistan.

Hello Alex,
Your father spent the 1980s fighting Communism, or at least pretending to. You've chosen to praise what he claimed to oppose.
That’s your life's accomplishment: collapsing so far you make George Soros look consistent.
You and your father destroyed America until it was ready for foreign subversives like Mamdani to rise. You don’t believe he’ll fix New York. You just want to see it fall.
The difference between you and your father is that he had a mind worth wasting.

As far as I know, I was one of the few who expected a clean D sweep, and hopefully that gives me at least a little credibility in talking about why it happened. This is a structural problem and one that’s only going to intensify as the Buffett heirs begin spending their father’s fortune. That'll be worth a couple billion dollars pumped into the civic engagement network annually.
That said, listen closely to what @honestpollster is saying. The same structural issues also drive outrage and add to a feeling of "everything's rigged." A lot of people, especially younger ones, feel like the system is stacked against them. And honestly, they're not wrong.
I think the Israel stuff is mostly a way of externalizing that blame.

This is from a website put together by Democracy Funders Network, which is ran by the Pritzker family.
According to the website, the total "democracy" NGO ecosystem revenue is 33 billion *annually* with more than 200,000 staff.
22% of that funding comes from government grants.
Thanks for @SKDoubleDub33 for finding the site.

Successful people always take advantage of opportunities for their benefit!!!
Investment is like a seed that is planted, sprouts, grows, and yields many fruits!
If you don't plant, you won't harvest!
If you don't plant, you will spend your money buying fruits from those who planted...
Think well and invest
