The biggest threat to Israel's support from the US has never been various objections or debates about the occupation. It's that the government starts treating them like any other country. Israel's cause is an obsession of certain parts of the permanent foreign policy bureaucracy. It has no real popular constituency. Hell it isn't even a nice place to visit.

I think Jay is right about this though. If you're going to get rid of him do it for that reason, not to elevate some mediocrity via my turn-ism.

The DNC is run by f*cking idiots. This is why no one believes Democrats about anything. If Trump was such a threat they wouldn't be focused on kindergarten rules designed to protect the self esteem of losers.

Credit where it's due, I think he handled that quite well. Might be too little too late for him but no harm in a force for figuring this stuff out within the larger coalition.

Part of the challenge for Hogg personally might be that... well he's kind of a weener. He's also glued to one of those cultural issues that polls in ways that I think one has to conclude are kind of misleading and anyway aren't a priority.

However if he wants to start saying what has often been unsayable, maybe start making doing so contagious, I'm all for it.
