I see. No right-wingers have started a whisper campaign about Kirsten Gillibrand (as was obviously inevitable), because one of the many responses pointing out that it was bullshit (and one of the two or three most prominent among google-pushed news search results for Gillibrand today, which also include beloved political commentary journal WaPo - https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-line/wp/2018/03/29/fake-kirsten-gillibrand-flap-reveals-double-standard-in-our-politics/) was published by a source I've previously called out, got it.

thanks for the update, Brad. I had no idea, I still think of it as a paper magazine that seemed to sell middling rock/indie/folk acts to white dudes in their 30s

Thomas E. Dewey, GOP presidential nominee, 1944 and 1948.
As for elected national politicians, Charles Curtis, VP from 1929-1933 and Thomas R. Marshall, VP from 1913-1921
The last fully bearded presidential nominee was Charles E. Hughes, GOP nominee in 1916.

I was pumping gas last night and a guy at an adjacent pump asked me "so who ya voting for? newt?" I was kind of dumbstruck as to why anyone would ask a complete stranger who they're voting for in the GOP primaries.

Cory Booker can eat a hill of butts. But Warren’s capitalism is hardly a surprise — she’s written three books about it.

she put out two dumb statements in quick succession (one on israel/palestine, another on the military being "socialist" or some shit)
― Simon H., Tuesday, 17 July 2018 17:00 (five years ago) link
as I see NP covered the former
xpost Ocasio. Although that reminds that there were some big twitter leftist accounts who got mad at Warren some months back because she was stressing the need to save the Iran Deal.

honestly i don't care about these stupid purity tests and would have no issue voting Warren or any of these people. none of them have the baggage of Clinton, her Iraq War/Patriot Act voting record, etc. that we were told to ignore & the recent memories of which makes it extra hilarious when non-US ILXors bang on about how horrible these people are because they wrote a bad tweet or something.

it's been a process of discovery for me that the current position we're apparently all supposed to have is for a single democratic secular state; a two state solution, which "recognizing israel's right to exist" is apparently understood as a euphemism for, is seen as more of a catchphrase than a feasible reality by now given the incursion of settlements into what would otherwise be a notional palestinian state.

citation needed there
the (relatively) popular consensus among most left-wing folks with an interest in the topic is that a single secular state is a preferable solution, the case for which is laid out in a ton of places, here's an example

"recognizing israel's right to exist" is more traditionally a euphemism for "and they can do whatever the fuck they want"? I share the bemusement.
