I wrote about the Soviet Union's treatment of Holocaust memory and the role that this deliberately incomplete memory is playing in Russia's assault on Ukraine, and Ukraine's response for @TheAtlantic.

www.theatlantic.com The Other History of the Holocaust Like many Jews from the former Soviet Union, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky grew up in a world that suppressed the truth about the Nazi genocide.

This ghoul only ever appears to ratfuck Dems. She literally dines with Putin who is literally committing a genocide in Ukraine.

At least during the Cold War traitors like this had the decency to defect to Moscow.

It's not hard to see where this is going. Jeffries will become speaker, fund the Iran war, fund genocide, trash Medicare for All etc.
A million powerless voters asking nicely is useless
A million Dems vowing to unregister as Democrats if Jeffries is voted in might stand a chance.

Leftists are outspoken and have a lot of allies in media, but they aren't winning in purple and red states. Normie Democrats gave Democrats their biggest win in a generation. Now they have to win the narrative fight & set priorities for January.

If you want to understand the state of play in the intra-party fight between moderate liberals and leftists, I encourage you to read this piece. I am highly engaged and some of these details were still new to me.

It’s not so hard to imagine a world where Democrats won MT / LA / FL on top of everything else — and many mirr Veterans Day election takes.
