oh that’s fuckign rough for darializa. no greater chance to test the generational split in black and latino politics than right now
NEW: House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, leaders of the Congressional Black Caucus and Harlem’s Black political establishment are holding a 3 pm press conference today to (presumably) endorse Rep. Adriano Espaillat.

reading books about the 1910s-1930s is always crazy bc you have to just pretend that these were normal names for americans beings to have

incredibly funny that the non-ideological american party machine originated in new york to create the democratic party and it’s in new york where that style of machine is absolutely crumbling in the face of an ideological onslaught

finally got around to reading david kennedy (should have done this much earlier) and laughed way more than i should have at the image of roosevelt pushing through a "fuck you" 79% marginal tax rate that only applied to one guy

it’s so cool how people who only watch children’s cartoons have recreated the du bois vs langston hughes split from first principles. the internet is a beautiful place
there's this phenomenon where severe oppression leads people to be so scared of being a bigot that they overcorrect to a weird noble savage view of minorities

also younger nonwhite voters have next to zero loyalty to these established politicians and political machines.
yes, valdez will put up assad margins with ridgewood whites, but my guess is that she'll win young hispanic and black voters too.

older machines would not have fared this badly btw. both rural and urban machines used to be really good at co-opting and defusing radical challengers (or getting the state to crush them) and they have atrophied and calcified into not being able to do that on the east coast

the party machine is still vibrant and extremely alive in california and hawaii tho. unclear what the cause is tho. state size, sedentary populations, and whatever the opposite of single-city syndrome all play a role but.
