I don't think that comment is hinduphobic because it is not specific to hinduism, he is referring to two individuals and is disparaging them along racial rather than religious lines.
If I said, live and on air: “Mehdi Hasan only moved to the US to sleep with white women!”
Am I being Islamophobic? If yes, why does he laugh when it’s said about two Hindu men? What does that say about what he thinks of Hindus?

I want to repeat this because Rufo's going to try very hard to sweep it under the rug:
The justification for questioning whether brown people can ever be real Americans was just a vague sense of not liking them. "I don't need any other reason" was explicitly spelled out.
surely you and all the other tech freaks defending huang had similarly charitable things to say about swalwell
People have no idea how sophisticated nation state activities are
If you are a target of opportunity for China it’s not unheard of for them to dedicate O(1000) humans dedicated to compromising you
This is what happened w their NYT hack in 2013, which was designed to send a message
They will compromise your friend’s friend’s friend to compromise you
And work down that chain until your friend invites you on a fun trip on a private plane to Mexico/Thailand/wherever (example)
Where some night you have a very boozy dinner and then you show back up at the house and some girls are there
You’re drunk and make a mistake and then you’re owned until you’re disposable
Nation state kompromat for “target’s of choice” is a system designed to find any individual’s weakness (you’re bisexual; a gambler, an alcoholic, drug addict, have a debt, adulterous, etc) and then force them into a situation of maximum amplification of this weakness
99% of people can be compromised using nation state capabilities and tactics

Putting aside people who have infighting OCD like Yglesias, Neera and a million DSA guys, the Democrats actually seem to be very in array.
The “moderates” calibrated to be more populist and the “progressives” have calibrated to be more pragmatic.

Very funny that the four Democrats won won some of the toughest districts and were most unexpected perfectly represent every ideological faction within the party
my other pet theory is that pete in 2020 was the true successor to bernie's 2016 campaign so this lines up

the bernie 2020 thing does not work as well but the bernie 2016 thing I think is very much vindicated here- a lot of these politicians that have outperformed are each a sort of synthesis of the older bernie and obama styles of politics

Political scientists love to say, don’t draw lessons from the Virginia governor’s race, and then every midterm it’s like huge lessons should’ve been drawn from the results in the Virginia governor’s race.

NYT: John D. Rockefeller IV, West Virginia Governor and Senator, Dies at 89
The rare Democrat in a fabled family of wealthy Republicans, he served 30 years as senator and helped bring health insurance to millions of low-income children.
