Spain better win so I don't have to root for Portugal in the QF

Can we start elevating Karishma Manzur from NH as a candidate?! by Funkiefreshganesh in dsa

Is she a DSA member? We shouldn't be promoting every progressive candidate. There is already one endorsed congressional candidate in NH and the chapters there are relatively small.

not saying he wasn't the best player at the tournament. The level of tennis on natural surfaces right now with Alcaraz out is truly in the toilet.

It's bad when it's low anywhere. It's low more on grass, but if you can give him a low forehand on any surface, very good chance he misses. He misses a crazy number of sitters because of it, on all surfaces.

Nice reaction from Mensik. He's definitely my favorite personality of the young guys.

Mensik should seriously consider completely retooling his forehand. It'll make him worse for a bit, but that wing is never gonna be any good the way he hits it.

If he ever figures out how to hit a groundstroke, Mensik will be deadly on grass lol

Murray is definitely ahead of Sinner at Wimbledon for now, would not bet on this remaining the case but...

His level was clearly higher a few years ago, aside from the serve. The field has never been worse though.

Wimbledon R2: N. Djokovic def. S. Tsitsipas: 6-3, 6-4, 6-2 by padfoony in tennis

[–]zellfire 94 points95 points  (0 children)

It always sucked on fast courts (not least because of his bizarre slice), but the Tsitsipas backhand used to be decent on clay- I feel like people forget that. And the serve and forehand were of course much better.

Shame for PCB about the light, Jodar is hurting and hard to see how he'd lose if they finished tonight

I say this every time I see him play, but it remains true: I have literally never seen Borges play well

NYC Councilmember Vickie Paladino Openly Calls for Ex-Judicial Killings of DSA Leadership, Echoing Historical Assassinations of people like Fred Hampton by larryleggs in TrueAnon

[–]zellfire 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Of the 27 NPC members in that photo, somewhere between 0 and 10 could be identified as social democrats (depending on where you draw the line with SMC, Groundwork, and Carnation- I would personally probably just say 4). I doubt any would self-ID as such.

A majority of active members- and therefore leadership- in DSA are Marxists. Red Star and much of Springs of Revolution are M-Ls, Marxist Unity Group are Ortho-Marxists, Reform & Revolution are Trotskyists, Bread & Roses are sorta post-Trotskyist, LSC are quasi-anarchists, even Groundwork ID as Marxists though they're on the right of the org.

France are miles better and probably gonna win the whole thing but I'll believe that third goal was legit when they show the graphic and not a moment before lol

The booing would be something to behold, but even with SW inside the baseline her movement is so poor that a drop serve would not be the worst play

If Joint was playing Serena Jones and she played exactly like this, this would have been a 1 and 1 match tbh, but the name still does a lot of damage.

Serena's movement is absolutely nonexistent lol, how did Joint lose that point
