⚠️ Democrats in array: Schumer, Gillibrand, and Whitmer coalesce behind El-Sayed
Neither speech targeted the other candidate and they both took aim at Rogers. Seems like both sides can recognize their true opponent and it would be silly to pretend infighting is going to be preferable to a Republican.
The truth is, both candidates are weak and the only thing that's gonna (and is very likely to) save the primary winner is the fact that Dear Leader is dedicated to Hoovering himself and his entire party.
looking forward to the centrists declaring a massive victory if Stevens lands anywhere from +.01% to -10% and immediately pivoting to Khive nonsense. looking forward to the left declaring they have received the mandate of heaven if they maintain a 3% edge. no one's happy and everyone's mad
meanwhile the six of us on team “shut up and get on board with the general election” banging our heads on the wall for a few months

Looks like a 10-15 point polling miss in Michigan regardless of who wins. And people have been writing a lot of electability takes using this data. It’s dangerous out there folks be safe

If Sayed wins by >10% in the primary he's very likely going to be fine in the general simply because he's already broadly acceptable to Dems. Rogers has gone pretty far to the right to fit into the current GOP - stuff like flip-flopping on the 2020 election blunts any prior moderate vibes he had.
i'm more worried about hong than i am AES, tbh
I think people doomsaying El-Sayed are kind of stupid on this here website, he's not loony enough to run more than a point or two behind a more centrist candidate and the environment will more than make up for that. I think they're also idiots for calling Stevens the anti-christ.
Slotkin tells me on Abdul El-Sayed and Haley Stevens, “the most important thing is putting a check and balance on Donald Trump, so I will support whoever wins.”
The thing that drives me up the fucking wall about this line of apologia for MAHA is that MAHA's strongest soldiers are not the desperately poor and uninsured, they're rich douchebags who shop at Whole Foods if Erehwon is unavailable.
oh my god no it does not. Canada has maha type cranks. The UK does. Japan does, Germany does, Sweden does, India does, France does IT'S NOT ABOUT THE MATERIAL CONDITIONS OF THE SYSTEM, WHICH YES ARE BROKEN MAHA IS A EUGENICS MOVEMENT NOTHING TO DO WITH THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM

Rare AOC L here. There are many ways to point out the flaws in American healthcare without needing to go "The MAHA people have a point".
There is pervasive corruption across our healthcare and agricultural systems that defy party lines. I meet with MAHA activists because a lot of their concerns are bipartisan issues that major corporations paint as partisan. The fight isn't left and right, it's top and bottom.
if people really want to debate the validity of certain classes of person in our society, I suggest we start with "irl streamers"

When you hear of an incident between foreign countries, a good rule of thumb is to start with it likely has local causes. Spain and Morocco have their own shit. It’s not a dastardly (((globalist))) plot to make Europe less aryan, nor a dastardly Zionist plot to get Spain back for verbal criticism.

I know it's easy to get mad at Dems, but this legit is a win. Stripping OMB of the ability to dole out grants is absolutely key going forward, especially before the midterm election
stripping OMB of the ability to dole out grants is an enormous win, this nukes the SAVE act, it prohibits further ICE bailouts, adding a "no, really, trump can't break already on-the-books laws regarding elections the federal government doesn't run" clause would be both unnecessary and unproductive
I still do not like Schumer and think he should get the boot as Dem caucus Senate leader as soon as possible after November But you do have to hand it to him and the other leadership Dems here and elsewhere - blind hatred of Schumer and co is an extremely stupid and misplaced take

The funniest part about the "Citizen Kane of games" discourse from 2013 is I'd argue it did actually have its equivalent moment that year, but it wasn't BioShock Infinite or The Last of Us, it was Papers, Please
Remembered the strand of gaming analysis that was 'when will it have its Citizen Kane moment' mostly written up by people who hadn't seen it or understood its importance
