I’m a Harris Progressive I curse.

Just once I'd like to see leftists respond to a Democratic primary victory by actually reaching out to their opponent's supporters instead of trying to bully them into falling in line because they have nowhere else to go. Maybe it'll happen this time. So far, my replies have not been encouraging.

Some things are bigger than the obvious like Bush being thrashed in Missouri. Some voters get turned off with a daily dose of negativity and not enough talk about their pockets. He will need to fix his platform to appeal to Stevens voters watched his surrogates chase the woman down and harassed

Regardless of how one feels, Stevens got thrashed all across social media and wasn't hyped up and damn near won. Make the excuses you want to make and that's fine but that's a red flag for folks who support AES. No, it wasn't AIPAC that made this race close.

Former Republican Sen. Jeff Flake just endorsed Jon Ossoff for Senate in Georgia. "Character matters. And I want someone in that seat who takes the institution seriously and will protect the institution."

Former GOP Sen. Jeff Flake backs Jon Ossoff, saying ‘character matters’

The Arizona Republican has been one of the loudest critics of President Donald Trump. He says Ossoff's character outweighs any policy disagreements they might have.

So anyway, I expect all the El-Sayad stans who called both Kamala Harris and Haley Stevens genociders will, now that both women have endorsed him following his 1.3% win, say that he's tainted by the association and they can no longer support him. If they're consistent, I mean.

Graph showing results of Michigan's Democratic primary for U.S. Senate: E-Sayad 48.8%, Stevens 47.3%, and McMorrow, who was no longer running, 4%.

They indicted an Olympian for damage their own contractor caused. 5 hours cuffed. National smear. Then dismissed “without prejudice” so they can do it again whenever they want. Prosecutors get immunity. Does this poor man even get an apology? #USDemocracy #RisingBlue apple.news/AEfSKoBgCSa2...

BLUMENTHAL: Judge Cook, who won the 2020 election? COOK: A joint session of Congress certified Joe Biden BLUMENTHAL: How many times have you rehearsed that answer with the White House? Who won the popular vote? COOK: So if you look at each state, the governor-- B: So you're unwilling to answer

Breaking: CoreCivic has announced they've sold the 1,600 bed Prairie Correctional Facility in Appleton, Minn., to the U.S. through the Department of Homeland Security for $495.6 million. CoreCivic will still manage the facility, which is expected to start receiving ICE detainees this fall.

8. Stop the defeatist language when asked about what you’ll do. Don’t concede you won’t be able to pass legislation. Your primary opponent had done it. Other Dems have. 9. Actually listen to Black voters instead of paying a pastor 75k. 10. Fix your margins in the places Rogers will win.

4. Drop the astroturf-lite influencers instead of partying with them. 5. Drop Fight Agency because Platner’s consultants’ voter suppression tactics aren’t gonna help in a general. 6. Get new pollsters because he clearly bought his own emotional support polls. 7. Stop the noun/verb/aipac idiocy.

If I’m him- things I’d do immediately- 1. Disavow Piker. Run the bus over him. 2. Apologize to Scholten privately for the dogshit sexism of stans using Johnson’s shitty oppo against her. 3. Disavow “supporters” who signed up to sabotage shifts or trolled about it with millions of followers.

The NRSC has already dropped a brutal attack ad & honestly where’s the fucking lie in it? x.com/polltracker2... Because some of this HAS been floating around publicly for a while. That stupid wannabe himbo fuck Piker is fair game too frankly. He sure helped his clown friend in Missouri yesterday. 😏

I haven’t been able to find a snap poll but I’m exhausted & don’t wanna dig. If he wants to win the general he’s got a few things he could do to maybe help his odds. I’m skeptical he’ll do them but he’ll need to humble himself. Not even breaking 49%, let alone 50% is a worst case scenario for him.

NEWS: Rep. Chuck Edwards (R-NC) just dropped out of his re-election race at 3:32 a.m.m. He said he’s done running but will finish out his term. This after the House Ethics Committee found “substantial reason to believe [he] violated House Rules related to sexual harassment and hostile workplaces.”
