Something to note, but the Dem establishment closed ranks around Abdul El-Sayed mere hours after he won. With a Platner, it was still mostly divided/lukewarm weeks after he officially won the primary (culminating in a quick implosion circa the rape allegations).

Virginia Governor Restores Voting Rights for Thousands With Past Felony Convictions - Bolts
This is the only state that was banning people convicted of any felony from voting for life. Virginians have an opportunity to end that system for good in November.

Why is the NRSC even polling South Dakota Senate immediately dawg Rounds won 65-34 in 2020.
UPDATE: uh holy shit we’ve raised over $12k since I posted this. that’s enough to give each of the 9 candidates here over $1K each, a significant fundraising boost that they will feel on the ground in these must-win swing districts
Sam@samd.bsky.social · 6d agoI love Talarico and hope he wins. But he’s already raised $70M On the flipside, control of critical state legislatures will come down to seats where candidates raise 0.1% of that. I’ve researched the highest leverage swing district candidates you should donate to secure.actblue.com/donate/donat...
Lol he probably got them as bar mitzvah/wedding presents. This is a total non-issue.
the abbot of unreason (an archaeologist)@merovingians.bsky.social · 6d agowell that's going to complicate things, but it gives him a really easy PR win with the base
The 2026 NY-15th Congressional Primary, a contest between 3-term incumbent Richie Torres, and former Assemblyman Michael Blake saw Torres easilly win in this conservative Minority heavy seat — losing only one precinct in the beggining-to-be gentrified area of Motthaven
POV: you are the Susan Collins campaign and Graham Platner just resigned from the race

'DSA' is just really funny, it's being used like leftists used to use 'neoliberal' to describe anything they don't like.

Exclusive from me — Daniel Moraff, one of the political operatives behind Graham Platner's rise and fall, has been accused of sexual assault. Full story here:

it's also, as these things so often are, mixed in with a kind of ethnonationalism that seeks to prevent the influence of pernicious American citizens and preserve Puerto Rico for the Real People. It frustrates me that so many leftists cannot see how fucked up that is.
Awful awful awful. I hope there are news cameras ready to go. If there’s any single lesson we learned here in Minneapolis, it’s that ICE melts in sunlight.

Lately when I do a long run and finish near a bar or brewery I like to get a beer but also I get an non alcoholic beer at the same time because those are good to drink immediately post run. If there’s a line I get both at the same time and sometimes the bartender looks at me like I’m an alien
at least I understand why many republicans oppose statehood (they don’t want what will very likely be left-leaning senators and representatives), but anti-statehood lefties just crack me up
Humble Novice@humblenovice.bsky.social · 2w agoIs Darializa Avila Chevalier even aware that the majority of Puerto Ricans aren't interested in independence for a variety of reasons?
I've said many times that I'm hardcore self-determination for PR, and every time there's a referendum they vote for statehood, so....
Humble Novice@humblenovice.bsky.social · 2w agoIs Darializa Avila Chevalier even aware that the majority of Puerto Ricans aren't interested in independence for a variety of reasons?
yeah like, the idea among the left that PR could/should be a state is brand new. No one wants to touch that for the reason Maria said, and because the loudest Puerto Ricans on the left want to be independent to larp
Is Darializa Avila Chevalier even aware that the majority of Puerto Ricans aren't interested in independence for a variety of reasons?
It makes sense when you see so many on Twitter chastising anyone who points this out including Puerto Ricans who’ve studied the issue (see @sageoftime.bsky.social). They want to call America the evil empire. And if those folks want the empire? They’re simply lying or a silent majority doesn’t.

Weirdly, I can’t say it in English but can, and do, say it A LOT in Spanish.
@escapedexplorer.bsky.social · 3w ago10) If you're a guy I can almost all-but-guarantee you don't say "I love you" to the close family members in your life enough. I didn't! Started doing it without warning a few years ago and now all my family ends our calls that way and it just feels better in a way I never expected.
