The libs are still the kingmakers here, and will remain so for the foreseeable. Evelyn Normielib is now open to socialism, we can't afford to close that door by being interpersonally unpleasant. The United States has binding partisan primaries, we just need to convince normie voters.
As a left wing progressive who would like to see left wing progressives continue to win Democratic primaries, perhaps we could find it in ourselves to try and be good winners. There is no need to say VBNMW with a sneer. We can just smile and say "I feel optimistic about the direction of the party."
can I put “my sex pest former boss was terrified of me so I just did whatever I wanted and unionized 500 people at the company” on my resume
A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…
correct are you serious about beating fascism or not? get in, we’re beating them in november you can be mad, you can be disappointed, but at the end of the day having someone with D in any and all seats is better than having someone with an R in them
post malone ergo propter malone@proptermalone.bsky.social · 9h agoI meant to post this last night but if you’re mad about any of the primary results you got 24 hours to bleed, try not to say anything you’ll regret in 48, and then it’s Blue No Matter Who.
i saw a clip of the upside down kiss from raimi spider man and it’s crazy how much more horny that is than anything in the MCU
This is basically the implicit argument to trump made about January 6. I haven't been punished for it so it can't have been that bad

[guy who votes for pedophiles for president, senator, representative, and city council, and is himself personally a wife-beating pedophile] the Democrat Party has bad values and hates Jesus
All else aside, tremendous credit to Stevens for immediately throwing her support behind El-Sayed in the era of factions being shitty or outright knifing their primary rivals after losing. Makes me think more highly of her and is a great modeling for how Vote Blue No Matter Who applies both ways
The attempt to recreate Sebastian Gorka runs into an unavoidable problem: even if you're only 65% successful, 65% Sebastian Gorka is still a terrible person

No. Primary margin does not matter, and isn’t predictive of the general election (Obama-Clinton close, Obama-McCain not; Clinton-Sanders close, Trump-Clinton close). Winning the nomination is what matters. Stop trying to force factional infighting on what’s shaping up to be a diverse popular front.

i know these people are evil but their need to constantly prove just how evil is so disturbing.
Missouri elections be like: Hitler (R) 79% - Christ (D) 21% And then the ballot initiative: Amend the Missouri constitution to require the state to own the means of production and work towards full communism? Yes 92% - No 8%
aww did someone get addicted to corruption and graft!!!!
The Wall Street Journal@wsj.com · 19h agoNew York City’s business elites are long accustomed to direct access to City Hall, where even Democratic mayors felt the need to court the city’s wealthiest and most influential corporate leaders. That access is getting shredded by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

Seconded. It’s wrong on principle, it’s unamerican—we rejected religious tests for office and dual loyalty smears with JFK, Jewish Americans, more—and every minority (especially but not exclusively religious) should recognize it as yet another assertion that only white Christians are real Americans.
ae@aelkus.bsky.social · 15h agoi really have no patience whatsoever for people who are scared of muslims having elected office
For the past five months the only refugees the USA has accepted are white South Africans fleeing equality & safety meanwhile they are disappearing or strapping ankle monitors on any Haitian they can get ahold of. It needs to be understood how thoroughly connected these two things are.
i support [$democratic_candidate] for [$public_office] and believe that their politics is a perfect fit for [$state]. I would drag my [$genital] over [$harmful_object_or_substance] to vote for [$democratic_candidate] this fall.

Missouri voters reject income tax phaseout, initiative petition changes • Missouri Independent
Missouri voters resoundingly rejected major Republican priorities on Tuesday as proposals to eliminate the income tax and change the way majorities are counted lost by large margins across the state.

saw the article, took the first pic of the national guard to come along I don’t want to overemphasize them doing nothing because they have done some things and their presence is harmful but look at this pic and tell me what’s worth billions of taxpayer dollars
Actually disgusting that nurses were treated like utter shit, overworked and dying during the pandemic and RFK on TV told everyone that didn't happen. I can't even imagine a more thankless, hostile job right now.
