At the risk of ruining my mentions, I want to remind my centrist friends that “vote blue no matter who” also applies when Dems nominate a leftist. We need to be single focused on winning back the Senate. We cannot do that without Michigan.
easy to forget that bsky was founded by Jack to be a 'libertarian crypto paradise' bastion of "free speech" unlike Woke Twitter, but was immediately colonized by Trans shitposters who were fun and entertaining and ran off the boring tech dipshits to Nostr, a crime the devs will not forgive
