again stevens losing with $60 million in ad spend suggests to me that she might actually have been a very weak general candidate

I'll be disappointed if Stevens wins, but mostly what you should take away from tonight is that the coalition really is divided between factions with lots of genuine support, we can't wish the other side away, and we're all going to have to learn to live with each other if we want to win.
Hopefully this means Dems are feeling pressure to quickly consolidate & let bygones be bygones

Teach your children ‘democrats are not always good, but republicans ARE always bad’ and in 2026 you’ve covered like 90% of their practical civic education wrt voting.
Stan Oklobdzija@stano.bsky.social · 18h agoThe best thing about Vote Blue No Matter Who is that it unloads a lot of cognitive burden. I wanted Tom Steyer to be in the Governor's race, but he's not so I'm gonna vote for Becerra. I don't follow his campaign at all: I'm voting for him because he's not a Republican.
Black voters actually vote Democratic, white voters keep voting for 'Thank you Mr. Trump, may I have another. And use the cactus this time'.
brent sewer socialist🚰🌹@therealbrent.bsky.social · 19h agoSo El-Sayed is doing better with Black voters and worse with white voters than most people imagined? That’ll be fun for The Discourse.
It’s funny because we do this thing where Black voters are pathologized, literally, every election cycle.

way closer than expected, but an Arab leftist besting 70 million in outside spending is an Arab leftist besting 70 million in outside spending: a political earthquake and a new dawn 25 years after 9/11
If there weren't a flurry of polls right ahead of the primary this would be seen as a political coup across Michigan for McKinney, Lawrence, and El Sayed to all win
Alexis@alexispace.bsky.social · 17h agothere's gonna be a bunch of cope about how it not being a blowout is actually a loss for the left and it's gonna fall flat because a win's a win's a win's a win. Abdul El-Sayed is the next Senator from Michigan.
NBC Calls it for Abdul El-Sayed to win the Democratic nomination for Senate in Michigan. We're waiting on AP call and another network.
no matter what happens here, I think the American electorate might be less predictable than any I've seen in the entire world. This doesn't even make sense anymore.
it's only possible bc their constituency populations are so strong but i genuinely think the UK does it right by not announcing any results until they've counted everything
Anchorage Man@sethpartnow.bsky.social · 20h agoRegardless of how it turns out NO HE DIDN’T. It’s like saying I have more fingers on my left hand after counting 8 digits from left to right with a ring finger and a pinky still to report.
if nothing else another big night for the "polling in the no-one-picks-up-their-phone-anymore Era is cooked" take
G Elliott Morris@gelliottmorris.com · 20h agoLooks 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

i know votes are still being counted but the more i look at this michigan senate map the more it becomes clear that it kind of looks like a mitten
Hard to believe so many people still take this fucking idiot seriously
I am going through Bram Stoker’s earliest notes on DRACULA today - they include a list of the powers and features of the Count (then named “Wampyr” before Stoker stumbled on “Dracula”), many of which are never elucidated in the book…
Still can’t over the fact that the president of the United States just told an entire state to pound sand after getting cyberattacked by a foreign adversary because they didn’t vote for him and it was treated like a Tuesday lol
yeah I’m gonna start blocking people for being shitty to Will Stancil, a person who I do not follow who does not follow me. the slashed tire is fully nuts and if you’re part of the problem from here you’re likely contributing to whatever fever swamp conditions caused it
It's so fucking crazy that we're doing this. Persecuting hundreds of thousands of people here living and working legally because we're captive to mindless racists
Employers Fear Labor Shortage as Many Immigrants Lose Protected Status
A recent Supreme Court ruling cleared the way for the Trump administration to end a humanitarian program that has allowed about one million immigrants to work legally in the U.S.

what's very annoying is the amount of centrist liberals who think arab-americans were invented in 2023 to sink the presidency of Joe Biden, instead of a moderate/establishment-leaning voting bloc that finds foreign policy, especially in MENA highly salient
