for any reasonable partisan dem this should be the last straw. If you take money from AIPAC you are aligned with a group that doesn’t care about taking the US senate back from republicans.

AIPAC: "Our members remain determined to ensure that voters reject Dr. El-Sayed and his radical anti-Israel agenda in November."

are ads different from interviews? are interviews different from tweets? is [podcaster] an incel? is dsa my friend

Banger

The deciding factor for many folks on whether to vote for stevens or el-sayed was probably that they saw haley more on the teevee and thought she was a real fighter cause she was endorsed by obama

Micah@rincewind.run · 8h ago

my strong prior about michigan btw is that the vast majority of primary voters were actually happy to vote for either candidate in the general and will consolidate quite easily behind el-sayed just like they are coalescing behind talarico in texas online freakouts are not real life

One of my most paradoxical takes is I will always be a Sunrise Movement defender bc I’m fucking tired of ppl ignoring how bad liberal climate politics were pre-Sunrise Robinson Meyer wrote how unprepared Dems were in 2017- Sunrise changed that! www.theatlantic.com/science/arch...

Democrats Are Shockingly Unprepared to Fight Climate Change

There’s no magic bill waiting in the wings—and no quick path to arriving at one.

These three candidates in Michigan came for the establishment. They all just won. A movement is building.

This sounds like cope from your end because you want him to lose. Not me tho! I actually don't like fascism. stay blessed tho

The margin being this close suggests a lot of Democratic primary voters in Michigan *did not* see AES as "like most Democrats." This is cope.

I feel like ppl aren’t distinguishing btwn air travel being for the elites *50 years ago* and air travel notoriously getting worse over the *past 25 years* due to increased regulation that killed competition & incentivizes airline to not care about satisfaction at all prospect.org/2017/11/03/u...

Unfriendly Skies - The American Prospect

It’s time to admit that airline deregulation has failed passengers, workers—and economic efficiency.

So this is basically one of the entry points to becoming a reactionary

what a dumb primary. I hate this fucking country

This level of spending actually makes me deeply angry. Let's never do this again in a primary ok

Mallory McMorrow endorses Abdul El Sayed minutes after NBC call

i feel like if all of those internals didn't come out showing el-sayed up by double digits, you guys would be way happier this is all an exercise in expectation management in the end

Data for Progress we are coming for your ass

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.

unless Macomb or Detroit drops a crazy bomb for stevens I think we're chillin

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.

Please for the love of god if you are a progressive campaign: BUY TV ADS

Deadass everything is cool when you're just chill

However bad my night is I hope Magdi Jacobs' is worse

AIPAC is unironically the biggest enemy of progressives across the country. What a waste

I do think AES has done enough to win. And I just want to say, start to finish, maybe my least favorite federal primary ever. Even if you like AES as I do, this whole primary was extremely damaging and an enormous waste of money (think about how much progs had to burn here to keep pace...crazy)

Buttigieg could have had this seat for free but he wanted to run for president and drop out before super tuesday again

This is a great bit ngl

Cameron 🇺🇸🗽🦅@cameroncorduroy.bsky.social · 23h ago

you know i'm starting to think she just hates holidays for their own sake, not even as a woke thing

I would vote for her but i would probably secretly hope she loses and the rest of the senate candidates win

Micah@rincewind.run · 20h ago

folks this is what Vote Blue No Matter Who actually means we buckle down and beat Mike Rogers in November no matter how this finishes

'I just think she's a fighter!'

#StupidSuez@diplomatofnight.com · 20h ago

I’m gonna lose leftist cred for this, but I think McMorrow would’ve won this primary 60/40 over either candidate

Sorta tough day rn for “Impact of money in politics” deniers

It's really funny that John Kiriakou is just a politics podcaster now lol

"Haley Stevens" was an 18-month sociological study commissioned by the University of Harvard. Thank you for your participation, or however this meme goes

I've told this story before and I suppose now it's time to do it again. When I was in 9th grade, my English teacher was the elderly sort of man who always wore a gray flannel suit and had a cigarette before class and a cigarette at the end of class every period.

It seems like assigned reading, especially summer reading, should include titles from different genres, with different tones, from different eras. (And as a former sulky Anne Rice-reading teen, I advocate for some over-the-top moodiness in the mix with realistic problem fiction and happier tales.)
