My coldest take is you can be as far left as you want policy wise, you just have to joyfully call yourself a Dem if running as a Dem.

City dude, dive bar aficionado, #MACtion appreciator.
Ppl being shitty in the replies here are just miserable wreckers who are more interested in winning social media arguments than actually seeing Republicans lose control of congress.
MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com · 5h agoA 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…
My ice-cold boring take that will definitely not go viral is that a primary result with a margin of victory of roughly 1 percent tells you precisely nothing about The Future Of The Party.
(Wrigley crowd continues to cheer wildly as Cookie Monster begins devouring Jeff Garlin)
Forget Tarik Skubal’s Dodgers debut, the biggest moment tonight at Wrigley is obviously the Cookie Monster singing the 7th inning stretch
Bluesky: the Cubs' 7th inning stretch app
“COOKIE MONSTER WANT TO KNOW WHY YOU PULL ASSAD WHEN HE DEALING.”
PCA looked like he thought he ripped his pants on that slide.
I will not be surprised by anyone in indie rock who could be described as "difficult" suddenly going conspiratorial/weird/fascist. That's the Morrissey Rule.

The "If only candidates would begin caring about <thing I care most about>, they would win in landslides!" is a very, very common political idiocy on the internet.
No one more discredited than the anti-globalization folks of the 1990s.
These people are genuinely dangerous nuts, and anyone, *ANYONE* who starts ponying up to them and talking about how they actually have a point deserves to be criticized for it.
yes, this, too, and i am remiss for having said that at first. it’s ghoulish as fucking shit to heap blame on an older rep for being old because they got injured in a fucking car wreck.
Belle Tur@jasoncheathawks.bsky.social · 2d agodoing this about kaptur, who was IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, is such astonishingly bad faith.
This is why yesterday's loss was so frustrating. You knew a sweep was coming in tonight.
oh this is cartoonishly evil of Luke Murray and BC athletics’ higher ups should be ashamed of themselves for rolling over for him

The Verge@theverge.com · 2d agoBluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."
If you think it's worth "hearing out" MAHA freaks at all, you aren't serious about protecting the rights of neurodivergent people. You aren't serious about protecting the rights of LGBT+ people. You aren't serious about protecting people with chronic medical conditions. Is it worth "hearing out"?
The ‘anti-corporate’ angle of this is so fucking dumb too; congratulations, you are lining the pockets of quacks and small time con men selling ‘alternative treatments’ instead of Big Pharma, how virtuous
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez@ocasio-cortez.house.gov · 2d agoThere is pervasive corruption across our healthcare and agricultural systems that defy party lines. I meet with MAHA activists because a lot of their concerns are bipartisan issues that major corporations paint as partisan. The fight isn't left and right, it's top and bottom.
One of my lessons from the last few years is that maintaining a firewall against the absolute crank loons is far more important than ever, and it’s so depressing to see so many prominent politicians with the exact opposite takeaway
"perfectly willing to wear a boat caked in shit across my chest, but I'll ride that boat myself before I wear what appears to be a Dave Matthews Band shirt" is a very Chicago mindset
Harebrained@harebrained.bsky.social · 2d agoI redesigned this shirt after it occurred to me that people might not want the words “Dave Matthews Band” really big on their chest. Show your love for Chicago tour boats with this shirt, available now, and expertly printed by Exploding House ! #chicago
The Cubs front office is the most useless operation in baseball by far.

So Cubs just packing it in after the one deal, huh?
I am not happy this is 30 years old, but this is a damn fantastic list.
