My most idealistic trait is that I have to believe that a political movement led by people who have lived the consequences of 40 years of disastrous public policy and emerged with a desire to help & heal will beat the political movement led by rich failsons, weird incels, and football coaches.

to be fair Jim Cramer does communicate with buttons like those dogs on instagram

Jim Cramer just now on Elon Musk and why you should buy SpaceX: “Because our minds are small and his mind is big.”

james carville has passed away. he was discovered simmering in a traditional bayou crawdad boil. he is survived by his menagerie of gators and tulane apparel.

it's kinda funny how every primary is a referendum for Future Of The Party until the next primary

ATTENTION TO ALL DEM TAX CUT SLOPULISTS

Vote Hong: It’s Not a Woke Thing, She’s Just a Miserable Person

regardless of which candidate you support I really hate this bit where pundits pretend being electable in a primary makes you electable in the general election just ask senators Hershel Walker, Blake Masters, Todd Akin, Richard Mourdock, and Sharron Angle how that worked out for them

I love writing the primary previews even though they're a giant pain in the ass because how else would I be able to share with the world that there's a real American election where the only two candidates on the ballot are named Ford Carr and Bonita Gooch

yes, trump is a sociopathic freak, but the far bigger problem is that every single Republican in Congress is a cuck with a humiliation fetish the founding fathers envisioned a mad king president but what they never imagined was such a cucked congress

Micah@rincewind.run · yesterday

the intentional abdication by Congress of nearly all of its constitutional responsibilities is at the core of most of our problems as a nation

Mu current assumption is that all races, regardless of geography or context, are secretly tied.

Looks 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

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.

I support the winner of the Michigan Democratic primary as the future senator from Michigan.

All forms of entertainment that I do not personally enjoy are the opiate of the masses. send tweet.

I have been roped into playing dnd, I guess I'm playing a trickster cleric and legally have access to a sound board for various shenanigans

If you show up to Bluesky without following anyone, you'll be treated to a series of posts about art, music, and dogs. If you show up to X without following anyone, you'll be bombarded with right-wing conspiracies and white supremacist slop. It's weird which one is seen as a "political bubble"

Synthesized hormones have only existed for 100 years and are only able to be produced at scale do to industrialized chemistry. Any movement against modernity and pharmaceuticals is going to be inherently hostile to trans people's healthcare no matter how queer and counterculture you paint them as.

“No alternative but to take his word” motherfucker you’re a lame duck who got turfed out of your own party in favor of an actual felon because you were insufficiently groveling to these guys. You’ve got plenty of choice. You’re free. What you’re lacking is courage and dignity.

Cornyn: "As to the idea it could be revived in the future, I think it's highly unlikely that could happen without the cooperation of the DOJ. And I think Mr Blanche gave us the assurances that it was dead and would not be revived and in this case we have no alternative but to take his word" 🙃

Man copilot is actually just terrible, 0-6 on what should be a pretty basic but time intensive task

Huge amount of our intrapartisan shitfits on here are due to being too weak to hate Republicans properly, and I'm absolutely not just talking about the prog side.

Turns out war is options trading by other means

Secretary of Defense Rock@sodrock.bsky.social · 2d ago

Still wild to me we’re literally fighting a war entirely outside of trading hours

oh my god no it does not. Canada has maha type cranks. The UK does. Japan does, Germany does, Sweden does, India does, France does IT'S NOT ABOUT THE MATERIAL CONDITIONS OF THE SYSTEM, WHICH YES ARE BROKEN MAHA IS A EUGENICS MOVEMENT NOTHING TO DO WITH THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM

I see where people got confused when folks like AOC said voters wont support Republican-lite policies. She meant that voters wont support *centrists* who are Republican-lite, leftists being Republican-lite will work out great surely.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez@ocasio-cortez.house.gov · 2d ago

There 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.
