New Deal Democrat Sometimes I do the RICO (Really Intense Cussing Online)
I'm curious to know what the 60,000 people who voted for McMorrow wanted to get our of their vote.
Decision Desk HQ@decisiondeskhq.bsky.social · 11h agoDDHQ Race Update (est. 96% in): Michigan US Senate Democratic Primary Abdul El-Sayed (D): 724,468 (48.7%) Haley Stevens (D): 703,595 (47.3%) Mallory McMorrow (D): 60,053 (4.0%) Follow more results here: votes.decisiondeskhq.com/races/283906
🧵 Okay folks, I know a lot of people operate on vibes, but let’s deal with reality. If you want El-Sayed to win the Michigan senate race, you will need to open your wallets wide and drop some of your purity lines, particularly about PACS. First off Mike Rogers has a COH advantage of almost $2mil👇.1/
This government is OUR government, as much as we dislike the current political leadership. I'd be happy to explain why funding the FAA is important to someone who's capable of conversing without out of context interest in my bottom half.
I associate politicians who make personal insults a major part of their campaign persona with a lack of actual good policy ideas. It's Trump's whole schtick. I've said elsewhere that it was good that El Sayed asked his backers not to do it. Maybe, you should listen to him.
You're responding to a post about Kat Abu not only refusing to endorse the guy who beat her (the guy who also promised to vote for the Block the Bombs Act), but lying about him being an AIPAC candidate. You still haven't provided an example of Stevens' racism.
Thembo@thembo.bsky.social · 13h agothat's not true but why are you suddenly whining about an unrelated Palestinian woman as you try to defend Stevens' racism?
There used to be a bar in Chicago called "Club Foot" in Chicago & it was pretty much welcome to societal outcasts of all stripes. If you called someone a "gerblin" there, you wouldn't be allowed to come back.
Clubfoot Dance Club@clubfootdanceclub.bsky.social · 14h agoSorry but that’s kinda funny
Mocking women for their looks is in fact misogynist. I'm still trying to figure out how "vaccine injured" is supposed to be an insult here, but I can't think of any interpretation that doesn't make me think you're an asshole.
Thembo@thembo.bsky.social · 14h agothis is being shown to me as an example of el-sayed's campaign being misogynist lol
"Making space in our coalition for people who like MTG & Massie who also oppose Israel isn't going to sway our other opinions."
Come on, whom amongst you would not be thrilled to have your skeets turned into an Off-Broadway musical?
I guess Jonathan didn't expect anyone to actually read the notes for the prayer group he claims proves Gillibrand is antisemitic in an attempt to deflect from Abdul El Sayed playing footsie with Nazis for votes. capmin.org/part-ii-the-...
Jonathan Larsen@jonathanlarsen.bsky.social · 4d agoNEW: Corporate media zero in signs of antisemitism on the left. Meanwhile, one of Rep. Haley Stevens's most powerful backers in her Senate race attends a Bible study that teaches that the Jews killed Jesus...
The divide in the Democratic Party over I/P is shifting from Gaza to whether Israel should exist at all. Any candidate expressing support for a single state should face questions about how it will deal with Islamist political parties, especially if that single state includes the right of return.
∞ Monkeys@somanymonkeys.bsky.social · 4d agoEither way, it's going to get worse. Even if peace comes to the Middle East tomorrow, enough people have been radicalized into ZOG conspiracies that it's going to affect politics & the discourse for a while.
you know, there was a time, not that long ago, when this kind of "spot the Jew" post was only done by groypers but now....
I am not going to dive into the incipient knife & fork discourse, other than to note my experience in swank US culture is no one is obsessed about which hand you use, as long as you don't use the dinner fork to eat salad & chew like a grownup. I suspect this is also true in Europe.
I think a little crowdfunding for a concrete mold & a collaboration with the @worldbollardassoc.bsky.social is in order here.
tyler@tylergscott.com · 5d agoin portland someone spray painted penises around potholes, and they got filled pretty immediately www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...
so does any body know what the objective is of this new bombing campaign
Dear People Who Picnic in Public Parks: If your dishes involve small bones (Wings, ribs, etc) Please try to ensure you, and your friends, dispose of these bones into a proper waste container. Fishing tiny, surprise bones out of the mouth of my dog is not something he, nor I, enjoy.
Interesting reply to a 3 month old thread about Hasan Piker making light of date rape.
@larrysellers77.bsky.social · 6d ago👍😁
Quoting simply because it's a tangent on the thread. Aside from a couple hundred thousand public housing units, around 1 million NYC apartments are rent stabilized. Long time tenants pay less than new ones & far, far less than the market rate for unregulated units.
apophis@apophis.girlonthemoon.xyz · 7d agosomeone making $89k can afford rent in NYC?
Mamdani's promise is that the city stores will save the average NYC household $1000 a year. It would cost about $3.3 billion to mail checks to every NYC household. If the idea is to eventually have enough locations to be accessible to all New Yorkers, is it cheaper than just sending checks?
∞ Monkeys@somanymonkeys.bsky.social · last wk.The obvious correct answer here is roll back the recently passed work requirements on SNAP & turn it into a program that includes giving everyone a $100 card that can be used at any restaurant.
No one ever talks about how the NV DSA briefly taking over the NV Democratic Party contributed to Dems losing the governorship there.
Clean Observer@hammbear2024.bsky.social · last wk.Glad to see so many people willing to roll the dice with shitty candidates so others can pay the price.

Will Stancil@whstancil.bsky.social · last wk.Politics aside, do people believe city-run grocery stores with deeply discounted prices are a good POLICY idea? What are they intended to accomplish, in your view? What problem do they solve? Would you implement them if not running for election? I'm sincerely curious in people's answers here.
Silly Twancill thinks people are willing to eat in front of other people. How barbaric! I want to scarf down my large supreme pizza in privacy.
Will Stancil@whstancil.bsky.social · last wk.I’ve actually wondered about food halls/public kitchens for years. Produce a couple staple items every day, sell in bulk. Theoretically it’s always more efficient to let someone else cook, but in the modern economy, the cheapest food is what you cook for yourself. Build places to flip that dynamic.
