They refused to vote for Clinton, Biden, or Harris all while screaming “earn my vote” and just assume that’s how everyone treats politics cause they haven’t logged off of Reddit in 15 years.

It gets an actual chuckle out of me seeing people on here say "now the TRUE test is whether the shitlibs can live up to their own words and line up behind El-Sayed!" only for Stevens, Whitmer, every prominent Michigan Dem, the DSCC, etc. to have endorsed El-Sayed before they can finish the sentence.

correct are you serious about beating fascism or not? get in, we’re beating them in november you can be mad, you can be disappointed, but at the end of the day having someone with D in any and all seats is better than having someone with an R in them

I meant to post this last night but if you’re mad about any of the primary results you got 24 hours to bleed, try not to say anything you’ll regret in 48, and then it’s Blue No Matter Who.

The aircraft carrier's long deployment in the Iran war is raising concerns that the sailors and Marines on board are facing poor conditions, low supplies and fatigue.

Miller is threatening to expose Bernie Moreno as gay. I'm not saying he is gay.

El-Sayed seems a fair talent. There remains a significant anti-Muslim faction. Stevens walking head first into Israel didn’t help her. The polls are screwed, but I would imagine a portion of her votes were tactical. Tight or not, the move against regular Democrats cannot be ignored.

El-Sayed: "If all Mike Rogers got is that 'his name is Abdul, and my name is Mike,' you're gonna be surprised how many people are like, 'Yeah, but that's the Abdul who wants to bring down the price of my groceries and make sure I got healthcare. So yeah, I like Abdul over your Mike from Florida.'"

If you have to make that argument: “I think my party’s Black leadership is a hindrance but I do not feel comfortable as a white man being the one to criticize them” explaining it better doesn’t help, it’s just the kind of thing where if you’re coming out and saying it, you’re losing.

Ah, so the question remains: can Trump take this big of an L without walking back on the deal within a week because people (correctly) call him a loser?

New Atheism quickly went off the rails but there's a genuine grievance there in that a lot of social life in flyover USA centers around religious institutions and for the secular types this can be incredibly alienating even if they're friendly and that's before we get into how a lot of them aren't

Bernie Sanders and Abdul El-Sayed endorsed William Lawrence for a congressional seat in Michigan. Lawrence said Black political leaders are a “pillar” of the “capitalist, imperialist” establishment, and that by backing Dem leadership they “defang the white left.” www.huffpost.com/entry/surgin...

My position as a card-carrying Neolib shill is that I'd rather elect DSAers who win Dem primaries over literally any Republican. It's Vote Blue No Matter Who praxis time, baybeeeeee

Congratulations to El-Sayed and I look forward to seeing Stevens' endorsement in the near future.

Food, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.

I think there's a selection of people who believe that certain things are endowed with magical, nay, mystical qualities, and that those things are kept from them by a conspiracy of people with no other goal than malice, and this informs people's takes on Vimes' boot theory.

Big tax results out of Missouri tonight: Voters statewide rejected by an huge margin a GOP ballot measure to phase out the income tax. They also renewed a sales tax to keep state parks free. And Kansas City approved a package of $1.7 billion of bonds for infrastracture.

Damn, the "Jump to Conclusions Mat" guy is one serious motherfucker.

This example can be applied to all things Trump, including his stubborn Iran failures and his unending 2020 election lies.

It's funny that Jeanine Pirro brought a box of evidence to WH to persuade Trump. He wants her to consciously *throw out* exculpatory facts and *knowingly* prosecute innocent people. So facts can't persuade him by definition. Me and @barbmcquade.bsky.social on this: newrepublic.com/article/2139...

Exactly! I’m so sick of being called “centrists” compared to these class reductionists posers. And they are not even great at the class reductionism because everyone with a net worth under a couple million falls into their idea of the needy. It’s absurd.

I’m pretty sure it was over for him when he threw scalding water on his wife and broke his child’s collarbone

It was over for Max Miller politically when he said his wife couldn’t have been abused because she offered to make him dinner 6 days later. He may not have known it when he said it, but that was the end. You have to be a sick bastard to come up with that as your defense.

NEWS: Rep. Chuck Edwards (R-NC) just dropped out of his re-election race at 3:32 a.m.m. He said he’s done running but will finish out his term. This after the House Ethics Committee found “substantial reason to believe [he] violated House Rules related to sexual harassment and hostile workplaces.”
