So well said. Sorry about that.

I mean I get it that in particular post-Biden, people are super sensitive to age. But I mean you look at Cooper in NC and Brown in OH. They are literally dream candidates. Weโ€™ll figure out their age later. Letโ€™s win first!

Yea this is all so well so. Iโ€™d give anything to go back to a time where we disagreed, strongly even, but we didnโ€™t want to kill each other.

Iโ€™m not convinced itโ€™s possible without big changes, including getting rid of social media & ending the 24/7 news cycle.

This is the way. Iโ€™m done with litmus tests and candidate purity.

That shit ainโ€™t winning us races.

Get on board with whoever the nominee is, in every single race. And if thereโ€™s a candidate that isnโ€™t your favoriteโ€ฆ.

This is very, very good to see. While he may not be the favorite of many Blueskyer's, Governor Shapiro is insanely popular in PA, amongst basically every demographic of voters.

His doing these types of videos is a big deal.

Iโ€™m going to be watching very closely how they respond to the 2025 elections in 4 weeksโ€ฆ.

Oh it's going to require blocking out a ton of noise in the meantime for sure. I trust Mainers to choose the best candidate though :)

Hot take maybe but I feel like whoever comes out of that primary is going to be stronger for having done so.

Oh see itโ€™s funny it seems like Iโ€™ve thought the opposite. Has the conventional wisdom been that late breakers went to Trump?

And what's interesting is, there is nada showing up on the flight radar.

I will say this, kudos to Manu for pushing back with follow up questions. They normally suck at that.

Yea I kinda had the same question. So the MSG thing wasnโ€™t enough for them but shunning Bad Bunny will be?

Color me skeptical

Yea, I tend to be a pretty run of the mill, risk averse, Centrist Dem, who thinks the country is better with two well-functioning political parties.

And I couldn't disagree with this more. Primary voters in particular are going to demand scalps, unless something drastically changes before 2028.

07.10.2025 17:56 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 12    ๐Ÿ” 2    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 4    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

1000%.

I also think the pivot to the general is going to be super interesting because I just don't get the sense that low-information/Indies are going to share that same view but ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Appreciate the dialogue gents.

Fair enough. I still think it's full of risk but again, I acknowledge it's helping people which is a good thing overall.

Interesting...hmm

That's another one that just feels like a GOP helper for the midterms.

I'm still so in 'touch the stove' mode, I'll own that.

07.10.2025 16:38 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I'm so conflicted on that first part, @jordanahoward.bsky.social. Feels like it takes a big one off the plate for the midterms. And I just doubt the voters give Dems ANY credit for it.

I'm all for doing good things to help people but I'm torn on this one. Not gonna lie.

07.10.2025 16:35 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 2    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Lmfao literally why on earth would Dems trust Trump and the GOP at all?

They have shown zero reason for ANY good faith. None.

I echoed this yesterday but it bears repeating.

Between this and the NFL selection of Bad Bunny for the Super Bowl halftime show, the ground is shifting.

This administration isn't to be feared. They're to be mocked, they're to be called fucking dorks.

New YouGov/Economist poll dropped today. Few highlights for me:

- Generic ballot at Dem +6
- 53% say economy is getting worse
- 41% blame Trump/GOP for shutdown, 30% blame Dems. Only 68% of Trump voters blame Dems. Rest are split

Lots of interesting data in this one!

Unfortunately many are real including the one being mentioned here. Oftentimes itโ€™s large accounts with hundreds of thousands of followers too. Which makes the effect even worse by spreading negativity & fear.
