So well said. Sorry about that.
08.10.2025 02:12 โ ๐ 3 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I 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. Weโll figure out their age later. Letโs win first!
08.10.2025 02:11 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Yea this is all so well so. Iโd give anything to go back to a time where we disagreed, strongly even, but we didnโt want to kill each other.
Iโm not convinced itโs possible without big changes, including getting rid of social media & ending the 24/7 news cycle.
This is the way. Iโm done with litmus tests and candidate purity.
That shit ainโt winning us races.
Get on board with whoever the nominee is, in every single race. And if thereโs a candidate that isnโt your favoriteโฆ.

Lmfao literally who would watch a fucking Lee Greenwood halftime show?!!
08.10.2025 00:41 โ ๐ 6 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0This 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.
Iโm going to be watching very closely how they respond to the 2025 elections in 4 weeksโฆ.
07.10.2025 23:30 โ ๐ 5 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Oh 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 :)
07.10.2025 22:14 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Hot take maybe but I feel like whoever comes out of that primary is going to be stronger for having done so.
07.10.2025 22:11 โ ๐ 5 ๐ 1 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Oh see itโs funny it seems like Iโve thought the opposite. Has the conventional wisdom been that late breakers went to Trump?
07.10.2025 21:46 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0And what's interesting is, there is nada showing up on the flight radar.
07.10.2025 21:26 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0I will say this, kudos to Manu for pushing back with follow up questions. They normally suck at that.
07.10.2025 19:24 โ ๐ 4 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Yea I kinda had the same question. So the MSG thing wasnโt 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.
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 ๐คทโโ๏ธ
"I didn't vote for this"
Fam, you LITERALLY voted for this. He's only doing EXACTLY what he said he was going to do. You just didn't listen ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Heard. I've spoken my piece. lol
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.
07.10.2025 16:39 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Interesting...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.
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.
Lmfao literally why on earth would Dems trust Trump and the GOP at all?
They have shown zero reason for ANY good faith. None.
And I certainly hope the follow up question was โa special prosecutor for what exactly?โ
07.10.2025 16:06 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0But @trumpstaxes.com the doomers say this means there will never be an election again in human history!!!! ๐๐
07.10.2025 15:59 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0I 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.
โ
Its honestly long overdue time we start pushing these fucking geeks in lockers again.
Show no fear. Call them out.
Also literally caucus messaging and cohesion has literally been amazing the past few weeks.....
07.10.2025 15:22 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0New 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!
4 weeks from today fam......
It's nearly our time to send this administration a fucking crystal-clear message! โ
Unfortunately many are real including the one being mentioned here. Oftentimes itโs large accounts with hundreds of thousands of followers too. Which makes the effect even worse by spreading negativity & fear.
