*whispers* you can continue to read me, the pundit who insisted the other pundits were wrong about these conclusions

For years, but especially for the past year, Democrats have been in thrall to the idea that they need to chase an imagined median voter, and adopt that voter’s positions. Mamdani’s victory shows another way: hold principles, and persuade people to share them.

We go to sleep in a better country than we woke up in. Thank you to everyone who worked for these coast-to-coast victories, for this utter repudiation of Trumpism, for economic justice and a country for all of us, not for white supremacy.

yeah but I didn’t do this to you and that’s what counts

There, my friends, is an urban-suburban-rural, multiracial coalition.

only ruining a select few people’s day by sending them the democrat kpop demon hunters elections fancam

You African Studies majors out there: you too can become mayor of New York City!!!

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

“defy court orders” is a real generous way to say “continue to break the law”

i love going to war because rich people don’t feel stimulated enough by not having any real problems on their lives

love that the da vinki twins have decided to make hating on AI fans part of their core content lmao

They hanged the people who got us the 8-hour workday.

it is pho weather is it time to get pho

truly a missed opportunity not calling this a streaming service

best wishes to Jamaica but yall posting videos just screaming bomboclaat at the hurricane is taking me out, amazing people all around 😭

There are so many lines in this review and interview that are hysterical. There part that’s like “why are we still talking about Biden?” “Um because you wrote a whole book about him?” has had me cackling

“Every time our candidates spoke about the economy people hated it, but the economy is important, so we need to focus more on the economy….. moderately!”

Maybe insisting the economy was great for both of their campaigns was flop messaging, guys. Maybe doing it again will work, though! Yeah!

The only thing this report gets right is that ultimately Dems lost due to a perception they were out of touch. Instead of interrogating the failures of their economic messaging, it just insists the problem was talking too much about social issues.

I tweet: "people who see 50% of their monthly paycheck go to rent don't care if a candidate eats with their hands. they want to hear what your candidate is going to do about housing." John Galt 2025 replies: "Move if the cost of living is too high."

who creates the lively art and music scenes if the rent is too high? who makes cultural life? who serves you food or washes your dishes? who creates the fancy little restaurants that draw you to urban living? affordable housing is at the heart of what makes city life worthwhile.

“donors are paying for the ballroom, why do you care”

some of y’all’s inability to understand how corruption and bribery work on a barebones level is honestly staggering

ah the people “donating” just happen to benefit from his entire economic platform, I’m sure that’s just a huge coincidence

The dooming on this site is getting out of control. Every time you post anything about politics some rando condescendingly wonders how you can't possibly know that elections are over and all hope is lost. If you've completely lost hope, I'm sorry, but shut the fuck up, OK? You're not helping.

also the way these people went from “everyone who doesn’t buy our big beautiful beef is an enemy of america” to “we have to buy argentina’s beef to save them” is so funny

shout out to ranchers who hate progressives even though with us they’d still have trade customers and also healthcare lol

My main hobbies

anytime I see a republican say “news flash!” I know I’m about to either be told something I fully already understood and was probably already clearly stated or something so incomprehensibly easy to disprove it’s difficult to imagine pointing that out would be fruitful at said point

the worst part about early morning train is the number of people who apparently just roll around in fabric softener before leaving their homes

like why are we hot boxxing the downy, dawg

Great insight into Trump's appeal to the Southern electorate and its roots in exploitive economics and power by @tressiemcphd.bsky.social @jamellebouie.net and @davidfrenchjag.bsky.social Grew up Philly, now living in NC, I still marvel that a NY tabloid coverboy created such fandom in the South

been reading a lot of medieval English history recently and it's instructive as to why the Anglo political tradition evolved away from monarchy. every 4th king or so would turn out to be a murderous lunatic, people got sick of it

perhaps too many people are dependent on aws when the things noted as having outages in all these headlines are so wide ranging

like how are Autodesk and Roblox both impacted by the same outage lmao

If Turmp was a king we wouldn’t have to execute a years long coordinated attack on all checks to executive power now would we? Checkmate, libs!

It is estimated that early 7 million people took part in demonstrations across more than 2,700 cities and towns making it one of the largest single-day nationwide protests in U.S. history. Scenes from Chicago. #3E #NoKings #50501Movement #indivisible #wearetheflood
