Could have had any Dem and they wouldn’t have had any of this dumb shit. Oh well.
Personally, I think people who are between the third and fourth quintile of income-earners in California should probably pay some income tax.
I can't even find the words to express how repugnant and despicable this post is.
People who spew such Islamophobic bile don't belong in the United States Congress. The job of elected officials is to combat hate, not fan its flames. (1/2)
It’s a collective delusion that everyone believes otherwise. For sure some of it is negative polarization against their subscribers, but we have to be honest and say the industry is brimming with shy Trump voters.
The media supports Trump and his agenda.
Like maybe it was true that the people who worked in the political media were democrats a couple decades ago, but if you checked the votes of the people who work in the mainstream political press there’s no way Trump doesn’t win that vote.
The political culture of the contemporary GOP is indistinguishable from that of the school shooter community
Like not in a Greenbook way or anything. Not that it’s bad just that I think it will be forgotten. Like we’ve overcorrected to this thing being Tho Godfather or whatever.
I think people are gonna feel a bit silly with the level of praise heaped on Sinners in ten years tbh.
I got it, just have to wait for 2028 when she’s old enough, but CA 41 is a GOP seat that encompasses Coachella.
She’s from Oakland 😞
It’s a lesson that’s easy to dismiss, but there’s a deeper thing here that since ~2020 Dems have become coded as uncool/lame.
My “run hot charismatic people” theory of politics keeps paying out like a slot machine
That’s a good point tbh. He didn’t look remotely right.
Saka was so so so bad. Like without doubt the worst performance of his entire career my god.
Audibly cheered at my house when he was taken off.
This has tipped into the single worst performance of Saka’s career. He is worse out there right now than fall time Gyokeres.
Saka was dreadful in that half
Saka had been dreadful
He should have been off if the referee weren’t a coward
It’s not good! I think the despair is warranted.
You cannot uncouple politics from elections. And electoral politics isn’t something to be dusted off every 4 years, you have to be doing it constantly.
It failing in Ward 6 is evidence of this and to me also really puts a nail in the coffin of any hope for supplemental funding being brought before voters to repair the massive inequities in funding going to suburbs over the city and roads over transit.
To be clear I have no inside knowledge of the decisions of this campaign, I am simply deducing their decisions and strategy based on observing the campaign as a (non)voter.
But the messaging in particular was way off. Not to mention the actual political strategy among electeds.
I’ve just been twiddling my thumbs. Getting paid less than minimum wage for a primary is evidence that I’ll work cheap if I care about the cause and I was deeply committed to RTA failing.
But I also care more about winning than being right, which… does not seem to be shared by those who ran No.
Bit of a personal axe to grind here: (a) people are very quick to dismiss professional political operatives, but it turns out subject matter expertise on voters is real and important (b) why didn’t I or some of my other colleagues who are the best campaign people in Southern AZ get a call to help?
Which is a shame bc the folks who volunteered for No and put in the hard work were let down.
But seriously bc vague-posting is bad: my take is that while No had a hard, uphill fight, it wasn’t impossible and the No folks didn’t do a good job.
The most in denial cohort of people on this planet.
Romilly no!
The flour tortillas available in the rest of the country (let alone Ireland!!) really are a quite different from fresh Sonoran flour tortillas which still have a bit of an oily coating on them from the lard.
In the unlikely event Arsenal ever visit Phoenix in July (haha) we’ll set you up. (2/2)
