Didn’t matter as long as that border was open.
America doesn’t want another FDR, they want another Bill Clinton from the left.

@reesetheone1 He was one of the most transformative presidents in history

@trouble_man90 No just lean into it thats out problem

@PaulSorrentino3 Twitter is crazy pushing anti left propaganda right now
English
The amount of centrist propaganda being pushed down my throat on twitter is awfully telling.
English
@reesetheone1 AOC does really well with labor though. I live near Gary, Indiana. I have lived in Ohio Michigan and Illinois. Her labor support would offset some of her shortcomings in cities.
AOC would do better here then Newsom
English
Obama was a midwest Democrat to her right politically.
Her immigation positions get Dems murdered in WI MI and PA in 28.
Abolish ICE?
seriously?
Sam Grady@SamGradyWrites
@aseaborne AOC has more than twice the federal government experience Obama had when he announced his presidential campaign.
English
@PaulSorrentino3 I mean they didn't start this. Anti-establishment is having a moment and party leadership is willing to let extremist republicans ruin america to stop losing their grip on the party.
English
wish these democrats fought this hard for Medicare for All as they do for their sheepdog dujour hasan piker lol 😂
Marco Foster@MarcoFoster_
Jennifer Welch on Hasan Piker: “The people who lose these Democratic campaigns and they think they can say on the one hand we need a Joe Rogan of the left and then you have this guy who always platforms universal human rights, he is not an anti-semite, he will not leave one group aside. He has a massive network of engaging young men away from this horrific Andrew Tate, Joe Rogan. Hasan is the antidote to that”

@theurbaneist @DeepNotShallow I totally disagree with this. The problem is that moderates concede reality to GOP on what is radical. As you elect more moderates, but extreme conservatives. The spectrum steadily shifts to the right over time. Sitting politicians who would cut minimum wage. DSA isn't radical.
English
In 2024 more low information swing voters saw Harris's record and statements on inflation, immigration, and trans issues as too far left than saw Trump's positions as too far right. One of the keys to Trump's success has been appearing to be more moderate than most Republicans on unpopular issues during elections.
English
If centrists actually cared about electability they'd focus on swing seats. That's it.
But they don't. They fight tooth and nail over D+50 safe blue seats.
It was never about electability. It's about control for their corporate donors.
English
@TSmith90 @RepThomasMassie @SenRickScott @grok He has increased the deficit the most of any president ever.
English
@RepThomasMassie @SenRickScott @grok Massie, how do you not see Trump as the best thing to come along giving us ANY hope to get spending down? Why hate on the man? Let him work his plan. Support him or STFU. He's without doubt the best chance we've had in decades. In our lifetimes.
English
America is over $39 TRILLION in debt. If it were up to DC politicians, nothing would EVER change. This is unsustainable!
President Trump wants a balanced budget — and I’m fighting to help MAKE IT HAPPEN so our kids and grandkids have a strong future!
English
@ZaidJilani One of the biggest lessons DSA should be picking up from Mamdani is that just because republicans are going to brand you as unhinged radicals. Doesn't mean we have to deliver messaging that way. If you are willing to get out there and make the case to working people. It works.
English
Zohran Mamdani is like five times more moderate than AOC; he’s much better at politics he even convinced the bigot GOP president to fall in love with him. I don’t buy comparisons between the two.
English
@bhaviklathia @reesetheone1 We are so tired of california and new york in the midwest.
But AOC could do it before Gavin. It has nothing to do with man or woman, black white or latino.
Just no more coastal corporatists
English
@reesetheone1 Democratic strategist raised in mid-Michigan and with *lots* of experience winning in Wisconsin.
AOC could win in WI and MI. Newsom would struggle because voters in those states hate weather vanes.
English
Let’s not nominate Newsom or AOC.
AOC CANNOT win WI MI and PA.
Chris Sosa@ChrisSosa
An NBC News survey found Newsom was even less popular than Trump, with Trump underwater by 12 points and Newsom by 18. Conversely, AOC polled ahead of Trump, Newsom and the Democratic Party itself. sosavstate.com/p/gavin-newsom…

@chasemanaena @reesetheone1 Indiana guy here - union loves AOC
English
@reesetheone1 i disagree with you their i think AOC Could win WI MI and PA.
English
@reesetheone1 AOC could win anywhere in the midwest
English
@SamCKx @piersmorgan I just meant like you see a lot of the Manosphere guys do this same thing.
Joe Rogan thinks he is ideologically center left because he spends all his time with extremist right wing loons
English
Given this has me down as ‘right-leaning’, I question its accuracy or relevance….
Nate Silver@NateSilver538
These are the Twitter/X accounts with the most engagement so far in 2026. I suppose I had some intuition for how bad it was, but jeez, this is what you get when the ecosystem is broken.
English
@ThePhyscoDC @trouble_man90 This. Establishment is unserious about winning
English
@trouble_man90 Telling people not to vote for the top polling democratic candidate?
Are centrists like you even Democrats?
English
It sucks that we could lose the senate because DC pundits and soft, California, millionaire pod bros saw a scruffy beard and a flannel shirt and lost their minds
Graham Platner for Senate@grahamformaine
Over the last eight months, I've sadly had to deal with a certain kind of person. They're in DC, they think they're political geniuses, and they view us up in Maine as a malleable mass to be manipulated, messaged to, and tricked. And their time is over.
English
My top 2028 picks are…
AOC
John Stewart (dark horse/honorable mention)
big gap
Ossoff, Pritzker
bigger gap
Everyone Else
English
@ConjurShadow @DeepNotShallow They are as centrist as they come
English
@DeepNotShallow Clinton and Harris weren’t centrists.. Everyone loves crafting a narrative to support their beliefs to push the next candidate and you don’t need to do that. If you understand the reason they lost then it’s easy to see on the presidential level a centrist or progressive can win.
English
Centrists say centrism wins hard seats.
Clinton lost. Kamala lost. Meanwhile Platner and Talarico are polling to flip Republican Senate seats as unapologetic progressives.
Offer voters Republican-lite and they'll choose the real thing every time.
Neera Tanden🌻@neeratanden
Rep David Valadao has won multiple hard races, in a very moderate district. The purpose of these primaries is not to win ideological battles within the Democratic party - it is to beat the Republican and take back the House. Please act accordingly.
English
@RepRileyMoore The republicans own the senate dumbass
English
Democrats are DESPERATE!
The bill that the Senate passed- aka “Hakeem’s Dream” is America’s worst nightmare.
House Republicans are saying HELL NO to this bill, and instead fight to fund ICE, CBP, and HSI.
It’s time to put an end to this madness.
It’s time to make America safe again!

Politicians - especially Dems - should pledge not to take AI money.
They are buying up influence ahead of the midterms, and Dems who take AI $ will lose authority and trust as the public bears the cost.
Their money will end up being toxic anyway. People are catching on.

AOC fight back girl
If you wanna be president or Speaker or Senator or something you gotta start calling these old stuffy fucks out for their disrespect.
You have way too much political capital to not be using it.
