@ImNotOwned It leads to too many people refusing to do the work.

@ImNotOwned Good policies are good policies whether they are popular or not and if not then you have to persuade people. A corrosive post 2016 twitter thing normalized this idea that left policies are election winning magic and if they don’t win it’s a conspiracy plot.
English
This is the main area where the socialist left drives me a bit insane, the delusional electorate theories. It is probably good politics to center working class, etc etc, but too many actually believe they will reverse global political patterns. It is a game of inches, so

Graham Platner is ahead of Collins by 2 points in new NYT poll. One of the most intriguing details: She has a 21-point lead among non-college voters as Platner has made centering the working class the center of his campaign.

@CentristMadness There have been zero kinis at any of the America 250 events.
English
@CentristMadness He’s incapable of not extending way too much goodwill toward literally anyone who was “cancelled” for shitty behavior it’s like a machine that automatically assumes “maybe this person is secretly good” like lol no dude people can become hated for doing bad things.
English
@InlandCaGuy @hecubian_devil @TADStrange89 And Biden admin still forgave billions of dollars in student debt and these people don’t care. Years from now the “cancel it” Bernie left people who don’t credit Biden for his meaningful tangible efforts there will complain that “blacks got their loans forgiven but I didn’t”
English
@InlandCaGuy @hecubian_devil @TADStrange89 In reality “cancel it” was probably one of the worst flagship progressive policies because (as many predicted) a right wing court was always going to declare it illegal and it never made sense to not instead center the policy around bringing college costs down.
English
@hecubian_devil @TADStrange89 You know better than this Cassie. You know this ridiculous cope.
English
@TADStrange89 If there had been a full-throated effort by the party to build consensus around this, if they’d organized and propagandized competently and made it a big issue and still lost, I’d cut them some slack. But they didn’t! It was anemic

@ImNotOwned I guess a thing to think about is Harris had much higher likability polling than Trump in 2024 (which I was clinging to hoping would compensate for Trump’s apparently polling lead going into Election Day)
English
I would still bet on him winning (low confidence but I would rather be him), but the first number here is the scariest of all. Character is a nice to have, not determinative

@ATwinEarth @frigglehorn @CentristMadness She should have lost in 2020 and polling looked like she was until the very end when undecideds all broke for her. It seems fake to say it’s entirely because of “weak opposition”, voters know that these things are a binary,
English
@frigglehorn @CentristMadness So how would you decide if a politician is beatable? “Forget it guys, it’s Collins. Her polling is awful, but it’s like punching a sandbag. No use finding a good candidate!”

Hey why did this account stop covering train derailments
More Perfect Union@MorePerfectUS
BREAKING: An investigation is underway after 23 train cars derailed in Arizona. A BNSF train carrying cars, trucks and vans came off the tracks north of Phoenix in Coconino County late last night.

@sam_d_1995 The right’s big complaint for years was “you libs etc bring politics into everything” and there were times I could see validity to that but now Trump has made his voters by far the biggest offenders of that tendency, like 1990s Susan Sarandon Tim Robbins times 1000 it sucks.
English
it should probably be a bigger story that there was a normal bipartisan America 250 organization but then Trump decided to launch his own competing right wing grift version and ruined everything
Mack's Cats@maxkatz515
This sounds amazing and I would've wanted to go to DC for this. Alas, people wanted the child rapist in bed with the KGB instead.
English
@xbhaskarx @CentristMadness That’s kind of a sick person! Fully gives the game away that he despises libs for non political aesthetic projected psycho sexual reasons! No wonder his brain exploded!!!
English
@boggsbroads65 @HOLLYWOODCAUST @ImNotOwned Also you are doing that dumb Twitter guy thing of thinking the rando you are talking to represents/is responsible for an entire political party. Although sadder in this case because I am more of a supporter and more knowledgeable about the candidates you like but don’t realize it
English
@boggsbroads65 @HOLLYWOODCAUST @ImNotOwned Wait you are defending this obviously crazy person and you want to be associated with it because they are vaguely “anti-Israel”? Also the people who won those primaries are closer to Scott Weiner on the issue than freaks like you are. I support the people who won.
English
“Fuck you Scott” “we fucking hate you”
Yeah just normal healthy people voicing their disagreements
onion person@CantEverDie
@ImNotOwned he’s a politician. he wants represent people, he should be able to face their legitimate problems they have with him
English
@CentristMadness There is intentional dark comedy in how patient his date is but clearly uncomfortable both there and when he takes her to the funeral ground below to show her the rotting corpse of his dead wife.
English
@HOLLYWOODCAUST @boggsbroads65 @ImNotOwned Yeah I’m not a fan of Israel and you are justifying the harassment of someone who is also a critic of Israel. Don’t align your stupidity with our good cause. It literally hurts the people of Gaza.

That video of Weiner getting kicked out of the trans march is the most dejected I've ever seen a person look. Brutal.
English
@HOLLYWOODCAUST @boggsbroads65 @ImNotOwned Not really. Hey can you see how much you sound like a crazy person?
