@_kxdyn @cakeboss26 @changingstar0 @itweethottakes @StatisticUrban @hexaroot01 Brother they also have a Democrat in Congress. You are the one who brought this up. Fix your attention span.

@Another1917 @cakeboss26 @changingstar0 @itweethottakes @StatisticUrban @hexaroot01 you are placing the performance of bernie, a democrat, in a primary, for democrats, all of which happened 7-10 years ago, above the actual, real-life votes of real-life trump voters in a real, general election in 2024 lmao

Hasan in this clip: "For progressives, getting out of the primary is a far more difficult battle than winning in the general. This our theory."
Oh boy. 2026 *might* be so blue it doesn't matter, but if this is progressives' attitude, a nasty surprise is coming one day soon.

@_kxdyn @cakeboss26 @changingstar0 @itweethottakes @StatisticUrban @hexaroot01 Democrats are not winning red districts by moderating.
They are putting forward moderates in elections, winning in some swing districts, and getting their asses handed to them by Trump.
The moderate strategy loses to a con artist who's willing to claim to be anti-war every time
English
@_kxdyn @cakeboss26 @changingstar0 @itweethottakes @StatisticUrban @hexaroot01 Which is not a swing district?
Biggest spread is 54-44 in ME-2. Obama won it in 2008 and 2012. Bernie won it in the 2016 primary, and he tied it with Biden in 2020 - after Bernie lost his credibility as a political outsider.
Is this a red district? It's more red than any other.

@cakeboss26 @_kxdyn @changingstar0 @itweethottakes @StatisticUrban @hexaroot01 Also, what socialist ran against Manchin?
English
@cakeboss26 @_kxdyn @changingstar0 @itweethottakes @StatisticUrban @hexaroot01 R+1 and all the monied interests against her.
English
@cakeboss26 @_kxdyn @changingstar0 @itweethottakes @StatisticUrban @hexaroot01 How long until another California resident tells me what people in the Midwest actually want?
I promise you: Socialists will outperform establishment Dems whenever they manage to defeat monied interests in the party.
Not being associated with destroying our communities is big.
English
@cakeboss26 @_kxdyn @changingstar0 @itweethottakes @StatisticUrban @hexaroot01 If you're responding to me, it's about red districts. Read.
Corporate Dems win in swing districts because socialists have not challenged. It's not a matter of who's most likely to win.
Bernie outperformed in red districts in the midwest. Next data point will be WI governor.
English
@_kxdyn @cakeboss26 @changingstar0 @itweethottakes @StatisticUrban @hexaroot01 You really are validating every stereotype about out-of-touch coastal liberals.
Claiming that OH-9 is a red district and that moderate Democrats aren't hated in conservative areas 😮💨
If this is the Democrat's future, the fascist reaction is going to be stunning.
English
@_kxdyn @cakeboss26 @changingstar0 @itweethottakes @StatisticUrban @hexaroot01 Are you seriously trying to claim a 50% Trump over Harris district is red, and not swing district?

@Another1917 @mattyglesias @mehdirhasan @yeselson The national environment is D+7. At worst for Dems, Michigan is R+2. A generic Dem should be up about 5 points against Rogers.
English
Gotta admit I’m kinda dooming on this situation
English
@cakeboss26 @changingstar0 @itweethottakes @StatisticUrban @hexaroot01 The hatred of moderate Democrats turned the Midwest into a Right-wing stronghold. Y'all need to stop lecturing and atone for your sins.
English
@cakeboss26 @changingstar0 @itweethottakes @StatisticUrban @hexaroot01 It is not a coin toss for Democrats in red districts. That makes zero sense.
Meija won by more in that district than any Democrat in over 30 years (probably longer).
Bernie won the conservative areas of the midwest in 2016, and blew all his support endorsing Clinton.

@trash_panda97 Playing defense for Democrats while they carried out a genocide. Mamdani doesn't have that stain.

i’m curious why zohran would be polling so much further ahead with young people compared to AOC

@mattyglesias @mehdirhasan @yeselson Beyond an outlier, the polls show both Dems up +1
In what world is that a lay-up?
English
@mehdirhasan @yeselson Well she’s gonna lose the primary, the question is what is Sayed going to do to avoid losing what should be a layup race in Michigan given the national climate.
English
@Cincinnatus56 Go back three years, and that was a compelling and popular position.
It's hard to say it doesn't matter when our elected officials say Israel dragged us into the war with Iran, and Netanyahu brags about the US-Israeli military integration.
It the most popular framing, but weak.
English
@Another1917 But the actual compelling and popular position is that this doesn’t really matter and should not be taking center stage (which she is correctly doing despite acknowledging difference in view with Abdul here)
English
The idea that politicians need to stand there and patiently listen to someone who is clearly grandstanding and not open to persuasion is sort of silly
Sam Robinson@samueljrob
Stevens met with community leader Jai Singletary, who told her he already voted for Abdul El-Sayed. Singletary showed photos of the youth soccer team he coaches before telling Stevens lawmakers shouldn’t be supporting Israel’s military that has killed children in Palestine.

@MagaUSA007 @HD189733ba @thestustustudio Supporting a foreign revolutionary government on its own is not "terrorism."
And the ideological development which occurs from said support is protected under the First Amendment.
You sound like a British sympathizer bitching about Jefferson's support for France.
English
@HD189733ba @thestustustudio You are right and unfortunately I realize our constitution wasn’t ready for domestic terrorists and domestics extremists. A lot of the laws need to be modernized.

FLASHBACK: Calla Walsh built her radical activist cred as co-chair of the National Network on Cuba. This role made clear her readiness to work against American interests.
Remember, a liberated Cuba is a Cuba that stops being the finishing school for America’s radical activists.

It's very ironic for Eddie from Midwestern Marx to attempt to insult me with the wit of a 13 year old boy considering that was the age of the child that Midwestern Marx co-founder Tim Russo thought he was talking to when he was arrested for trying to solicit sex from a minor.

"The anti-communism is partly a weapon of distraction. They're partly just trying to get people to turn away from the experiences that they know are true, which is the Trump administration's policies have been a disaster. They're trying to get people think that there's some foreign agent that's causing the problems in America."
