@EuropeanSocLib @GrablyR Brother he was the captain of the boat for 10 years.
Only thing he did was beating the shit out of gilets jaunes so that we would never revolt again.
He obliterated democratic and republican values that’s all.
English
@EuropeanSocLib by “not that impressive” i mean not as impressive as twitter would make you believe
English
you know susan collins’ 2020 performance really wasn’t EXTREMELY impressive?
if rcv fully went through, collins would’ve won by about 5.3, and the generic ballot in 2020 was only d+3.1, meaning she only overperformed the gcb by 8.4
English
@maeple73 @tetrarosie Oh you’re right of course. Forgot about Klob.
English
@EuropeanSocLib @tetrarosie Klobuchar probably clears it, I think? She outperformed harris by like 11.5%
English
@lawsbyana Abolish ICE polls pretty badly. Reforming/replacing ICE is a far more electoraaly prudent position to have.
Also the Dems who do well in general elections in pruple or red districts are almost all on the right of the Dem party on cultural issues.
English
yall are not paying attention to anything that’s happened this year. people are starving for good policy, M4A, housing first, an end to the genocide and abolishing ICE. ossoff says a lot of words but doesn’t actually say anything. It’s AOC 2028. LOCK IN!!
Michael@Socdem_Michael
If Trump really is going to war with Georgia Dems over 2020, this is a massive help for Ossoff. It might end up with Ossoff in the White House in 2029. The GOP might be digging their own grave here if they aren’t careful. Ossoff is one of, if not THE, strongest general election candidate for Dems in 2028. Trump should be artificially pumping up Newsom, Harris, or AOC for the 2028 primary, not Ossoff! (But Trump isn’t too smart).

@buzzbuzzboggs @LinkofSunshine @souljagoyteller That's fair, good look with the heat. A link would be appreciated though.
English
@EuropeanSocLib @LinkofSunshine @souljagoyteller I’ll try to remember to give a more detailed analysis later (no strong promises though). Rn I’m sitting in a hot house with no AC and can’t be bothered to map all that out lol. I will link a classic explainer or two of major caucus’ though if you’d like
English
What’s the best explainer for the different caucuses of DSA. What differentiates them
English
@buzzbuzzboggs @LinkofSunshine @souljagoyteller Ok, you’re right. It’s unfair to expect a single main factor.
But if you had to give 3-5 factors?
English
@EuropeanSocLib @LinkofSunshine @souljagoyteller You want me to give *one* main factor between 10+ differing factions?
English
@buzzbuzzboggs @LinkofSunshine @souljagoyteller Yeah obviously there are many factors which describe the differences between the DSA factions, but if you had to give *one* main determining factor, what would it be?
English
@EuropeanSocLib @LinkofSunshine @souljagoyteller Very complicated and resists simple explanation. Some aspects of party building is there, but there’s also organizing strats, relationships with Unions, and other fundamental differences
English
@buzzbuzzboggs @LinkofSunshine @souljagoyteller What *is* the defining difference between the factions then?
English
@EuropeanSocLib @LinkofSunshine @souljagoyteller Except it’s not a meaningful metric by which to judge the major political factions in DSA. Yes there are people on that extreme, but few. More importantly, it’s not really the distinguishing and defining difference of major DSA factions.
English
@oddmutant @socialistdrag0n @firebornnn I don’t think Hong will get more Dems to show up than the other candidates will. She will alienate more voters than the other though.
English
@EuropeanSocLib @socialistdrag0n @firebornnn So it's about turnout than anything else. You want a candidate that excites blue voters to turn out and hopefully not Awaken The Horde. However I do think that in a very high turnout election it does benefit Democrats slightly.

If it’s a Bernie endorsement this primary is over
Francesca Hong For Governor@FrancescaHongWI
There’s nothing more important than trust, and Wisconsinites deserve to know exactly who their leaders are, how they operate, and who they answer to. Our campaign answers to the people of Wisconsin, and we’re ready to lead on day one.
English
@socialistdrag0n @oddmutant @firebornnn That chance is significant.
Gubernatorial races can deviate wildly from national environment and state partisan lean.
It’s entirely possible for a Dem gov candidate to lose in a swingstate in a blue year.
English
@oddmutant @firebornnn There is no chance that Hong will lose the general if she passes the primary.
English
@bhennrich @RtRoach1986 @forwardspin111 @IAPolls2022 @nwprogressive That’s not going to happen lol. She’d obviously win the general.
English
@RtRoach1986 @forwardspin111 @IAPolls2022 @nwprogressive Yeah, and her voting record has 20% of the Dem base saying they will
never vote for her again. She has zero chance in November.

@buzzbuzzboggs @LinkofSunshine @souljagoyteller You do understand what a range is right?
The commenter described both extremes and said that the opinions in the DSA generally fall somewhere in between these two points.
English
@LinkofSunshine @souljagoyteller No, this is not a good explanation. Very very few hold that position in the org, and amount to a handful of cranks atp or extremely small caucus.’
English
Platner is dropping out.
Good riddance.
Graham Platner for Senate@grahamformaine
My name might be on the ballot right now, but that ballot line belongs to the people of Maine.
English
@BG_Elections It might actually matter if the GOP tries to lame duck rush a SCOTUS replacement if Dems take the Senate.
English
Why do these “expert political analysts” not realize how little this matters? There is already a regular election for McConnell’s seat, for a term of 2027 to 2033. If there was also a special election, it would be for a comically short term of a few weeks
Adam Cochran (adamscochran.eth)@adamscochran
Some people are asking why: 1) During a special election state parties select their candidates. 2) Independents can still file even after normal deadline. 3) Republican turn out is lower during special elections. 4) Massie could run for this seat which could sell it Republican votes. It’s too late for Massie to run independent in a normal election. But not if it’s a special election. He may not win, but a small R turnout and a split vote could get a long shot to the Dems
English
@kentucky_kiwi Does the special election even matter if the term will be a few months at best? The regular 2026 KY Sen election still goes ahead, right?
I suppose for lame duck SCOTUS nominations it might actually matter.
English
This is misinformation. The three month-rule for triggering special elections was repealed in 2024. Current law merely states that the governor "shall" schedule an election on a date he chooses with 63 days' notice
Adam Cochran (adamscochran.eth)@adamscochran
There are at least two reason they might not want to update us on McConnell’s condition: -In Kentucky, a special election to replace a Senator will NOT be called if it’s closer than 3 months till the next election. -That date is August 3rd. 1) If McConnell’s condition is clearly unfit for office, they’d hide that to avoid being forced to submit a resignation letter until after that date. 2) If McConnell has not regained consciousness or has the chance of oxygen induced brain death and is on artificial life support, they would try and -In Kentucky “brain death” is legally considered death under Kentucky Revised Statute § 446.400 -Any two independent physicians may declare the patient dead for the purposes of the seat being vacated IF the patient is only “alive” due to a ventilator and artificial life support systems. But, his next of kin (Chao) would need to be involved in the process of treatment and testing and final decisions to end support for that path to be viable… She left to China 3 days after his hospitalization. So is McConnell alive and well? Is he awake and functional? Is he a vegetable? Either way I think they are trying to make sure we don’t have the answer to that until August 3rd.
