@wheetz @PollTracker2024 Plenty of presidents never won a statewide election before becoming president, including the current one

@PollTracker2024 The girl hasn’t won statewide so ‘‘tis is ridiculous

Just in May, AOC has: Rallied voters in Philadelphia for a left-wing congressional candidate in a competitive primary. Spoken at a rally in Montgomery, Ala., about voting rights. Addressed the historic Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta with Georgia Sen. Raphael Warnock. (Democrats note that Warnock, the church's senior pastor, doesn't always allow visiting politicians to speak at this church. Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg didn't speak when he visited in March.) Met with the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s daughter at the King Center in Atlanta to talk about data centers and voting rights. Visited Morehouse School of Medicine, also in Atlanta, to discuss Black maternal health. Rolled out several endorsements in races across the country. This week, Ocasio-Cortez will travel to Missoula, Montana, to campaign for congressional candidate Sam Forstag, a smokejumper and union leader who spoke at a rally with AOC and Sanders last year.

@ChadSlimeBased Unless you go into academia that's like, half the job STEM graduates

There are college students putting "Proficient in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint" on their resumes lmao

@eternallyRaq Tbf, I'd say Harris had a pretty good campaign in the 2020 primaries for running mate. I think it's highly likely she would have also been Bernie's running mate So maybe she can be AOC running mate this time (actually pretty sure this ticket would lose, AOC needs like Beshear)

No. We’re finished with this “it’s their turn” bs. Stop trying to coronate candidates. If Kamala wants it, she can run. And so should everyone else. And I hope no one drops out for her. Although only one 2028 contender has a history of dropping out before primaries begin.

@BallinwitAC If anything he should be more, he's the cabinet member with more power. All Vance does is resolve ties in the senate, he actually lost actual power compared to when he was a senator and had a full vote

Yeah because Rubio is totally going to be tied to the Trump admin in the same way as his litteral VP

@8xrsc @SexoGratweeto parte do problema é que tudo aponta a um governo do PS a depender da abstenção/suporte do PSD não teriamos retrocessos enormes ao lado do Chega, mas teriamos votações muito tristes ao lado do PSD e digo isto como alguém que votaria PS taticamente se votasse num círculo pequeno

@SexoGratweeto Simples: as pessoas não querem populismo de esquerda (se quisessem, votavam no Bloco/PCP) e já viram que a direita é só retrocesso. Comparar Carneiro a Starmer é desonesto, não vejo o JLC a ceder na retórica progressista como Starmer cedeu. A subida dos Greens dá-se mais por aí

Alguém me diga as grandes propostas de a Carneiro que estão a atrair pessoas para o PS aos magotes. Eu não acredito que estamos a viver a Biden/Starmerização com anos de atraso 🫠

@danielcapitaooo é desta que eles vão conseguir

isso força, dispersem votos, go ahead hehe

@bigseb31213 @ImNotOwned that was far from being the only difference between them, and people on the left were overall fine with Pritzker, who is also jewish Shapiro praised Netanyahu, and the murder thing is a bad look, he would be attacked for that in the general regardless of truthfulness

@ImNotOwned It's entirely correct. Look back at the 2024 veepstakes where the only difference between Walz and Shapiro was that one is Jewish, and look at how the left responded to him. It is now entirely mainstream on the left to believe that Shapiro personally covered up a murder

This is crazy to believe IMO.

@Clinton2028 missing independent rep because Murkowski would lose in the primary but win in the general also I want to believe in Brown, Osborn and Blexas

If every single senate seat was up in 2026, what would the outcome be? I’ll go first:

@kimjisoothought o único problema do AO foi não permitir as multiplas grafias, desde que se perceba o que está escrito é na boa uma palavra ter duas grafias isso e não ter corrigido ser "asteca" e não "azteca" que o Estado Novo estragou

os comentários nisto são um degredo xenófobo (como seria de esperar), mas tmb não entendo o argumento aqui feito é por Portugal escrever “directo” e não “direto” que estava condenado à irrelevância?

@ElliscbIV he had the bipartisan credentials when he was confirmed as Secretary of State by everyone, but he has since ruined them by being a Trump's puppet

@Helena7447 @SexoGratweeto o partido pode ser marxista leninista, mas o programa eleitoral é social democrata. nenhum desses partidos tem no programa acabar com o capitalismo mundial e criar uma sociedade socialista em 4 anos. socialismo pela via eleitoral é uma das definições de social democracia

@SexoGratweeto Estás enganado. O PCP é um partido marxista leninista. Não é social democrata. Tens q ler mais, senão andas enganado ...

O programa do BE, PCP e LIVRE.

@Sharonjoy4 @AndrewMamo5 @jamestalarico Please vote Cornyn out and lose the senate seat, but imo you shouldn't be doing that because of what his dentist said

@AndrewMamo5 @jamestalarico Well, that shows loyalty to the Republican Party doesn’t it? Another reason to vote him out.

The New York Times: Mr. Radwanski, the dentist who had once treated Mr. Cornyn, said he was nervous about the election. “I don’t want to see somebody like Paxton as our senator — I’d be so embarrassed,” he said. “We’ll vote for @jamestalarico over Paxton,” his wife said.

@JDCocchiarella Well for Ossof not so much since I'm sure every democratic ticket will be mixed gender until a woman is elected

@JDCocchiarella yeah, imo Beshear is a great running mate for either of them in part because he's going to be out of a job anyway

Love this in theory but the Vice Presidency is not important enough to waste either of these two on

@idesofmarch205 @976noodles @mags_mclaugh Khanna represents Silicon Valley and that shows in some of his stances

@976noodles @mags_mclaugh Rizzless? Kinda yeah, but he was very high profile in going after Epstein and that could be very valuable. I wouldn't say he's way to the right of AOC, but a little. AOC is still my top choice by far.

I am going to regret asking this question…. If not AOC for President, then who? (I voted for Rashida last time but she’s been clear that she doesn’t want to run, just fyi)

@ettingermentum does her endorsement matter that much these days?

When plays cute about AOC just to fuck us over one last time for the road >>>

@matthiasposting @ewoud_storm @ThatGarthGuy @llwtydeer I'm personally happy that the two parties most affected by Germany's threshold both sucked, but who knows if maybe a Kenya coalition would have been better 5% is so stupidly high

@ewoud_storm @LordMudkip73 @ThatGarthGuy @llwtydeer I'm much happier with that than the complete lack of diversity in, say, Austria or Germany.

why 3.6% that’s such an oddly specific number

@ReticentCone @Zoomer_Doomer_ I mean when you're actually running you start asking for money and it's a risk if your campaign goes badly. the threat of running can force other candidates to move left, while running and losing would ruin that

@Zoomer_Doomer_ the point of this is to keep pretending she isn't running for president as long as possible but she obviously is.

Interesting

@ewoud_storm @ThatGarthGuy @llwtydeer it's close, but neither of those have electoral thresholds. I meant there's no country with nationwide "proportional" representative elections with thresholds that also has STV

@LordMudkip73 @ThatGarthGuy @llwtydeer ... you mean the single transferable vote system? It's used by several countries, like Australia and Ireland. Google's your friend!

@NunoHFranco @pedroprola não acho que duplas grafias sejam um problema, aliás, até acho que devia ter mais. deixem as pessoas escrever "projeto" e "projecto" e depois com o tempo se uma das formas dominar naturalmente passa a ser a "oficial". o importante é perceber-se o que está escrito

@pedroprola O AO90 foi das piores coisas a acontecer à língua. Não unificou e acentuou diferenças, com duplas grafias, palavras diferentes que ficaram com a mesma grafia (e.g. óptico e ótico) e outras aberrações (para/pára). Vários países não o ratificaram. Preferira várias normas.

dos 265 milhões de falantes da Língua Portuguesa como primeira língua, 215 milhões estão no Brasil. o segundo país é Angola e o terceiro Moçambique. mas ainda há gente em Portugal que ataca o Acordo Ortográfico, acha que tem o monopólio da língua e faz pouco dos brasileiros.
