Party

@afropessimistic she could be polling at 5% right now if she had been allowed on a debate stage!

Or a reflction of the fact that—in the same way that the DNC sabotaged Bernie in 2016–establishment Dems and Nithya have intentionally to exclude her from most public forums that would allow her to demonstrate she’s the better candidate

@disc_catcher so influencer wanted huang to pay for their services and then they worked for raman for free?

Insightful look into the LA Mayor Race on the left, particularly the narratives around Nithya Raman & Rae Huang

@TrumpSimp4Putin don’t elect steyer?

DO NOT FUCKING ELECT THIS GUY #CALIFORNIA

@PalantirChris @vilujidiot yes things are demonstrably worse when republicans win. i like to avoid demonstrably worse things.

@artecat23 @vilujidiot “No bro we have to fund the defense industry, Israel, insurance companies, corporations at large. If we don’t the Republicans will win and it will be even worse”

Spanberger had vetoed every single piece of legislation that motivated me to vote. She’s a total disaster of a governor who’s betrayed the very people who voted and volunteered for her.

@PalantirChris @vilujidiot yah they suck. i’d still prefer them to republicans any day of the week.

@artecat23 @vilujidiot Democrats in California have a trifecta. They can’t do shit man. It’s the same story in so many states. The arrogance and entitlement is so tiring.

@PalantirChris @vilujidiot and guess what mamdani is? a democrat and not a third party that can’t win elections anywhere

@artecat23 @vilujidiot Democrats didn’t want to touch Mamdani with a 30ft poll till last second. And that’s someone who is very milquetoast on a electoralist - radical spectrum. There’s clear appetite for a different path, but also a clear concerted effort to enforce status quo

@PalantirChris @vilujidiot so let republicans win elections lmao

@artecat23 @vilujidiot 1. Refuse DNC blackmailing like you are doing rn 2. Vote morals and ideology first, not party line 3. Support Greens, P&F, Independents and anyone who doesn’t take corpo $$ and aligns with funding healthcare, divesting from genocidal regimes, reducing military spending etc

@vilujidiot what’s ur solution besides let republicans win elections

@JoshTBVO I hope people learn a lesson from this. Dems are not interested in helping you. Voting for either of the 2 major parties is a waste of a vote

@FluentMundo two people asking u questions ≠ lots of people defending quince in ur replies

lots of people defending quince in my replies, seemingly a mixture of bots and people who work in marketing and brand strategy. but anyway, the ceo sid gupta literally promotes quince as a company where "sustainability as a standard, not a luxury"! thefashionglobe.com/quince-sustain…

shein buying everlane should make everybody shilling for quince on their woke podcasts feel ashamed... it was obvious before but now?! no such thing as sustainability at that scale be fr

@FluentMundo but we already knew this pre everlane sale? i don’t see how everlane being sold illuminates anything new about quince

@artecat23 anything operating at the scale of quince (a dizzying array of products, "mid-season" drops) is fast fashion, and they are even less transparent than everlane about the labor and ecological standards of their supply chain. there's a map of factories but it's not clickable.

@ZaidJilani it’s a nice thought but what’s the evidence

The single biggest problem for Democrats is working class men and candidates like Platner and Sayed can over time help solve that problem.

@nerdosyndical yah that is not why working class voters are drifting right. most working class people are not in unions nor are they paying attention to this issue.

Watching libs cheer on strikebreaking against the LIRR workers on the supposition that those workers must be republicans, and these people wonder why the Democratic Party is hemorrhaging working class voters.

@Kaimandante yah it’s not a difficult choice to make when there are only two possible outcomes

Liberals think a vote in a binary system determines EVERYTHING.

@JoelKatz @andrewperezdc yes they should have included the cost for public option as well

@andrewperezdc I love that they give the cost of one option (phrased in the worst possible way) and absolutely no mention of the cost of the other option.

@overpaidde86nz @andrewperezdc but their current private insurance would be banned. so if you like ur current healthcare plan you can’t keep it

@andrewperezdc Bad framing. People would still be able to purchase supplemental private insurance. And a public option wouldn’t work since private insurers would reject insurance for sick/poor people, forcing them on to the public plan and over stressing it

@Deve_Dy @AJentleson right the public option should describe the cost as well.

@AJentleson That doesn't mean this isn't a ludicrous polling question lol (only M4A quotes the federal outlay? come on)

It’s called “single-payer” for a reason! The defining feature of Medicare for All is that private health insurance would be replaced with a single government plan. Whether or not you support M4A, no one is doing themselves any favors by thinking that the defining feature of M4A is meaningfully mitigated by the highly contingent possibility that *some* people *might* be able to purchase *some* form of supplemental insurance for things like catastrophic care—a possibility contingent entirely on private insurers deciding it is still profitable to offer such plans, and then doubly contingent on those plans not being scams. Even then, your main health care plan would’ve been replaced by a single government plan! If we pass M4A, the main thing that will happen is that the government will replace private health insurance. That’s the whole reason M4A supporters like it!

@qwertyiop25 @AJentleson what’s misleading?

@AJentleson Why don't you address the fact that the way the questions are framed is misleading?

@AshDHarrington @AJentleson medicare for all ≠ medicare. so it is entirely accurate to say that m4a would mean no deductibles premiums co pays.

@AJentleson How about the fact that the way this question is phrased is completely inaccurate and not how Medicare works? At all. It has premiums, deductibles, private insurers (to those who opt in or are forced to opt in as dual eligibles in many states).

@andrewperezdc @AJentleson seems like a pretty comprehensive description of the pros and cons of m4a
