I cannot describe the things I will feel if the country ends up having gone through all this to get president buttigieg

@Great_Chumpion @WokeAnnUpdates I'm splitting hairs here tbh - Maine being D+13 instead of D+20 or whatever doesn't make a Collins loss any less certain - but the state moved pretty similarly to other heavily white states from 2020-24, and I don't see why that would change now
English
@milquesoc @WokeAnnUpdates Lots of liberals have been moving to Maine.
You'll never hear it from YIMBYs, but Maine has been doing a *fantastic* job building affordable government assistance, and we've seen a LOT of liberals moving there as a result.

Wait is this poll is assuming a D+3 national environment

@BeshearStan If I were barely leading the polls against a crazy Republican opponent, I too also would be hesitant to redistrict tbh

Wow what a useless governor. Hakeem Jeffries should go to Oregon and just push her as much as possible to get 1 more Dem seat

why, oh why, does the left have to be filled with divas and cranks

@ettingermentum “Fighter or strength” being that low is interesting given the narratives around this primary
English
One of the most illuminating polls of the race: the most important reasons as to why Platner supporters say they supported him. Only 18% cited policies or ideology, the same number who cited electability. *58%* referenced one character trait or another.

For a decade, Democrats have tried to find their own Trump. For better or worse, they may have found theirs last week. Here's what it looks like when an establishment dies. ettingermentum.news/p/the-art-of-l…

it is so embarrassing that ro khanna will be the john the baptist of our own organic neofascism

@AezzieUwU Would obviously be bad to have an executive cooperating with Trump on anything

For all my left wing oomfies, Im genuinely serious. Read his campaign website and try to find ONE thing you don’t like. And then remember that Dems have a supermajority in the California State Legislature and can literally override anything this guy does. stevehiltonforgovernor.com
Steve Hilton@SteveHiltonx
This campaign is not about Democrat v Republican. It's about common sense, change, practical solutions. I'm not a politician. I'm an outsider, running for governor to shake up a system that is obviously not working. Here's my story:

@matthewstoller depends on whether or not Peltola wins in Alaska!
English
If Graham Platner wins would he be the only Senator without a college degree?

@purplewaves7 But broadly, socialism and even things like m4a, to a degree, aren’t really compatible with the sort of pastoralist, anti-monopoly vision. Inevitably we will collide with small hospitals, small businesses, local governments, etc, and large parts of the base will turn on us
English
@milquesoc i think lowkey most people don't make a connection between supporting anti-monopoly policy and opposing nationalization in their minds. no one is trying to argue medicare for all is bad because it would create a health insurance monopoly for example
English
Claire is starting to get there, but I really wish the DSA was more willing to explain to the public what democratic socialism actually *is*
Claire Valdez@claireforny
Democratic socialism is about extending democracy beyond the ballot box to our workplaces, our neighborhoods, our economy. Proud to be a member of @nycDSA.
English
@purplewaves7 Part of this is just that I’m a crank on this issue, but the vast majority still definitely think monopoly/concentration is the biggest structural issue with this economy. Hard to imagine convincing them now of broad public ownership or even just like industrial policy
English
@milquesoc i think "america should be more like norway/sweden" has way more buy in than anti-monopoly policy among people who consider themselves socialists in america. they want an expanded welfare state above most else
English
@tristanbard0516 @purplewaves7 Near-universally they prefer ie. a market of mom-and-pop landlords to social housing
English
@tristanbard0516 @purplewaves7 There are a lot of people who don’t really have strong opinions but will call themselves socialists if pushed. This is what I think the base is, and their instinct on these issues (esp. things like housing and electricity) also tends to be “break up the monopolies”
English
@purplewaves7 Almost all the more checked-out young “socialists” I know are really just anti-monopoly. To what degree I know their opinions on state ownership, they resemble those of the anti-monopoly people like Stoller (?) who objected to the proposal in principle
English
@milquesoc I think the negative reaction to that has more to do with people online wanting AI to be straight up banned rather than hostility to state ownership as a concept
English
Susan Collins should simply accuse Platner of being too stupid to get earmarks for Maine

Left-wing Victoria Spartz in the Senate will be very fun
