@Merlinchon @leftistfromMI6 I'm not sure what you mean by doing poorly. There's little indication that Vance isn't going to glide to the nomination.

@leftistfromMI6 I don't see who the outsider would be tbh, looks like Rubio has a pretty clear path for 2028 given how poorly Vance is doing

@ajrodz @TannenbergBltz McGrath's running again in Kentucky. Are you sure we're out of the clear? Lots more months to fundraise😅
English
@TannenbergBltz Im glad we've gotten atleast a little smarter and stopped the Kentucky, South Carolina nonsense

Only four of those people won.
Tim Tagaris@ttagaris
This is how crazy 9/20/20 was on ActBlue - the day after RBG died - day with the most donations of any day on the platform. Context: Bruce Braley, the Dem nominee in Iowa in 2014 (same class C seat) raised $9.3m in individual donations total. Greenfield did 1/3 in 24 hours.

@_rotimia Maybe if you think it's bad policy? Too costly or whatever?
English
If we get free primary care for all Americans that would be a huge revolutionary idea that changes American healthcare. But then why not just do free healthcare for American citizens only or run on Medicare for All when Americans are clearly in support for that?
English
The free primary care idea is good, it would radically change American healthcare. I think it’s sort of obvious though the left has the momentum on healthcare policy and other factions of Dems are trying to figure out how to capture that momentum, without just copying M4All.
tré easton@treeaston
The problem with an all or nothing approach to this is that, more often than not, you end up with nothing. Medicare for All is your thing. Got it. But to act as if it’s the *only* solution (and that it’s not without its own tradeoffs) is a disservice to patients and voters.

@Dysgruntledd @BasedIllinoisan Polis booted out of office and destroyed in an election? Count me in!
English
@BasedIllinoisan Yes. If the dems kicked him out I'd take him in a blue state.

Is Jared Polis actually gonna be impeached for letting Tina Peters out of prison or is it just a temper tantrum that'll blow over?
BeshearStan@BeshearStan
Yeah Jared Polis needs to be impeached. When even Colorado Republicans are criticizing you for pardoning Tina Peters you DONE fucked up

@SethAbrams1 @EricAdamsFanBoy Kelly won reelection in Kansas in 2022 so I think it's quite possible Hobbs would've held on in such a timeline
English
This the fucking Governor map if Harris won in 24
English
@DobsonBugnuts @NateBlanchett He doesn't really gloss over it. He says "107 days, only really 77 when you count early voting." He's highlighting that truncated timeline as a problem.
English
Crazy to gloss over "had only 107 days to run" as if that was just a structural fact of the campaign cycle, or that Jen Psaki's handling of Biden's advancing dementia is the root of the problem rather than the dementia itself
Had Biden simply reckoned with reality and announced in ~January that while he still feels he's doing the job well his age is advancing to the point where he's not sure if that'll be true tomorrow, and so he's resigning the presidency and trusting Kamala to pick up the baton, she could easily have won. If she'd lost, it at least would have been unquestionably her fault.
English
Blue MAGA and MAGA mirror each other in many ways, one big way is the closest they will come to criticizing “dear leader” is blaming those in their orbit, while absolving Biden/Trump of any agency for their grievances. David here is a perfect example, it wasn’t Biden himself who was to blame for dealing Kamala a rough hand, it was the “all-white inner political circle” around him
English
@BasedIllinoisan @thegingerrrrrr Damage control and unification is why I expect Rubio is going to be Vance's running mate.
English
@thegingerrrrrr Not far better. Rubio is just damage control among Hispanics and is able to unify MAGA and RINOs. If Trump is as unpopular as he is today in 2028, Rubio won’t really do any better than Vance among Dems and Indies.
English
Yeah he’s gonna be the Republican nominee in 2028
Sorry Rubiotards
JD Vance@JDVance
If you commit fraud against taxpayers, we're coming for you.

@joeyjguarino @hasanthehun How'd we see Bernie help Trump in '16?
English
@hasanthehun Or when he did his best to help Trump and take down Hillary so he could run in 2020?
I don’t know who counts towards rotating villain in your little highly curated menagerie.
English
remember when biden ran on public option in the primaries against bernie’s m4a & every serious pundit told us bidens plan was the responsible doable alternative- only for biden to never bring it up again. the private healthcare industry is up to the same tricks one more time.
Sahil Kapur@sahilkapur
Scoop: Democratic think tank @SearchlightInst is pushing the party to embrace a new idea: Free primary care for all Americans. The group wants Dems to rethink their approach to health care and break out of the M4A vs ACA rut. They’re unimpressed with CAP’s proposal and warn that Dems need to have a vision beyond opposing Trump and restoring expired subsidies. “This is still our best issue, but we have not been on offense in a way that’s capturing people’s imaginations and getting them excited,” says @AJentleson. “We don’t need to be on defense or just advocating for incremental reforms.” Story w/ @BerkeleyJr: nbcnews.com/politics/polit…

@ashitaka214 @ZFlawles1s @DivineChimeraYT @whoseurlefty The political malpractice was being the party in power during the post-covid inflation surge. Mistakes were made but I doubt anything changes as long as inflation was still on voters' minds.
English
@ZFlawles1s @DivineChimeraYT @whoseurlefty What you’re not grasping is the “idiots making decisions that affect all of us” are not voters but elected Dems. Blaming voters was defensible-ish in 2016 bc it was close, but in 24 KH got BLOWN OUT. 2024 wasn’t the result of some lefty knuckleheads, it was political malpractice.

i have 3 political moods
- every republican alive is an affront to god
- the democratic establishment is so evil they hate the left more than republicans
- the leftists who refused to vote for kamala are genuinely some of the dumbest people alive

@stogachess I don’t think he holds hard feelings if she bows out after NH and by that point she would’ve established enough to be the I Told You So 2028 candidate she was clearly gaming to be

You gotta think that Haley gets a good position in this admin if she doesn’t go sicko mode hardcore resister anti-Trump out of nowhere after the start of voting in the primaries right
English
@tyler_digital @NilesGApol The motive behind doing the redistricting for 2028 now was to ensure the seats were taken before a Dem potentially wins the governor's office and stops Rs.
English
@tyler_digital @NilesGApol KLB had the nomination locked up long before this. All this will serve to do is ensure that Ds have insane turnout to send her to the governor's office.

Congrats to Brian Kemp on…juicing Black turnout in a key swing state?
The Political HQ@ThePoliticalHQ
Black turnout is off the charts in Georgia this morning. Let’s see if it holds as the day continues.

@firebornnn @BasedIllinoisan Booting Fetterman isn't the problem. It's primarying him with someone who would f us over in the general.
English
@YuppyYellowKing @BasedIllinoisan Surely she'd have a very hard time taking advantage of that effect if Dems have held the white house for 12 whole years
English
@BasedIllinoisan Literally anyone but Trump gets a rally around the flag effect for Covid

Ted Cruz would’ve lost to Hillary and then Republicans would’ve came back and won in 2020 with Marco Rubio

Imagine if he ran for governor and lost. That he would never run for president.

uh, it's me2@mr_guy56
@SethAbrams1 @PollTracker2024 I don't think Bernie should be polled but I disagree that we should assume their numbers would combine. AOC usually gets 10% in polls w/o Bernie, so it's not like she has an extra 10% that gets stolen when Bernie is removed. He's a well-known name that prob gets unique support.

@DamienPales @Faj1791 Like, I supported Mills. She lost the primary. No chance but to go with Platner because none of his flaws are worth holding us back in the Senate.
English
@Faj1791 Some of us just don’t want Trump to get another justice on the Supreme Court. Literally everything else is secondary to me.

@rowanfornow - publicly repudiating Ds was prob of benefit to him, if I'm understanding you correctly
- I'm glad that, despite any skeeziness from Osborn, NE Dems have still been all-in for him this cycle. Sadly, I expect him to lose, but it's been a hell of a fight they've put up.
