@AndyMan2288 @souljagoyteller But if you wanna talk about critical resources being squandered with no strategic gains, this was primary complaint Lincoln had of his generals that went up against Lee for half the war lol

@AndyMan2288 @souljagoyteller If by critical resources you mean Stonewall Jackson, then yes, his own troops dropping his ass the evening after Chancellorsville is probably why Lee lost Gettysburg.

The obvious answer is Robert E. Lee

Post an overrated commander

@AndyMan2288 @souljagoyteller I think we forget how much wind Grant has at his back as a Union commander. The South had theirs backs against the wall for most of the war and they managed some impressive upsets against all odds. It’s wild that this is a controversial take.
English
@musingmymind @souljagoyteller The mistake is treating 'winning battles' as the criteria for evaluating generals. What made Grant the difference maker of the Civil War was that he was the one to realize that logistics were the ultimate difference maker.

@AndyMan2288 @souljagoyteller Not well! I wasn’t rooting for them, just don’t think they were bad generals lol — they were very very good and Lincoln knew it

My guiding philosophy is that I want to elect the most progressive candidate possible in each race *who can actually win*
That means I usually back lefties in deep blue states/districts & less progressive candidates in swing states/districts when necessary to defeat Republicans.

I don’t care what the national environment is, taking unnecessary risks in a post-VRA Section 2 world to boost cash strapped candidates in Trump-won districts to get a nominally more progressive House member for one term is deeply irresponsible and unserious.

@kkrespawned I thought this was true, and then I went to AdMo Porch Fest

I’m not into black listing anyone from future work in their area of expertise but I do think it’s fair to want a whole new crop of foreign policy staffers in the next democratic administration. It’s not like the same 120 people are the only people who know anything.

@cdamburst47 @ZaidJilani I’m begging you, go knock one door lol

@ZaidJilani We’re seriously acting like “synonymous” and “paradigm” are overly complex words?

Why do so many American leftists talk like they’re trying to win a scrabble game — the longer and more indecipherable the language, the better?

Asked directly if she still supported abolishing police, Francesca Hong said in a statement: “While I envision a world where public safety is not synonymous with law enforcement, I recognize that this paradigm shift is a very long term vision and my focus is building systems of care for now and for our future.” #WisconsinGovernor

@neontaster This would be funnier if he didn’t rise from the dead at the end of the last one

He was so clearly dead at the end of the last one. It's such bullshit when Hollywood just brings the protagonist back for the sequel just because he's popular with the audience.

@b_cuse_ I think it's smart. Dems can't do anything about the 2026 map (save for destroying the VA Supreme Court), they blew a ton of good will trying to redraw them this year, best to just focus on winning the seats we can and table these discussions until theyre less toxic/more relevant

So what’s with the Spanberger about-face? She was doing so well for a little while.
