Dark moderate

@Aerakau So, the ads are never about Israel lmao They are generic ads about the candidate being a fighter against Trump or "pro small business" It's extremely deceptive

@xHaustedOfStats And people really eat it up? Feels like there's got to be a better low cost way of reaching people (other than fucking canvassing) to counter that. So you prefer to put 100% resources into one race with a 50% chance than spread to 4 with 20% chance?

I am not managing expectations, but I don't see her getting primaried successfully if the focus is on Israel. There is a significant amount of progressive appetite amongst mainstream Dem voters in this cycle, but they don't care about Israel beyond broad CPC platform.

@Aerakau They need to spend so much because they back the most unattractive candidate They are identical to NRA from 15 years ago They won't back Dems in generals and back the most conservative Dems in the primary

@xHaustedOfStats AIPAC have bribed and blackmailed every major and minor news service in America already, it's not like that is factored in. How the fuck do you spend 25million?

@Aerakau Urban US media markets are crazy expensive

@xHaustedOfStats What can you even spend that much money on? Static, written, TV, Radio ads. Targeted Facebook ads. Leaflets. A whole new candidate wardrobe and stylist... Bribing is presumably illegal Their advantage is infrastructure, absolutely, but none of that is going into the accounting

@Aerakau AIPAC spent 25 million dollars on 4 house races in Chicago suburbs Overall spending was 100 million dollars Grassroots can rarely compete unless they are backing by local infrastructure, which tends to be Warren-esque progressives rather than outright lefties

@xHaustedOfStats Is it that expensive to run campaigns there or is the budget really small? I'm used to British politics where you've got a limit on spending and local elections are basically under £1000 total lol

@Aerakau In both the cases, AIPAC successfully got their candidate enough ad money to get 30% and then the progressive vote split

@xHaustedOfStats It's just a game of exposure isn't it? It doesn't take a lot to find someone with more personality and charm than a sitting politician, it's just about allocating your resources to get that contrast seen by enough locals. Are they just not spending enough doing that?

@umichvoter Surely Schumer/Gilibrand is implied for Stevens?

senate endorsements in #MISen Gallego is kind of a ? he's not officially listed

@Aerakau The two AIPAC candidates who win with like 30% votes in Illinois only did so because they got a lot of money and their progressive opponents didn't If the Kat/Allam money was used on Peters/Junaid, things would've been a whole lot better

@Aerakau I think state senates/city councils have enough quality progressives in every CD that can be challenged But so far, we have seen bad targeting. Lefties spent a lot of money/effort on Allam and Kat when the popular choices was already a progressive.

@Annie_Wu_22 @PoorlyAgedStuff Who is he implying was the 50th tho? Beasley or Barnes I thought they were both fairly underwater in polls

.@PoorlyAgedStuff

@CamDaddyCaves @Ericrse37986 Illinois' has crazy filing deadlines They closed in the beginning of last November

@Ericrse37986 Why not run as an independent candidate ?

Try to regain his old Congressional seat by primarying Melissa Bean.

Lefties can back broadly progressive campaigns and take down 50 New Dems, or they can take victory laps over coming in close 2nd behind CPC members while Blue Dogs and New Dems get away with murder

The anti-Israel candidates came close, but it won't be easy to win past Foushee or Biss or McMorrow. Their positions of Israel are *fine* and their overall positions are practically on par with Bernie. "Conditional aid" is the popular position, and it's still not relevant.

Uhm, excuse you, I for one want to see what the vote looks like when a sitting governor goes up against a guy with zero political experience

@BrianTerry180 @PollTracker2024 Good

@birdonever4getz @umichvoter McMorrow has spent a million on Meta fundraising El Sayed has spent nothing

This says everything about #MISen Individual contributions to candidates by $ amount

@NewProgressUSA @TomSteyer @envirovoters Yeah. Look at that. Look at COVID stimulus. Inequality is at an all time high because you let people consume rather than providing a stronger social net using taxes

@xHaustedOfStats @TomSteyer @envirovoters Wrong. Just look at the Expanded CTC. Giving people money helps them, even in America’s hellscape. You just don’t want to help people. Rotten cunt. Eat shit.

.@envirovoters has been a powerhouse in the fight for climate and environmental justice, and I am honored to receive their endorsement.

@TheANRP @maxtmcc Yeah, but they were the first to spot the 2024 racial/age depol That'll always be a nightmare to me

@maxtmcc wait but isnt Siena really really good?

those of us who recognize Siena College

@NewProgressUSA @TomSteyer @envirovoters UBI is a libertarian policy if it exists before a welfare state that can put Scandinavia to shame

@xHaustedOfStats @TomSteyer @envirovoters I’m no a Libertarian, why are you so fixated on them you weird tribal nutbag UBI will win. It’s necessary. Sorry you have shit for brains and no compassion. Fucking Yahoo trash. Uncivilized scum.

@NewProgressUSA No Yang dropped out with 1% vote share

@xHaustedOfStats Except you already did

It’s weird how some people absolutely DO NOT WANT others to have a passive income. I want that for everyone because it helps everyone. So many antisocial Yahoos out there.
